Peas
Hitler was in later life a vegetarian [true].
After descent into Hell, his first meal was fish and chips.
He realised that having to eat fish was a mere foretaste of the red-hot pitchfork-in-the-fundament torment to come, so he called the Devil and said “At least let me have some peas”.
The Devil replied “Certainly not; there is no peas for the wicked”

It would have to use turnips instead of peas I think...

I've driven past that many times and had a wry smile - nice t get a bit of background information (and find out that it's called the Chalfont Viaduct).

All very small beer and parochial: IBM Corporation's motto used to be World Peas through World Trade (the legend that confronted visitors to their HQ on Madison Avenue, NY from 1938 until the building was knocked down and replaced by the present 'wedge' in 1983)
