While broccoli's impeccable tree imitation instantly impresses admirers, the split pea wins hearts by hiding and slowly unclothing its inner edibles. Today's Groupon gets you $10 worth of Split Pea Seduction's fresh lunchtime takeout for $5. The daily changing selection of hot soups, crisp salads, flaky crostatas, and properly fastened sandwiches on Split Pea's menu invite appetites to a garden bounty.
Split Pea's chefs choose the freshest produce from small farms every day to create eclectic plates such as chicken and rice with avocado soup (12 oz. for $4.75). Try a roasted cauliflower crostata (an open-faced sweet or savory pastry baked golden-brown) with shaved fennel and parmesan ($6.99). Salads such as a baby spinach bowl (with roasted yams, peanuts, and fresh mozzarella in a rice-wine vinaigrette, $5.99 for a small) or mixed greens with blood oranges, roasted almonds, and blue cheese in a tarragon and fennel vinaigrette ($5.99 for a small) satisfy any fresh-leaf craving and some forms of coryza. Split Pea's sandwich creations include roasted natural chicken with red slaw, aioli, and pickled cukes on a house bun ($5.99). Plus, everything can be custom combined; get a 12-ounce soup and half a crostata for $8.50 or sandwich and 16-ounce soup for $11.50.
Sign up for daily Split Pea emails and wait for the menu that suits your fancy or fancy automobile. Pre-orders at Split Pea are accepted and encouraged, so call ahead and swing by to pick up your takeout. Or eat at Split Pea's small lunch counter, with artsy photos on the walls and a glass case displaying the day's delicious treats. Tell your belly to keep its eyes peeled and its peas shucked.

Reviews

The SF Weekly says:
  • Split Pea Seduction offers all kinds of combinations (whole crostatas or halves with soup or salad), nicely packed to go, or you can consume them on the spot...Atop the glass-fronted case displaying the long crostatas are jars full of such just-baked treats as blueberry scones, small buttermilk cakes topped with whipped cream and chopped plums, and cookies, including, perhaps, a fragrant anise butter cookie, a dense chocolate chew, or an old-fashioned coconut thumbprint filled with housemade jam. – Meredith Brody
More than 110 Yelpers and five Sustain Lane users give Split Pea Seduction four stars, while three out of three Urbanspooners like it:
  • ..this oasis of delicious hope and promise serves up hot oven baked crostatas, nutritious soups, fresh lettuce salads, and yummy cookies from a daily revolving menu...Delicious, nutritious, and satisfying, I recommend stoppong [sic] in for a high quality meal or snack. – Richard Clingerman, Urbanspoon
  • It's a great new green (super green as in local, organic, seasonal) lunch spot...I will be back to try everything. – Netty L., Sustain Lane
  • The crostata was INSANE - buttery, gooey, so savory and delicious. The salad was super fresh and crunchy and the flavors really complimented each other. It was the most satisfying lunch I've had in a loooong time if not ever. – March S., Yelp

Split the Difference

Splitting is, of course, only one of the many ways to enjoy peas. You can also:
  • Mash them into a paste for onstage dining during your avant-garde one-man show: Big Baby, Broken Dreams.
  • Fire them into your mouth using one of those plastic guns from the interactive board game Crossfire.
  • Kids left home alone can freeze their peas and scatter them about the floor to make burglars slip and fall, transforming a would-be terrifying home invasion by two desperate and violent strangers into a Christmastime romp for the whole family to enjoy.
  • Use a needle to string your peas on a thread of mint dental floss and let it dry overnight to make a garbage gift from the heart.
  • When the babysitter dozes off, place a pea into each of her nostrils and then jump on her stomach to send them rocketing across the room. When she arises to scold you, remind her that you caught her sleeping on the job. This mutually assured destruction will earn you her respect as a frenemy for life, and she'll help you procure cool grown-up items such as shaving cream and lottery tickets.
