Mangetout is the french for eat it whole.<br />The main difference from the other type of peas is the lack of the fyber in the pods, and a much thicker parchment layer.<br /><br />Have funSteelangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528699819068501762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-6874970491043725012008-02-04T23:29:00.000+00:002008-02-04T23:29:00.000+00:00Yeah, go for it!

Pea terminology is a bit ambiguous and I'm not sure if there is a definitive word for these different types! When I talk about mangetout types, I mean the ones with wide flat pods - what Americans call snow peas. Sugarsnaps are the ones that have small fleshy pods and tend to be eaten when the peas have already started to swell a bit. I think when you buy them in supermarkets they're usually called sugarsnaps, but Americans call them snap peas.Rebsie Fairholmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811733792196954188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-55338519435709680582008-02-04T09:40:00.000+00:002008-02-04T09:40:00.000+00:00Rebsie, do you distinguish between sugar snap and ...Rebsie, do you distinguish between sugar snap and mangetout peas? I think of the terms as interchangeable or maybe not? Is the sugar snap a sheller as well as being eaten in the pod?<BR/>JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-60854523874104739882008-02-04T02:26:00.000+00:002008-02-04T02:26:00.000+00:00Wow, this is fascinating.
