Pease Pudding

[StevieB100]

Is it just a Northern thing ?

Spoke to friends down Essex way yesterday and they turning their noses up just at the thought of it when I told them what it was.
I just put a ham and bag of split peas in the slow cooker, and made me wonder .... how far down the country is it a viable/known food ?

I’m in Kent , it’s known but for most of us it’s one of those tinned products that you pick up at the supermarket then quickly put back down again once you remember what it tasted like as a kid ha ha

I remember my ex raving on about peas pudding, which I'd never heard of. Her family was from Lancashire mine Wales.
She made it and I was completely underwhelmed...

Don't really know what it is and never had it but here's a little ditty from my youth I've never forgotten!

I buy it in a can but not many shops down my way sell it now, Sainsbury's sell it though.

Oh no ... never out of a tin.
Its so easy to make if you do like it.

It's known all over, it's just that it's popularity has waned over the years and the North East seems to have hung on to it the longest.

My missus is from the East End of London and she says it was a big thing growing up there, still loves it today. Personally I'm not a fan though.

I can eat please pudding straight out of the tub , love the stuff . Plastic container stored in the fridge . I never knew that it. came in tins.

Had a work college from Sheffield, we had a pub lunch, and he had not seen ham, egg and chips local to him.
I had assumed it was just one of those UK wide pub meals, not a southern thing (?).

I've not had pease pudding for ages, but have always been partial to thick pea and ham soup.

Thanks, edited, where is autocorrect when I need it.
--added--
That would need quite a bit of cornflower to thicken up, I assume.

Love it. I have not eaten nor made it for years though.

Some places charge up to £2.00 for a pot of Durham Foods Pease Pudding, Aldi normally have it in the fridge for less than 60p.

Not so fond of it now but remember having it as a kid in the 60’s when we lived in Staines, Middx.

(Not Surrey, it’s Middx and certainly not Staines-on-Thames )

Now live in Shropshire and not ever heard it mentioned .

 

[Greg105]

I love it - especially in a Savaloy Dip

 

[Matt@Nearfield]

I'm not sure it's terribly Hampshire I'm afraid

My ex was a geordie first time I went to her parents', I was offered something to eat, i will have a ham butty please.
Butty came out, first bite; they saw my face, total disgust on it... Do you not like the pease pudding? Erm, no! Thought it would be rude to say it tastes like Sh*t.
