Re: Overrated food
A time and place for them Moira, I enjoy them with fish and chips at the seaside, but don’t have them at any other time. Known locally as Yorkshire caviar!

I think we might have been grateful for them in the sparse days of winter if there was little else and we had no means to get anything else. Likewise today if it was them or nothing. They are quite nourishing.
I am so very fortunate never to have to have been glad of them. If any gets near lovely fish and chips it is carefully scraped off .
That would probably be my dinner from hell, Suffs . Swimming in salty juice to finish it off?

Re: Overrated food
I like mushy peas occasionally, but here in the south you get a tiny little ramekin, a sauce quantity not a veg quantity.
Now that really is is pointless

Re: Overrated food
i keep a couple of tins of mushy peas in the cupboard, usually. they aren't eaten as they are but as a very quick pea soup (with additions).
i last had peas pudding as a child...
it never occurred to inflict it on my family - i love them!

You can keep the doughnuts, cakes, brioche, sweet pancakes, chocolate icecream, mushy peas, peas pudding and tomato sauce.
I have never thought of myself as a fussy eater, till I read this thread!!

Re: Overrated food
I didn't think I was until I joined the various boards we've been on either! Most of the things I like least are things we had at home when I was very young. My trouble with pease pudding, split pea soup etc is that I really hate the texture of mashed peas. Marrowfat particularly but even garden peas. When you see a nice menu and it has crushed peas ...why?!

Re: Overrated food
Agree about the mushy peas, Moira. Vastly over-rated
A bit like jellied eels.

Hold on!
Aside from eels, I like pulses in all their forms. I don't think I'd eaten mushy peas until a few years ago but pease pudding and pea soup were very much staples of my childhood and something I still make today. A Goddaughter lives in Stourport and the local chippy does pea fritters. We've always got a tin or two of mushy peas in the cupboard now.

Proper mushies have to be done with dried/soaked peas - it's trad. in Lancashire folks - so woebetide (sp ?!?!) & all that......!!
I had never had them until I met The Lushly......wasn't - & still not a huge fan - himself luvs 'em - especially with pies - vinegar has to be involved....!
Eels..?!?! smoked ? try stoping me

Re: Overrated food
It's very Derbyshire to serve mushy peas with mint sauce.
As a native Lancastrian, married to a Derbeian I consider it sacrilege.

Re: Overrated food
I love mushy peas (properly made or not), and I love pease pudding (both canned and fresh). As a child, we also had it served hot too. And also, although I rarely get to have them, is it black peas? From Saddleworth area? Lovely.

I was taught to do that by a local friend in Whitby, so Yorkshire too, I was initially surprised by mint sauce on tables in a chippy
I absolutely love them - and I’m not a huge fan of smoked food in general, though fishy might be the exceptionLusciouslush wrote:Eels..?!?! smoked ? try stoping me

Smoked eels are absolutely another thing. Lovely. But jellied? Nooooo!
