   Wil, your image of the Ritz menu/signboard exerts a weird fascination over me.

   What are Hot Peas?

   hot peas are mushy peas in a cup with salt and vinegar

   Are they like green peas? or black-eyed peas? chick peas? My mom used to make black-eyed peas and she’d “season” them on her plate with a teaspoon of vinegar from a jar of hot pickled peppers. I haven’t had them for years, but them was good eatin’.

   Like Sheila, I am enthralled by the sign.

   Do you ever draw food cases filled with pies or cakes? If you do, I want one, please.

   Oh I love this. I am delighted by the blue field with the green, yellow and red wedges in it, under the sign. And I also wonder what “oyster sponge” might be. It sounds like some sort of frenetic contraceptive strategy.

   Absolutely gorgeous, including the “signage”. Your work makes my heart hurt in very good ways.

   the peas are the green ones. yes, they are comfort food in a weird 70s sort of way.

   I’d like to draw food cases – will definitely look into. I have lined up tower blocks, water towers then…

   oyster sponges (I think what you imagine they are, is better)
