sse you don't know English pea salad? Man that is a staple of every buffet line around. Usually tastes like bird poop too. I wonder how you people won the war. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
My version of this old stand-by is good if I do say so myself. Make up a batch and let me know what you think.

ENGLISH PEA SALAD

1 15 oz can English peas (sweet peas) drained. The smaller peas are better.

1/2 cup minced onions

3 diced hard boiled eggs

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/2 cup grated cheese, American or Colby or chunked Velveta if you like it

1 small can water chesnuts drained and chopped (optional)

1 small can pimentoes drained and chopped

1/2 cup sweet pickle relish drained

dash garlic powder

Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Mix all above in a bowl gently until combined. Don't mash up the peas.

Mix together 1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing and 1/2 cup sour cream and stir in as a dressing.

Put in refrigerator until chilled and serve.

Bog - OK, I just printed out the recipe, thanks. I think I have had some kind of salad that had peas, recall I like it, too. I got a batch of that pickled stuff from the other thread going right now. See what it tastes like tomorrow, then I'll give your stuff a try. Family's away at a cottage for awhile, so I got a lot of eatin to do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

winkl - You forgot one ingredient. 1 round trip ticket to the coast. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Regards, sse

SSE, that round trip ticket would bring the price of the crab up just a bit wouldn't it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> Besides a crab does not require a round tripticket to the coast if you are going to eat him does he? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bog - First thing I hope your wife is healing up, take good care.

Next, I tried the pea salad, and its exquisite. I'm already thinking of ways to tweek the recipe a bit. All in all, very nice and unusual, a keeper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again, sse
