MarroWfat Peas.

kThese or similar dried green peas
are excellent and, the last two or
three years, have come greatly to the
fore. Usually instructions are put on
each packet how to cook them, and If
they are. carefully followed, the result
iSHery successful.
ySoaking is essential, of course, then
afterward they can be cooked by any
recipe given for fresh green peas.
F'Should there be any yellowish or
greyish peas amongst them after
soaking, they ought to be removed,
as they take longer to boil than the
younger ones.
You will find they make the most
s-:npting green pea soup, especially if
.ou boil a ham or bacon bone with
them, or use pot liquor in which fresh
or salt meat has been boiled.
