Eh, I disagree green peas are mid and too starchy. It is green vegetable for people who hate veggies. A dish is never improved/ruined by green peas, it is just kinda there to make things green and looks somewhat healthy. In my opinion, instead of green peas you might as well buy actual leafy veggies like broccoli or broccolini, or substitute it with edamame.
The thing about peas is that if you have them when they're in season they're crisp, and flavorful, and heavenly. Rest of the year/frozen/canned? Mealy bland bs.
I usually just like them as a last minute addition to a meal to green it up a bit, so damn you got me. But come on they can be sooo good if used judiciously in a well crafted meal. To completely write them off like the rest of this slop is going too far!
