When I grew up there were peas in the meals every now and then, of course not as frequent as it seems to be in England. We don't overdo things and we have other vegetables than carrots and peas so we can vary with the accessories..
Most of my friends hated both of those and then they grew up to cook for their children remembering the promise they gave when young, "I will never force my kids to eat carrots and peas" and that is where we are today.
Peas should be a voluntary, by request, accessory and not a requisite
