Have any of you heard of such a substance as "pease pudding"? Gold star if you have, but i seriously doubt it.
It comes from the North East of England where im born and bred. Its something ive introduced many a person to and no-one has so far disliked it.
Ive only ever bought it in shops/butchers, but googling it gets a few recipes.
This one suggests cooking it with bacon and the other ham, which as far as im aware is a new one on me - i always assumed it was just split peas and water.
Experiment until you get a good recipe for your own tastes.
For sandwiches, it works with just about anything. Where it comes into its own is bringing out flavours of meat, especially ham. Its also great with the classic salad sandwich also. It tastes good on its own, though i usually layer it onto ham for a really simple, but totally tasteful sanga.
Try it, you WILL like it. And if you dont, you made it wrong! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Btw, this is making me think of actually doing my 365 sandwich challenge. A full year where i only eat sandwiches and have to have a new one each day to force me to experiment. Hmm...
