Went to a lovely little cafe in our village today, I had a pease pudding and ham sandwich. Delicious. I do love a good pease pudding. My children all think I’m weird and are convinced I’m the only person in the world that likes such a thing!

AIBU or is pease pudding a delicious and enjoyable food stuff?

Pease Pudding and Savaloy is a line in Food, Glorious Food the song they sing at the start of Oliver! So I’ve always assumed it was popular in the south too.

North Eastern working class girl here!
My dm used to make her peas pudding from the peas cooked while boiling a ham joint. So she would have hot ham and fresh peas pudding stotties.

I, however, cannot stand the stuff - smell or taste. So I would just have the hot ham stottie 🤤

Hard yes to the geordie hummus.

Its a real thing? Thought it was some random song for small children!

I don’t like pease pudding but really it’s just a bean purée. I use it instead of butter for family.
But I am from north east so should love it but don’t.

Londoner here and I love it. Pease pudding and saveloy. Mmmmmmmmm.

Oh yes - it is as EXCELLENT in a saveloy dip as it is in a ham sandwich. I also ate it in sandwiches alone throughout my childhood (chosen not forced 😂).

God, everyone mentioning stottie as well…I’m getting homesick. Has to be from Greggs though.

Hello- you appeared to have transported into a nursery rhyme. What even is pease pudding?!

Gatekeeper · 09/08/2022 19:42

it is delicious...brought up on the stuff as a Northerner. Home boiled ham in a stottie, Lurpak and a good wodge of pease pudden- all washed down with a big mug of Rington's tea

Food of the gods

WhoWants2Know · 09/08/2022 19:41

Now that I've googled it, I think it sounds nice.

When I had some the other day I noticed the serving suggestions photos on the tin. One was to serve it on crackers as canapés

SavingsThreads · 09/08/2022 19:40

Oh yum. Is it a generational/decade thing?

EsmeGythaMagrat · 09/08/2022 19:40

Northerner here! Delicious in a saveloy dip and in a stottie with ham; especially when the ham has been roasted and still warm from the oven.

SavingsThreads · 09/08/2022 19:39

No idea what it is! Off to Google...

AdaColeman · 09/08/2022 19:38

Delicious with sausages or pork chops.
It's dhal for those not keen on spices, it's economical too.

TomAllenWife · 09/08/2022 19:38

Hot pease pudding is not a thing up north

Surely that's just mushy peas??? Like from the chippy with saveloy?

Pease pudding is a cold thick spread to go in a sandwich/stottie

LaQuern · 09/08/2022 19:37

The finest of all the sandwich fillings. Especially with tinned ham

With stuffing as well

luxxlisbon · 09/08/2022 19:35

Literally never heard of it.

FabFitFifties · 09/08/2022 19:34

Love it hot, so the butter melts on the bun/stottie, and topped with brown sauce. Yum. I don't like ham. Yes I'm from NE.

storminabuttercup · 09/08/2022 19:33

Ham and pease pudding stotties. Yum.

Rapidtango · 09/08/2022 19:33

Yumyumyum - proper ham and please pudding stottie.

@MarshaMelrose you could easily leave it in the pot for 9 days as it tastes better the longer you leave it.

NB I do not accept responsibility for any food poisoning incurred.

Southerner here. Also an East End/Essex favourite.
Love pease pudding. Excellent hot or cold.
I like it cold on a salty cracker or hot with sausages/saveloy or ham. Delish.

Ham and pease pudding is a good reason to not go veggie
