On the popping of peas

We recently watched a movie entitled "Murder by Decree". In which Sherlock Holmes and Watson track Jack the Ripper. At one point Watson proclaims that he likes to eat peas whole, as he enjoys the way that they pop in his mouth.
Gack. I couldn't disagree more. In fact, apart from Pop-Rocks, I can't stand it when food pops in my mouth. Case in point: green beans. I love them, but as soon as I become aware of the actual 'bean' popping in my munching mandible, I am through.
I suspect that this is the reason why I gave up eating baby gerbils.
