The local cops have the perp surrounded on his [del]stoop[/del] veranda. He reaches toward his back pocket and gets sprayed with 67 bullets. He was pulling out his wallet but “We saw a flash! We thought it was a pea shooter!”

Mrs. PLant has just returned from New Yawk. I shall annoy her with this most excellent recipe.
Thanks.
With this story, you have become one of the gods of the Straight Dope. (I guess you have been one for a while, but as I’m a (non-incest) relative newcomer, I’m seeing it for the first time. ) Thank you.

As a huge NASCAR fan living in the NASCARless Northwest, I could never imagine such a thing.
Elvis sang, “There will be peas in the valley for meeee someday …”
Do they have valleys in Alabama?
Damn, this thread made me hungry.

He probably enjoys a good meal of fresh-picked peas, corn bread, mashed potatoes, green beans and a slab of Vidalia onion whenever he can. So pea theft resonates with him.

… as they search them for other contraband, like okra or (depending on how hard-core the thieves were) maybe even yams.

Might have even cooked them up first and served them with some fried squash and zucchini.[…]

Is everyone in the South a vegetarian?
Well, most of those vegetables will have some sorta fatback or bacon in them.
Mmmm…yellow squash sauteed in bacon and onions…food of the gods.
I can’t wait to move to the country and make friends (people that bring me food)
No joke, my Grandmother has a Food Fairy. She comes home to food in her fridge all the time. Veggies on the counter, casserole in the fridge…you name it.

No way. If a pea got the chance it would eat you and everyone you care about.
Down with peas. Napalm those suckers back to the Stone Age.

Today the SDMB, tomorrow the WORLD!
Randy Seltzer: The South was poor for a long, long, long time, until sometime around last Tuesday. Because of that, people grew up eating fairly cheap food, and the cheapest food was what you could grow yourself. Thus, a lot of vegetables.
But no, vegetarianism isn’t a thriving lifestyle choice down here. I seriously doubt there’s a pig, cow or chicken that sleeps well at night in this area.
Tully Mars: Alabama is eat up with hills, valleys and ridges, at least until you get down close to the coastline/Wiregrass area. Then it’s mostly flat.

ETA: I look forward to the match-up between Sauron and Master Wang-Ka. Writing such as theirs is one of the things that makes this board THE place to be.

Somebody (ivylass, maybe?) suggested once that Master Wang-Ka, Scylla, Sampiro and myself have some sort of storytelling contest. I responded that I’d cheerfully take fourth-place in that competition and be happy. Those guys have a gift … I have pea stories.
Thank you for the compliment. I like to write, and this place gives me an outlet I don’t have elsewhere.

Don’t forget your reports of encounters with planetary royalty.
Would we need to get mod/admin approval before starting an on-board storytelling competition? If it makes any difference, I visualize the entry thread as being appropriate for CS – creative arts and all that – with an announcement & discussion thread here in MPSIMS.

If you actually read the recipes for that stuff, you’d realize it’s at least half pork.

That’s all we are saying.
And when caught, didn’t the perp exclaim “Peas release me! Let me go!”
I luuuuuurrrrrrveee me some fresh peas. They is good enough to eat right out of the pod. Sweeeeeeet!! And for some reason, I never see them in the supermarkets here.

Blackeyed or field. Green peas are an abomination.
