Pease pudding

Pease pudding is a traditional British dish made from dried marrowfat peas that are soaked, cooked until soft, and then mashed into a smooth, creamy consistency. Often flavored with salt, pepper, and sometimes ham or bacon for added richness, it has a mild, savory taste. Served warm or cold, it’s commonly enjoyed as a side dish or spread on bread. Pease pudding has historical roots in Northern England and is associated with comfort food and regional cuisine, offering a hearty, protein-rich option that pairs well with various meats and breads.
