So is my split pea (or lentil) soup. Coming out of the refrigerator, 
the leftovers can be picked up in blocks in the fingers to eat --- 
though they feel weird.

Don't think so because it's fairly thick, nearer the consistency of baked
beans in tomato sauce.

Around Nottingham, mushy peas are often eaten with mint sauce.  There is a 
stall on the Nottingham market that sells hot mushy peas, and people stand 
and eat them at the stall.


Mint sauce is made from finely chopped mint, sugar and vinegar (we like a 
mixture of balsamic and cider vinegar, but some people use malt vinegar) It 
is usually eaten with lamb (and mushy peas where I live)

[lace-chat] Mushy peas and mint sauce

2007-05-20 Thread Agnes Boddington

You make the mushy peas even worse with the addition of mint sauce.
My husband keeps a jar in the fridge, and the whole family crignes when 
it comes out. He likes it on new potatoes.

Just to  turn you off mushy peas for life if you haven't tasted them 
(absolutely  delicious!), the Wikipedia entry is:

Mushy peas are dried marrowfat  peas which are first soaked and then 
simmered until they form a green  lumpy paste (the more pure the mushy peas, 
the less obviously bright the  colour - peas with few additives tend to form 
a more grey-green end  product). Sodium bicarbonate is often added to soften 
the peas and to  inhibit fermentation during soaking which reduces later 
flatulence. They  are a very traditional northern English accompaniment to 
fish and chips,  or in the north-west are commonly served as part of the 
popular snack of  pie and peas (akin to the Australian pie floater, but with 
mushy peas  instead of a thick pea soup) and are considered a part of 
traditional  British cuisine. Mushy peas can also be bought in tins. They are 
also  sometimes served in batter as a pea fritter.

A knob of butter is  commonly added to enhance flavour.





This sounds kind of like split pea soup - is it? 
 
Thanks! :)
