Are you my brother? I remember one time when I was about 8 I was made to sit at the table alone for ~1.5 hrs until bedtime to avoid eating my sickening cold peas while the sun went down, the lights were turned off and the dishwasher churned. A few years later she found Lesueur canned peas tiny & thin-skinned and less objectionable, and the only kind she served thereafter since it was easier than monitoring our pea-eating.
