EDIBLE PODDED PEAS. 
Whilst such a large share of popularity has been accorded the ordinary shelling Peas 
in this country, our friends on the Continent have assiduously developed the Edible Podded 
Pea section, and have thus obtained a delicious vegetable but little known here. The 
shell of our garden Pea is lined with a tough and stringy membrane rendering it unfit 
for food; in the class under notice this membrane is absent, having been converted into 
a fleshy succulent substance. The pods will thus snap readily, but are generally cooked 
whole and served to table usually with some plain sauce. 
The variety we now offer under the name of CARTERS’ GIANT EDIBLE PODDED PEA 
grows about 5 feet high, and bears enormous pods of a sweet and pleasant flavour when 
cooked. 
Price 1/6 per pint, 2/- per quart. 
HINTS ON GATHERING AND COOKING.— These Edible Podded Peas should be gathered whilst fleshy. Cut off 
the top and bottom points, at same time pull away any semblance of back string that may be found ; boil in salt 
water until a fork goes easily through them. Before serving up to table, cut the pods into three or four pieces, 
including the Peas, and cover the whole with a sauce made of yolk of egg and cream.
