    Missus is away this week and so I was lazy and bought some ridiculously overpriced Taste the difference peas
    "sweet and juicy hand shelled peas"

    washed and ready to cook

    NOT TO BE EATEN RAW

    Any idea why you cant eat them uncooked cos I am baffled

    Me as well

    been doing it for over 40 years and I am still here

    Though these are foreign peas - wonder if there is some chance they were washed in dodgy water or summat

    Probably for the same reason

    That water gets a "best before" date as soon as it goes into a bottle, completely ignoring the fact that it's been percolating through rocks for the last several thousand years!

    My guess is

    ... modern farming methods and the possibleuse of pesticides in so many modern crops.</p>

    If they were organic, like they used to be when we all used to eat 'em straight out of the fields, then perhaps it would be different.</p>

    As Red Rag says....plus

    just a disclaimer, just in case you became ill after.

    Probably ok.....modern pesticides are used in producing salad veg that you eat raw.
