[http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msnert.html](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msnert.html) It’s also this: DUTCH SPLIT PEA SOUP (SNERT) 500 gram split peas Stock cubes 2 chicken breasts 500 gram meatloaf Vegatables for soup Some pepper If you like it an onion Put the peas in a pan, pour water on it and let it rest overnight. the peas will be swollen the next morning. Use the water in the pan and add some more. You can use a big pan and fill it for 3/4 with (cold) water. Put the pan on the stove, and let it heat up slowly on a low fire. Add the chicken breast, which are chopped. I don’t know how many stock cubes have to be used, that depends how much salt you like in soup. Make little balls of the meatloaf and add that too. (we here in Holland have minced beef). Let the soup boil for one hour on a low fire. Stir now and then. When the soup looks like a green smoothly porridge, add the vegetables and let it boil another 10 minutes. Don’t forget to stir. It easily burns on the bottom. You can add a chopped onion too, and if you like it some pepper. From: [Classic Jewish-Food Recipe Archives](http://www.jewish-food.org/recipes/snert.htm) ---

Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, **assenav** , glad to have you with us. Thanks for providing the link to the staff report! Since this is a very old Staff Report, dating back to the days when the internet was young and those who felt “in” created lots of strange words to describe those who were “out”… I suspect you won’t have a lot of people commenting on your recipe. Unless they try it, of course. But welcome, just the same!
