  2. Here you bring me again another round of memories. Those I eat when growing up. I have also heard that the peas are very good for health and thats why our ancestors stayed without illness for a long time. Please pass me a plate of rice so that I can pour a generous amount of this peas curry to satisfy my appetite.
