Pea and peapod shortage and scarcity

Due to severe drought in England, chinese peapods or snow peas are out of stock in many restaurants in areas
including mine.This is my favorite Chinese vegetable and I have
eaten it with beef, chicken, shrimp and alone, and is lifelong habit. So I am astonished that it is a scarce
item now. Peapods do not taste like peas. The tiny peas are crunchy, not juicy like sweet peas, that I hate.
You heard the expression 3 peas in a pod? Exactly. Not the same flavor in stores. They are very perishable and expensive
I am told by Chinese owners.
So scarcity in some nations and most of US. A culinary emergency!!
 

snow peas are nice in a stir fry.

haven't noticed any shortage - but I'm sure they would be grown here in Australia so droughts in England wouldn't affect us.
