Mushy Peas

The genius in mushy peas is that they mash boiled peas with copious amounts of salt, creating a delicious (though not necessarily beautiful) heap of green mush. Piled on top of a meat pie alongside a scoop of mashed potatoes (with a sprinkle of gravy for good measure), you've got yourself Hannah's Tiger - easy to scarf down in all of its starchy goodness.

Hannah's Pies in Sydney is not so much a shop as it is a counter where people stand around inhaling pies. Not glamorous, but totally delicious.
