What IS pease pudding?  I've heard of it many times, but I've no idea what it consists of or what it looks like! 

It reminds me of Charles Dickens and cockneys for some reason.

CG pease pudding is made by boiling split peas ( the yellow variety)

Best done in the pan or slow cooker whilst boiling ham.

Makes a wonderful golden paste and tastes fab.

I always take my daughter some when I visit as it isn't available in Hampshire.

Why on Earth has this thread got a solved indication on it when it wasn't even looking for a solution?

[ed_blackadder_1]

My apologies that was my fault I pressed the solved button when I was posting and I am unable to edit on my phone, sorry if it caused confusion.

On the subject of pease pudding, didn't the original rhyme specifiy that it was "nine-days old"

Surely in the absence of refrigeration, such pudding would be crawling with lethal germs, and not fit for consumption, or was that the point made by the rhyme?

[leoleoleo123]

It was said that pease pudding could be reheated as many times as required...

many nursery rhymes are about totally different things than they appear to be.. (from the days when dissin royalty could leave you headless)  Pease puddin hot is meant to refer to Lady Jane Grey.. the 9 day queen...

[malacandran]

That seems very implausible., chez. Surely Lady Jane Grey didn't last long enough to generate folk-rhymes? She seems quite colourless, and forgotten.

Although, the 9 day reference,  causes me to hesitate. 

[leoleoleo123]

Type 'pease pudding hot' into Google.. It brings up several links giving the origins and meanings of that, and several other nursery rhymes...

[malacandran]

Leo, thanks for your suggestion.  But I never search Google before replying . Just rely on my accumulated knowledge, over a lifetime.

Perhaps it's time to begin then. We all have gaps in our knowledge and no one, and I mean no one, is correct in everything they know
