Ho Ho Ho Green Giant!

Thinking about peas, I couldn't remember if Green Giant did peas as well as sweetcorn (he's green, therefore he should do!), so researched him.

Discovered possibly the most brilliant thing ever:

'When Pea-Pickers Get Together:  Tennessee Ernie Ford Sings The Green Giant's (And Everybody's) Favourite Folk Songs'.  From 1963 - records like that could only be from that period.  Came across a blog about country music that had a link to download the songs, and they are fantastic.  Beautiful in an awfully twee way.

Allen's Archive of Early and Old Country Music

It's not really relevant, but it is research, and it is WORTH IT.  The children on the record sleeve clearly agree with me.  I like the novelty titles, for example 'How the Jolly Green Giant Found His Song (And Almost Lost His Ho!  Ho!  Ho!)', as The Petits Pois's songs are all novelty with ridiculous names.
