British people also have mashed peas as their guacamole-but-not.
And yet if a fancy restaurant does pea puree, people are all over it.
Mushy peas are made from a specific variety (marrowfat) that were selectively bred to be softer and have a nicer texture when pureed. People are just snobby about it, baked beans, and food like it because it's working class food, without being fetishised 'exotic' working class food.
I imagine here in the US people would think pea puree was too much like baby food. Of course, if you've ever tried baby food, some of it is pretty darn good, so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
