Why don't they count as veg?

Maybe they're regarded as 'ultra-processed'. Like a lot plant-based meals in supermarkets aren't actually any healthier than the thing they're replacing, because they've had the shit kicked out of them by the industrial process.

"Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked overnight in water with baking soda, and then rinsed in fresh water, after which the peas are gathered in a saucepan, covered with water, and brought to a boil, and then simmered until the peas are softened. The mush is seasoned with salt and pepper."

So that's not more or less how they're made for a chippy?

Ideally, I suppose. But maybe they boil them like my Gran used to boil veg - until there's barely any nutrition left in them. And then add artificial colours and preservatives and whatnot. It's like if you make bread at home, then it's reasonably healthy, but it's difficult to buy bread that isn't essentially junk food, because they'll do anything to make the rise process quicker (including throwing in a bunch of sugar).
