We can now buy marrow fat peas localy, in BC...good in (soups and stews, like beans).

Were/are processed peas in Britain the whole pea plus pod mushed up and then made into pellets.... and then made into mushy peas?

WIKI
"In the United Kingdom, dried, rehydrated and mashed marrowfat peas, known by the public as mushy peas, are popular, originally in the north of England, but now ubiquitously, and especially as an accompaniment to fish and chips or meat pies, particularly in fish and chip shops. Sodium bicarbonate is sometimes added to soften the peas. In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed the pea to be Britain's seventh favourite culinary vegetable.

Processed peas are mature peas which have been dried, soaked and then heat treated (processed) to prevent spoilage—in the same manner as pasteurising. Cooked peas are sometimes sold dried and coated with wasabi, salt, or other spices.

Bioplastics

Bioplastics can be made using pea starch."

Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' became the most expensive artwork sold at auction on Thursday (BST); it went under the hammer for GBP74M/USD120M.

I suggest ye scream and laugh, Weaver!
