do frozen peas and pearl onions exist anymore?

[Kali]

some people do Brussels sprouts, some do green bean casserole, there are plenty of choices out there but my family tradition for T-day is peas with pearl onions.

it has been years since I have seen them together in the same package, at least at my local Safeway. for many years for months after T-day, I have had a half bag of frozen pearl onions leftover in the freezer until I remember to throw them in a stew or something to get rid of them.

why do they conspire to make my life so hard?

1. Sounds delicious.

2. I see pearl onions

in the produce dept most stores I visit, bagged like reg onions ...
frozen peas? I don’t look for them ..

✌🏻

3. Ya know, I haven't seen that in ages. For the last couple of years, I had trouble finding

mincemeat to make a mincemeat pie. This year, I found Nonesuch brand in a glass jar, all ready to plop into the piecrust. Works for me! I can't be the only person making a mincemeat pie. Well, maybe I COULD be . . . I am an old fart.

5. I love mincemeat. Old fart here 😂

6. Same here, but I prefer to make my own.

[Nay]

24. I used to sorta make my own, using that box of dried mincemeat -- cook in apple juice, add

chopped apples, etc., but I haven't seen the boxed stuff for years. I have never made it from absolute scratch. Hubby is pleased with any kind of mincemeat pie, so I'm happy, too. Now, if I'm making an apple pie, that's all from scratch. And fabulous.

10. Husband would eat it

But not me. Pumpkin for T-day, pecan for Xmas.

4. yes

you have to buy a bag each of pearl onions and peas and make the white sauce yourself.

[Kali]

11. I just do butter, not creamed.

And the ratio is off, would need 2 or 3 bags of peas for one of onions.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

25. Agree with you about the peas ratio.

Butter peas n pearls is good too. I like them both ways.

7. Trader Joe's carries bags of fresh English peas

They must be a staple here in the SOuth. Frozen peas and pearl onions are always in the freezer at Kogers. Lots of people here eat creamed onions also.

[Kali]

12. So they still exist.

Good to know!

[Laffy Kat]

8. Yes, I know for sure they do.

I was looking for frozen peas and carrots a couple of weeks ago and picked up a package of peas and pearl onions by mistake and put it right back. I can't remember the brand, unfortunately.

[Kali]

14. Ok

They still exist. May need to talk to customer service.

[Laffy Kat]

15. Even if the store doesn't carry them, they may special order for you.

Not sure you'd have them in time for TG, however.

[Kali]

18. Yeah, I'm just first world whining.

Easy to get both in seperate bags.

[femmocrat]

9. I haven't seen them in years.

I used to buy them every year for Thanksgiving too.

[Kali]

16. I'm not the only one!

[samnsara]

13. my grand mother used to serve creamed peas and onions as just a normal dinner side dish...

...green bean casserole isnt even allowed in my house.. and i will eat anything with brussel sprouts!

[Kali]

17. not creamed

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Green Giant makes them.

21. oooo didn't even think of there

I don't buy much from there, and very rarely groceries other than canned fish and the green cans of el pato since Safeway stopped carrying them. those are on the permanent list for people who go in there, I mostly only go in the spring to the garden section
