The original rhyme is food related:

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.

Deep within the dog heart of every religious bigot lies a wounded child

Of course parents should frighten children into believing in the supernatural.

I remember it as "peas porridge" etc.

Which I always thought was pretty strange but then my only
acquaintance with "porridge" as a kid was in British novels and
suchlike.

Is pease pudding/peas porridge the same thing as "mushy peas"?

No. Different colour, different kind of pea.Mushy peas are green
marrowfat peas, sold either dried or canned.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_pudding

"Pease pudding, also known as pease pottage or pease porridge, is a
savoury pudding dish made of boiled legumes, typically split yellow or
Carlin peas, with water, salt, and spices, and often cooked with a bacon
or ham joint. A common dish in the north east of England, it is consumed
to a lesser extent in the rest of Britain, as well as in Newfoundland,
Canada".

I often use yellow split peas in ham soup.

Sounds like split pea soup, to me. Jes diff colored peas, like
different colored lentils.

Pease pudding is thicker than soup, it can stand up unaided :-)

Kills me how you Limey's try to make everything your own. What?
Pease pudding has legs? I mean, c'mon. You ppl can't even agree on
"faggots". What is that? A poof? A cigarette? A food dish? Some
sticks?

BTW, my split pea soup is typically quite thick. Split pea soup can
use jes about any colored dried pea --even yellow ones-- and can
include about any --or no-- meat or other veggie. IOW, we don't
rename it fer every variation.

The variations were due to regionalism. My paternal grandparents lived
120 miles from where I was raised and there were dishes there that my
Mother had never heard of - and vice versa.

Aren't (1) "split pea soup" and (2) "split pea soup with ham/" two
different types of critter, so to speak?? Campbell Soup Company makes
both versions (1) and (2), IIRC. Over the years, I've solely used the
former as an ingredient for a simple, luscious "curried crab soup" recipe.

Any split pea soup I have eaten had some ham in. If Campbells sells
split pea with ham it probably has little more ham than the other split
pea soups that don't mention it, and likely a lot less than I put in mine.

Wikipedia says: Green and yellow split peas are commonly used to make
pea soup or "split pea soup", and sometimes pease pudding, which was
commonly prepared in Medieval Europe.

I am totally unfamiliar with carlin peas
http://www.foodsofengland.co.uk/carl...ownbadgers.htm
and make split (green) pea soup with or without ham... made it without
last time and decided I prefer it that way.

I tried it recently with split green peas, but decided that it is better
with yellow. I tried a ham in it but decided that a smoked ham hock is
essential.

I sure do and I never use ham anymore for that. My recipe is actually
a vegan one and is delicious. You don't miss the pork flavor one bit.

OOOPS, I drastically goofed when I described soup (1) above as "split
pea soup" -- that should be simply "green pea soup"!! Sorry about that
-- here are a couple of links:

https://www.campbells.com/campbell-s...reen-pea-soup/

Then there's the (2) "split green pea with ham & bacon"

https://www.campbells.com/campbell-s...reen-pea-soup/

Just wanted to clarify the two soups I meant to compare and how they're
different critters. Hopefully the links work for y'all without any
problems.
