FAQs
What is pease pudding?
Pease pudding is a traditional British dish made from boiled yellow split peas, seasoned with salt and butter. It is particularly associated with North East England where it is still sold in butcher's shops and eaten with ham, pork, or in sandwiches. It is one of Britain's oldest documented dishes, referenced in nursery rhymes.
Are yellow split peas the same as green split peas?
Both are hulled and split field peas, but from different varieties. Yellow split peas are sweeter and creamier when cooked; green split peas have a more robust, earthy flavour. They are interchangeable in most recipes with a flavour difference.
Do split peas need soaking?
No — they cook without soaking in 30–40 minutes due to being split and hulled.
