Marrowfat peas are a variety of green pea that is dried on the bush and harvested to make mushy peas and wasabi peas. The word was coined around 1730. There is no record as to why someone named them after the fat found inside a bone. Maybe it just looked that way to a lot of people, or more probably it was cooked with marrow fat at one time.
