Can anyone give me the lowdown on pease pudding?
I have seen the thread on stew and hards, which is what brought me to the forum, and the one on mushy peas where pease pudding is mentioned. But as I remember, pease pudding is coloured something like peanut butter which means it must be comsiderably different to mushy peas. Or is my memory in error?

It is made with split peas. Soak them overnight and boil them in a pan with ham bone/bacon scraps and an onion (for flavour). Boil them for a couple of hours and then drain them (when soft). Mash them up as fine as possible and then add some butter and an egg and what ever takes your fancy in the way of seasoning. Wrap the whole lot in a cloth and boil again for another half hour. Empty out the peas and eat the cloth...no, no, no..throw the cloth away and eat the peas.

Or buy a tin of pease pudding from Morrisons and a packet of Mr Brains faggots, delicious.....

I'm reading a novel set in the 1930's and they have mentioned 'cut-and-come-again cake', does anyone know what that is?

Thanks for that, Catgate.
As for Morrison's, I would not trust it to be anything like the real thing. Have you seen supermarket haggis? It looks more like deer droppings. Bacon is more water than meat. Cheese is, I think, made of plastic. Surely though, they can't go wrong with split peas?

You will probably find Morrisons split peas are imported from somewhere. Probably from the far east and they will more than likely be split the opposite way .

Is it better hot or cold? In the pot nine days old means it's relatively new on the shelf, by today's standards.

Proper pease pudding or pea soup is better after re-heating at least once. I make a batch every year and eat my way through it. That reminds me, last year's crop needs eating up........ That lot is 9 months old.

That is my least favourite poem Tripps....read on and you'll see why...a load of old codswallop! It's one of Deadly's favourites....opposites attract.

Belle, sorry - I didn't put the quote there, it was on the end of the recipe. I have not read the full version, but I will now. I think the first two lines work Ok though. I'm a great one for standing and staring!

Tripps....thanks for the recipe.
As for standing and staring, I prefer to sit and stare - in the form of sitting in a cafe and watching the world go by....... It's fun (and sometimes an 'eye opener') to listen to the conversations going on around you, and watch people interacting with their partners / family / friends etc as they walk by.
