This year we grew peas in our garden- we were rather successful and not many peas actually made it into the house- we tended to go out and just pick and eat them straight of the bush-they were so sweet! Towards the end of the life of the bush we picked all the peas and then had to pod them. I remembered we used to do it when we were kids- mum would buy peas from the grocer and we would have to sit around and shell the peas. It tended to be a few for the pot and then a few for the mouth! I got my kids to help so they would understand that peas came from pods, not from the frozen section of the supermarket shelf!
