Peas Pudding

Cultural Context

Peas pudding has its roots in British cuisine, particularly in the North of England. Traditionally served with meats, it was a staple for working-class families, often cooked in a cloth or pudding bag. This dish celebrates the humble split pea, transforming it into a hearty, comforting side. Today, it remains a beloved dish, often enjoyed with ham or as part of a Sunday roast.
