- That strikes me as very strange. I thought that surely English peas were
- called English peas in Texas. Doris? Nancy? Is it true that they're called
- something else there, or has abh led a strange life?

- P.S. Graham and abh: English peas are relatively small and green.
- The best ones are the smallest ones. Even the smallest ones are a bit
- larger than lady peas. But they're smaller than crowder peas or black-eyed
- peas.
