Aren't petite pois and frozen peas the same thing? When my parents lived in Canada, and of course, didn't speak French, the joke was Petty paws when my mom bought petite pois....

:LOL: Baby peas, CWS. I love the frozen petite pois, but the regular full grown frozen peas are too starchy for me and have a totally different texture.

Yup, feel the same way! I always buy the petite pois and my hubby always buys the regular ones. Even organic peas are not the same as the babies.
 
They are frozen, but they taste like fresh when steamed. I find such a difference between the frozen peas and the frozen petite pois/baby peas!

I don't think I have ever seen frozen petits pois. I'll have to look for them. I have seen the canned ones, but I don't eat khaki coloured peas. ;)

So do I. I can't digest the skins on regular size peas. No problem with petite. :yum:
 
I don't think I have ever seen Birdseye in Canada. I just googled and got stuff about birds and eyes and food for birds.
TL, Green Giant has them as do the house brands "Western Family" (I use and love them!) and "President's Choice". They are usually right beside the regular frozen peas and you have to be careful.

Thanks LP. I'll look for President's Choice first, then Green Giant. I don't think we get Western Family here in the East. :rolleyes:

Western Family I just realized is a BC/Alberta Brand sold in Price Smart, Save-On Foods, Super Value and Overwaitea (all owned by the Jim Pattison Group).

I know Safeway have them too but rarely go there. I happen to like the store brands better than Green Giant, and they are cheaper - go figure!
 
Sometimes we Americans forget that Canada is not a part of the United States. They make their own products, and don't always import ours. And sometimes their products are superior to ours. :)
 
We have Western Family around here, too. It's not that I forget Canadians might not be able to get some brands, I just don't know what brands they do have. I named the Brand I bought.

As for Clarence Birdseye, since he was the one that really got the whole freezing thing down for retail, you would figure his products would be widely recognized.
