Ham and Pease pudding stotties, a great Geordie institution.

More good things for sandwiches……..

Pease pudding a Victorian paupers dinner, fit for royalty. The French may have foie gras and truffles but the North has pease pudding.

Pease pudding hot,

Pease pudding cold,

Pease pudding in the pot

Nine days old.

Some like it hot,

Some like it cold,

Some like it in the pot

Nine days old.

So goes the nursery rhyme. I would neither suggest you reheat pease pudding many times or keep it for nine days. I have and it’s not very appealing. However when freshly made spread on to warm stotties with thickly sliced home cooked ham it is a real treat.
