I remember those peas.   According to wiki:

"Its name 'marrowfat' was coined around 1730 from marrow and fat.[5] Another 
source says the peas were named because people wanted plump (fat) peas of the 
Maro variety, a Japanese variety introduced to the UK 100 years ago, predating 
the introduction of the Maro pea by almost two centuries.[6][7]"

Often used to make "mushy pea pies."  HUGE carb load.   There is a very famous 
food truck near Woolloomooloo wharf in Sydney called "Harry's Café De Wheels."
Marnie and I stayed near there when I had a talk to give at the GRS meeting in 
Oz.   We had those concoctions for dinner.  Pretty good but don't pine for 
another just yet.
One celebrity had those mushy pea pies flown to their party in the US.  Hmmmm.
