Sharon - Would the 'gray peas' be what are currently known as 'Austrian Field Peas' and commonly available wherever cover crops are sold? -Allan
In the "The Oxford/Penguin Companion to Food" (ed. by Alan
Davidson) in the section on peas it says that the
common peas in Europe up to the 16th century were "field peas", also
known as "grey peas", and that the "garden peas", the green peas we
eat today, were not commonly grown until the 16th century.
Does anyone know about the differences in these peas and any sources for the
grey peas?
