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?

Another Southerner here and I love Pease pudding and saveloy (like the song in the Oliver Twist musical). I like it cold too. One of the foods of the gods.

I'm also from the NE and really don't like it, I think it's the texture rather than the taste. DH used to get a saveloy dip with pease pudding and stuffing from the local 'pork shop' which looked disgusting.

I used to like a 'canny bag of Tudor' with my pease pudding and ham stottie

Preferably tomato ketchup flavour

My whole family used to love it but the appearance always put me off. Looks wholly unappetising...

Weirdly, love chick peas in other forms - falafel, hummus etc.

'bag o' Tudor? Ah'd climb a mountain'

Yes PLEASE. My nanna used to make it, scrummy. I think she used a recipe from her Mrs Beeton book. A ham heel was involved (do I mean slipper?).

👍

Thanks for the warning. I'll check it out on a family member first. 😉

Puddings aren't all sweet - there's Yorkshire pudding and steak and kidney pudding. As far as I know, it means a solid lump of something, which might be either sweet or savoury, cooked in a pudding basin and probably steamed or boiled. Then by extension the word pudding gets used as a synonym for dessert or sweet course.

I must look out for a pease pudding and ham sandwich when we go to the NE later this year! Sounds right up my street.

I now live in Scotland and it's all haggis and tunnocks teacakes round here...

I'm English through and through, but you can't do down a Tunnock Teacake! 😋

Pease pudding is nice, wouldn't put it in a sandwich though, too carby for my liking. Bit like having a chick pea sandwich.

My DM used to make her pease pudding in the salty water from the gammon joint, we'd have it a consistency similar to loose mash and served with the cooked gammon and veg.

Picked onion Tudor please

Yes but Google a saveloy dip.

It’s like a sexy, soggy dream of a sandwich.

I’m sure that not what they were referring to in Oliver and I refuse to believe Southerners have the fine tastes to understand it’s magnificence since they can barely get over a chip butty with gravy.

Had one for my lunch today!

I love ham and pease pudding but I'm 100% geordie which might explain it!

What? It's always a perfect combo! Ham and pease pudding is lush! Pease pudding and savoloy dip... mmm!

Ham rolled around pease pudding is lush!

I add tubs to a ham hock stew I make in the slow cooker! Love it!

I feel like this thread has inadvertently herded all the Geordies to one place. 😂

It isn’t soggy. Yes to pease pudding, I’m northern and it was common to eat it growing up.

Pease pudding is fab. Great in a ham stotty, but even better in a well-dipped saveloy dip with stuffing and mustard. Drools...
