Default Pea seeds

I usually save some of my peas for seed but this year my brother ate all
the peas I grew. Don't ask..we've had words.
Anyway I got some supermarket peas and am drying them out to try and will
see how they go next year.
Plan B is using the pea seeds I still have from 2014.

Has anyone ever grown supermarket peas? I will give them a go if they dry
out OK, looking like they will.



I have to ask Why? Why not buy some seed peas from a seed merchant? That
way you get a named variety with known qualities, eg we grow Early Onward
because it does well for us.

I don't know why, I just fancy giving them a go. To see what happens. I
will of course sow my own peas too so it won't be a disaster. It's an
experiment and I just wondered if anyone had done it before.
In theory, they should do well.
(if my brother doesn't eat them before I can.)
