Talk:Snap pea

Number of peas per pod
I'm eating snap peas right now, there seem to be more than 3-5 peas per pod, the pod I just ate had nine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.196.57 (talk) 03:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Question
What chemical gives these peas their sweet taste?

Image
In the first sentence of this article, snap peas are distinguished from snow peas by their rounded pods, yet the picture is clearly that of a flat-pod pea... Which is correct? FusionKnight (talk) 16:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it should say curved (i.e. rather than straight). I've changed it so we'll see whether someone more knowledgable comes along to fix it better.--Shantavira|feed me 12:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Changed my mind. I think the photo simply shows immature ones.--Shantavira|feed me 12:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Isn't it possible that the picture is of snow peas and not snap peas? Whether they're "immature" snap peas or not snap peas at all, it seems like this isn't a good choice of picture. 66.215.59.212 (talk) 17:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I find the article a bit confusing - as a resident of Britain, I have always heard mange-tout described as the ones with the flat pod, and sugar snap peas as the ones with the more curved pod. I definitely wouldn't think of the two names as interchangeable. 81.102.34.92 (talk) 18:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree, thepicture doesn't look like mange tout at all. it looks like sugar snap peas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.28.148 (talk) 04:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Same here, I think mange-touts are snow peas aren't they? This should be changed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.13.12.170 (talk) 20:17, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree - here in the United Kingdom, mange-tout refers to the legume called a snow pea by Americans. DWaterson (talk) 19:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I redirected mangetout to the snow pea article as they are equivalent. This article is about the snap pea so the image is now correct for this article. Recent Runes (talk) 21:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

 * As both snow pea and snap pea are given the same latin name, surely there should be only article. Of more concern is the fact that the American view is - once again - assumed to be the World view. In most English-speaking countries of the world, this vegetable is known as mange-tout (or mange tout or mangetout) - from the French for "eat all". The term mange-tout should be the senior headline with snow pea and snap pea being subordinate.

Perhaps the best way to title the article is to use the Latin name (for example, look at the article headed "Vicia faba" - which looks after "fava beans" for Americans and "broad beans" for most other English-speaking countries. --621PWC (talk) 16:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Apperence in a movie
What relevance is the part that is supposedly seen in the movie Hangover? Is is somehow mentioned that it is a snap pea, or is it just a joke all together? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.194.159.34 (talk) 08:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No relevance. Removed that section. Plantdrew (talk) 03:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
