pease pudding

British split-pea dish

Pease pudding is a British dish of boiled split peas mashed into a thick paste, traditionally served with ham or bacon.

The nursery rhyme "Pease Porridge Hot" refers to this dish—porridge and pudding being interchangeable in older usage.

It remains a staple in northern England: pease pudding and ham on a stottie.
