I worried and was pained to know Mid-dau went out on a limb and cooked Split pea soup yesterday. She assured me it would be great. Yeah, no. Not convinced.
I have problems with cauliflower and broccoli. This soup smelled reminiscent of those. Kinda. To me.
I was thinking the whole time, yep I’m gonna need that over advertised Emergency Pizza
Since we are currently trespassed from the localish best Pizza joint, we’ve used Domino’s a few times(except last time, remind me to tell you how we flew under the radar and got best pizza last week) I have 4 emergency pizza digital coupons.
Turned out the Split pea soup was pretty good. Ham saved it’s life.
It’s not a thing I’d want too often. I’m glad I’m out today. I’m sure it’s on the lunch menu.
I’m a lifelong vegetable hater, it’s taken me into my old age to find even a few vegetable preparations I like- mainly by cooking every last trace of vegetable flavor out of them. Peas taste sickly-sweet to me, like if you tried to make quinine palatable by adding enough sugar to it.
To my mind, split peas are more like lentils, which I quite like in a casserole.
Indian spicing works very well with them, though a ham approach is good too.
Unlike a standard pea soup, which I’m not fond of. Or the dreaded ‘mushy peas’ of British chip shop infamy…
