How about a beef curry pie topped with mashed potato, mushy peas and gravy?

Sounds suspiciously like a meat pie floater

Meat pie, upside down in a bowl of thick pea soup topped with ketchup.

Australians eat them apparently. No suprise there then.

Mashed potato = good
Gravy = OK

Mushy peas = tool of Satan

I'd just like to make it clear that I am not a pea-ist. Some of my best friends are peas. Just hate mushy ones.

WSS

Mushy peas came to me late in life; once I had moved back oop North to West Yorkshire.

It's one of those things that doesn't grow so well darn sarf, the mushy pea plant.

I'm not interested in your holiday pictures
