Be thankful it wasn't the Dwarfs movie.

From an old National Lampoon one-panel cartoon by Rick Meyerowitz
about the Smurfs:

"Sleaze products bought / Sleaze products sold / Sleaze products for
the tot / Nine days old. / Some say "Why not?" / Some give 'em gold. /
Some want 'em stood and shot / I'm enrolled."

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.

Smurfette is the victim of human trafficking, that's why.

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.

Nat Lamp could be really funny, at times. Unfortunately, it was too
much like SNL, in that it suffered more misses than hits.

I was not surprised to see my fave NL mag cover --which snagged my
attention on a newstand, back in '73-- being posed as the most
memorable. Best magazine cover ever. Laughed my ass off (but still

Before NL, there was The Times Square Two, which I saw on stage
at Le Hibou in the mid- to late 1960s. One of the two was Michel
Choquette (the son of Robert Choquette...google it) who, as the
Wikipedia article puts it "went on to work for The National
Lampoon...Choquette [now]teaches screen-writing and comedy
writing at McGill University and Concordia University in
Montreal."

Wikipedia says this about NatLampCo: "The magazine was a
springboard to Hollywood for a generation of comedy writers,
directors, and performers. Various alumni went on to create and
write for Saturday Night Live, The David Letterman Show, SCTV,
The Simpsons, Married... with Children, Night Court, and various
films including National Lampoon's Animal House, Caddyshack,
National Lampoon's Vacation, and Ghostbusters."

So, in my mind, The Times Square Two set the stage for the
creation of National Lampoon which spawned SNL.

Interesting that Canadians (Choquette, Ackroyd, Lorne Michaels)
were present at those seminal moments.

As an aside, Dan Ackroyd was hired to help at the door when Muddy
Waters and his band were playing. We chatted a bit during
intermissions about nothing in particular but I remember that he
had purchased a harmonica and was playing it very well for
someone who claimed to not know how to do this.

The variations were due to regionalism. My paternal grandparents lived

The fact that the core of the National Lampoon writing staff -- including
Michel Choquette -- had written for the HARVARD Lampoon is not
significant to you?

And, a plurality of SNL's first cast had worked for Second City,
either the original Chicago theater, the Toronto offshoot, or both:
John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Gilda Radner.

The direct connection between National Lampoon and SNL was
their Radio Hour performers: John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray,[2] Gilda Radner, and Brian Doyle-Murray; and writers Michael O'Donoghue and Anne Beatts, Harold Ramis, who was one of the co-writers for the National Lampoon movie Animal House.

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.

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.

I sure do and I never use ham anymore for that. My recipe is actually

Cussing? 19th century much? The BBC does not bleep over
"certain words" (tm applied for) which are a. commonly used and
b. found in any modern dictionary of the English language. I'd
much rather hear the word than assume some dried up old biddy is
sitting in a control booth applying antiquated moral values to
language.

Such stranglehold on expression assumes that the word is
unfamiliar, in which case it would mean nothing, or too familiar
in which case there is hardly any point in pretending it doesn't
exist. And that is what it is...pretending, bowdlerizing.

The BBC has stopped the practice of pretending language is
something it isn't, the CBC has relaxed its control.
