I wonder if there is a job where someone splits open just the end of a pea pod and takes out one pea and tastes it and if the pea is sweet and tender the rest of the pod is passed on to the vegetable processing factory or the gourmet restaurant kitchen and if it isn't quite delicious enough - the person gets to eat the rest of the peas in that pod.
Just wondering .........
Hm-m-m-m
When we lived in England we lived close to a pea factory ... you could go and buy a bucket full of peas that were already shelled ... so fresh and tasty. The kitchen smelled like fresh peas for days afterwards because of the blanching and freezing ... after all the sampling of course!

That would be a great job. If the peas were really nice you could say that you weren't sure about them and you just have to have another one to make sure...and then you could say, nope, still debateable, and then eat even more! If I had that job I would. I LOVE peas.

Hello Susan
And so what if the job lasted only a day, right. But what a day! Thanks for the fun.
