When I looked up the idiom in TFD, their example usage seemed to reinforce that: two peas in a pod (idiom) very similar; two of a kind : We were two peas in a pod – we liked all the same things, and we did everything together. That said, the definition found in CDO would back you up: like two peas in a pod - very similar, especially in appearance : The twins are like two peas in a pod. | |
