Peas.
Unless one is adding a sauce or using them as an ingredient in a larger dish, one doesn't think in terms of elaborate preparation.
Not so with the Victorians.
In fact, the recipe I'm sharing tonight (the one reputedly used at John and Bryony Simons' wedding reception), calls for the use of a certain ingredient if the peas are "old."
This site has a nice explanation of that ingredient: https://www.cooksinfo.com/saleratus.
