Tonights challenge is :?: Frozen Green Peas :?: :roll:

Bobby Flay and Chef Morou (what a cutie! :wink: )

Peas, I mean I like peas but for me, they become less appetizing after the third bite. Would be interesting to see the judges reactions. Who's the first to make split pea soup, I wonder. :?

[peachexploration]

Okay, the interesting on the menu so far:
Chef Morou
Green Pea Popsicles dipped in chocolate?
Green Pea Tapioca Pudding
Peas Benjas (sp) with powdered sugar

Chef Flay
ding! ding! ding! Pea soup on the menu :P

I'm really surprised they even liked it. It was interesting to watch their faces as they tried it. :)

On my holiday in the Maldives, i went to a beautiful restaurant and had an amazing salmon dish which was served with mashed peas...liked mashed potato...but made from green peas - amazing! Really flavoursome.

Sorry - your post just made me remember it....

[peachexploration]

That dish actually sounds good Prae. :D I love fish. Especially, salmon. Peas are actually a good combination with seafood if prepared well. :) Chef Flay actually made a pea soup with lobster like last that looked quite tasty. :)
