Batchelor's Peas, Sheffield - promotional recipe booklet, c1930; colour advert pages
The modern world of peas! The availablity of canned and dried peas was typical of the changes in the early 20th century in terms of the 'convienience' of food for many working households and Batchelor's as a brand is still around. That said the company produced a wide range of tinned vegetables and fruit as seen in these advert pages from the booklet. Carrots, diced in this case, and the inevitable prunes. They are indeed good for you and were seen, as here, as having 'medicinal properties' when you 'struggled to go'.
