I know that most of the world has a totally different attitude towards food than we do. When we lived in China, our nanny would often eat my boys' leftovers rather than let it go to waste. She lived through a famine in the 70's and during that time not one grain of rice was ever left in her bowl.
This is an interesting topic and not one that I've give much thought to before. I'd like to think that since the pea-box was on a farm, they won't waste the peas. Hopefully they grew the peas themselves and will compost them when the tourist season is over. That's just hopeful conjecture though, I don't know if that's really what they do.
