SC - Pea soup sugar peas question

[LYN M PARKINSON]

Pontormo, Jacopo. _Diario_, the diary of the painter, quotes him as
saying that he had fresh, young peas for dinner.  The bibliography did
not give any publication information, and is in Italian.  Furthermore,
this is late period, which I know you think is 'scribal error', Ras, but
within our total period people did begin to eat green peas that were not
dried or mush.  These can work for a late feast, Italian in theme,
French, according to the quotes people put up earlier, and possibly other
cultures as well.
