Black peas

Do you remember eating black peas when Wigan Fair arrived on the Market Square. If I recall they were served in a paper cup with some of the liquid. Salt and vinegar to taste. Or you got them dry in a paper bag.

Parched peas, also known in Lancashire as black peas, are cooked and served with vinegar and are a traditional treat in the North of England especially when served on Bonfire Night on November 5th. Family and friends will gather around the bonfire to celebrate the failed plot of Guy Fawkes to blow up parliament in 1605. As it is (usually) a cold, often wet, night these peas are more than welcome to help warm up cold tummies.
The cooked, slightly thickened and mushy peas once cooked, are sprinkled with malt vinegar and is a very special treat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups/500 g. dried black peas (see below for types of peas to use)
- Pinch bicarbonate of soda
- 1 carrot (peeled and sliced thickly)
- 1 stick celery (roughly chopped)
- 1 onion (peeled and roughly chopped)
- Salt
- Malt vinegar (to taste)
Steps to Make It
Tips
- Black peas are also known as Black Badger peas and as Carlin or Maple Peas. In the US, use pigeon peas, or even black-eyed peas and cook as above. Whichever you use, they will be great and you will be glad you did standing around the bonfire, in the pouring rain!
