  Mushy peas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked overnight and then simmered until they form a green lumpy paste (the better the mushy peas, the less obviously bright the colour - peas with few additives tend to form a more grey-green end product).
They are a very traditional northern English accompaniment to fish and chips, or in the North West are commonly served as part of the popular snack of pie and peas (akin to the Australian pie floater, although using mushy peas instead of a thick pea soup) and are considered a part of traditional British cuisine.
Mushy peas can be bought in tins; one of the most popular brands is Batchelors.
