"They'll turn to mush perfectly adequately when they're hot," Snape replied, though his reassuring tone of voice was contradicted by the scowl he directed at the can. "The tinned sort isn't as nice as proper mushy peas," he muttered under his breath, before conceding, "but those require covering the dried marrowfat peas in boiling water and sodium bicarbonate and leaving them to soak overnight, and it's a bit too late for that." He gave Al a stern stare, "And no, you're not re-scheduling this dinner just so you can soak peas!"
