Boiled peas are a comfort food and can be eaten anytime anywhere. Sometimes, peas are eaten raw. Generally, they are cooked until they are nice and soft, or mushy. They can be microwaved, though they generally don't get quite as done. Sometimes, it's good to mix peas with other vegetables, most commonly carrots, or add them to a casserole or soup. Peas go well with most meat and vegetable dishes. They can be difficult to eat for the visually impaired because they slip off of a fork too easily. Use a bowl and spoon.
