Yummy! 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. Split pea has split personality. ---

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… ---

Isn’t “pudding” a dessert of whatever in Brit speak. How can peas be dessert? Oh, crap. I know there’s gonna be one now. Your link did show a pic of the exact thing I ate yesterday. Like I said, it was pretty good. Once. ---

‘Pudding’ is one of those words where UK and US english differ somewhat. It does usually refer to some sort of starchy dessert in the UK. But then of course there’s ‘black pudding’, which is very definitely NOT a dessert… ---

Cooked properly, a steak and kidney pudding is a gourmet feast, IMHO. Not something you want to eat every day of course: much too rich! ---

I like a good split pea soup, but I hardly ever get it, because who has time to split all those peas? ---
