Is it worth mentioning that this is often pronounced "Rice & Pea" in the singular rather than the plural "Peas"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.82.243 (talk) 08:59, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Merge with Rice and beans[edit]

This is the Jamaican name for the more general Rice and beans. Shouldn't this page be merged with that one? Please discuss on the Rice and beans discussion page Rojomoke (talk) 09:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the merge. - Boston (talk) 15:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the merge with appropriate redirect 81.23.54.142 (talk) 04:52, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. 'Rice and beans' is a more generic category then the specific, traditional Caribbean dish. To merge would be to fail to recognise the ingredients, methods and cultural distinctiveness of rice and peas. 86.160.228.56 (talk) 11:51, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

I removed the trivia section rather than tagging it because there was only one entry:

"Peas and rice!" is also used as a euphemism to blasphemy in certain films, e.g. Hot Fuzz, when shown during times when children are expected to be viewers.

I am unconvinced of the wide-spread usage of the term "peas and rice" in this context and therefore it might be better placed on the Hot Fuzz page (if at all). If I am wrong please feel free to put it back leaving a short note of explanation here. --81.23.54.142 (talk) 05:01, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This must be vandalism, right? TheOneOnTheLeft (talk) 07:01, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nowadays and traditionally are conflicting descriptions[edit]

'Nowadays, either kidney beans (red peas) or pigeon peas are being traditionally used'

This sentence doesn't make sense. It is either 'nowadays' or is 'traditionally'. As it happens it is traditionally. Kidney beans - 'peas' - or pigeon peas are, and have traditionally been, the ingredients of Caribbean 'rice and peas'.

Will correct. 86.160.228.56 (talk) 11:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
