Thank you, I read up on growing winter peas & it seems the vine tips are in as much demand as the pods. In stir- fry & the like. But this is the first dish that I have found to use the tips in. The added culture of a dish from another country is a bonus.

I think in Europe snow peas are called Mangetout. Correct me if i'm wrong.

As always you are right, Glenn. My reseach says that Mangetout or Mange tout is French for "eat all". That the name apply to snow peas & to snap peas. Thank you for short European trip, Glenn.
