Have you ever had peas that fulfill her three requirements: Very green, freshly gathered, shelled at the last moment? I wonder how much better they can be than the best peas I've had. I quite like good peas, but without having had fresh ones, I wonder how much better they might be!

Lovely writing in this essay. Peas are not something that usually make my mouth water. "Delicate messengers to our palates from the kind earth mother."
Fresh peas are unbeatable. They're one of those things like a sweet peach or a perfect mango where you just can't believe anything that amazing — such concentrated ecstasy! — can spring from the ground.
I agree. Peas with butter and salt. I can make a whole meal of them.
