Re: Pea Pods
I don't think I've ever had a maggot in a pea pod.

Should have said grub .. used to get them quite a lot when I was little, suppose these days they are grown and protected more in some way.
Seemingly, is a 'Pea Moth' :
Royal Horticultural Society - Gardening Advice: Pea moth
Maybe, with the EU now allowing supermarkets to sell misshapen veg ... could get more 'interesting' vegetables ..

Can remember when i was a kid and dad had turned the bottom of the garden into a veg patch .. he grew spuds, peas, broadbeans and whatever else took his fancy ... Thing was the peas never got to the pot because we used to pick them and eat them ... One day me and my niece were 'helping' supposedly .. and nicking the peapods .. anyway opened it up and didnt look just shoved em in my mouth and there was a crunch ...  i spat it out .. and didnt touch the peapods again for the rest of the summer!!!!

Re: Pea Pods
The allotment man who sells me eggs has had to grow some veg this year because the council told him to.
When I went for eggs last week he gave me four big handfuls of 'peasquads' which got shelled cooked and eaten within the hour - lovely they were too.
