Pease Pudding - yes or no?

[GreyllGin]

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?

Yumyumyum - proper ham and please pudding stottie.

Ham and pease pudding stotties. Yum.

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.

Literally never heard of it.

With stuffing as well

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

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

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

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

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.

Oh yum. Is it a generational/decade thing?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Hard yes to the geordie hummus.

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 🤤

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.

Yes from me! It's basically an English hummus (sort of...)

It's disgusting.

Oh it's lovely!! I was born in the north east and my grandad made the best pease pudding! Has anyone got a recipe, because I haven't had it for years, I now live in Scotland and it's all haggis and tunnocks teacakes round here...

I have never been to a wake in Northumberland that did not serve excellent ham and pease pudding stottie sandwiches.
There's always talk of who will bring the ham and pease pudding sandwiches in my family and it's like an honour to be the sandwich maker and have everyone compliment your pease pudding skills!
