Ionise peas
This idea does not in any way claim to be realistic or sensible. | |
I often find that peas, especially when they are the last on the plate,
are *incredibly* difficult to scoop up with a fork or spoon. To rectify
this what I suggest is to positively ionise the peas, and negatively
ionise
the spoon, so the they are attracted to one another.
This could be achieved
either by growing the peas in extremely iron-
rich soil, then positively charging the metal, or doping the peas with
Boron [or similar], to create P-type peas.
Mushy Peas
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushy_peas
Like a bad horror movie, peas don't die when you smoosh them... They join together to form a monstrous creature that the insane call food. [Jinbish, May 05 2009]
wasabi peas

I prefer them crunchy and spicy [jaksplat, May 05 2009]

"I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life, It makes the peas taste funny, But it keeps them on my knife ..." |
|
| |
[+] Magnificently impractical. |
|
| |
I abhor peas. I would like to take my fork and
smoosh every last one of 'em. Flat. Smash. Done.
There. - (sorry) |
|
| |
This is just what I need to rectify my diet [+] |
|
| |
No good for getting children to eat theirs though. They'd have too much fun watching the positively charged peas chase each other round the plate. [+] |
|
| |
All food should be ionised except salt and vinegar. Once again, i'm reminded wistfully of the Pina Collider.
Actually, i would like to try this, though i´m not sure peas are the best choice. |
|
| |
You do have fingers, don't you? |
|
| |
You could, maybe, use your knife and fork simultaneously
(one in each hand) rather than consecutively. We've tried it
here and it seems like it might work. However, I am
tempted to give a [+] anyway. |

laughing out loud at my dear friend blissy. |
|
| |
still laughing but amazed there is a category for peas! |
|
| |
oops they've attached themselves to my fillings... |
|
| |
[gisho], that's the exact thing that came to my mind on reading this title as well. |
|
| |
[Bliss] If you negatively ionise the peas too, they run away from your spoon... |
|
| |
Oh nice...then I'd have evil bastards running amok
thru my kitchen. And then I'd step on them and
fall. Oh no...no no no. They should be dealt with
swiftly and while they are still being held captive. |
|
| |
SMOOSH THEM DEAD. SMASH EM TO OBLIVION
BEFORE YOUR MOTHER FORCES THEM DOWN YOUR
POOR LIL INFANT THROAT. (not that my mother
would ever have done that!!!) |
|
| |
[bliss], you'll need more than smooshing to kill off peas. |
|
| |
Ahhh, mushy peas. Far from brother Jinbish's assertions to the contrary, mushy peas cater to a broad congregation of smooshed pea enthusiasts - with the appropriate condiments, the mushy pea can be a gastronomic keystone about which an otherwise meagre plate of fish and chips can span across even the most vertiginous culinary abyss. |
|
| |
Perhaps the purée de pois presents us with an altogether more straightforward way to magnetise the peas: simply enmush said peas and sprinkle in some Old Ma Cattermole's Gradely Salted Iron Filings (pre-magnetised), such that the green paste clings efficaciously to whatever cuttles you have at your disposal. |
|
| |
Could you not mush them, mix in some iron and reconstitute them as peas? |
|
| |
No, [nineteen], for 2 reasons:
1 - they would taste icky
2 - that is way too practical |
|
| |
+ a bun to counteract [blissmiss]'s pea violence!! and also because it is a great idea!
btw- mushy peas are just like pea soup! |
|
| |
I like the potential an electromegnetic plate and charged peas would present for levitating food. |
|
| |
Place a negatively ionised plate of mashed potato above the
positively ionised peas [on the positively ionised plate] |
|
| |
What [gisho] said.
Minus the poem part I've never heard before. Is it from a nursery rhyme? |
|
| |
// I'm reminded of the plate of peas // |
|
| |
Never before have those seven words appeared consecutively. |
|
| |
"Don't drink that, it's had a troll washed in it" is a better candidate in my book. |
|
| |
//Never before have those seven words appeared
consecutively.// |
|
| |
Oh yes they have. Whilst on my therapist couch
and answering certain childhood questions. |
|
| |
<leans back in chair>So blissmiss, you feel threatened by appeasement ?</lbic> (I think that's the process of making mushy peas, but I can't be sure) |
|
| |
"Don't drink that, it's had a troll washed in it" |
|
| |
You know those peas that fall off the plate and roll away while you're chasing them around? |
|
| |
I luvvvv mushy peas.... + |
|
| |
You know those peas that just lie there and look dead?
They're restin' peas. |
|
| |
You can take his peas but you really don't want her peas. |
|
| |
Wasabi peas are nice, but wasabi peanuts are even better |
