Snow Peas are? Sorry Marna, maybe I appear stupid but are Snow Peas something peculiar to the US areas? I am in the UK and I have to admit to not having heard of these, I am intrigued :-)

In response to message posted by Lynda04:

Hi there The pods of snow peas are flat and thin with the bulge of the tiny seed barely visible at prime eating stage. The bright green pods should be turgid and crisp. They contain five to seven seeds and reach a length of two to three inches. The pods of sugar snaps are plump like regular English peas but are sweet and tender, thus eaten whole without being shelled, eaten raw or cooked. The vigorous growing vine is a legume.
