Why do we serve it with peas?

When Andy and I hit London in January of 1998, we really hit the food scent hard. Almost every dish was listed as coming with “chips and veg”. As I am sure you can figure out, chips were fries. We had traditional “fish and chips” off a place called the Fryer’s Delight with some of the best kind of white, flaky fish.

The veg that every place seemed to serve?

Canned green peas.

Even with the melt-in-your-mouth chicken dish we had at Chelsea’s Kitchen, canned green peas.

SO, it is now a joke with us – and Irish Veg is either cabbage or canned green peas. The peas work better with this dish.
