So the bonfire food thread got me thinking..
We used to always have Black Peas (or maple peas/parched peas) and they were amazing but when I talk about them to anyone I get looks like im mad!
Now I know If I go back to certain parts of Manchester I can get them dried at the grocers but its seems everywhere but Lancashire has never had them!
Anyone else had these or remember them!? |

They come in like 2kg bags so if i get some i'll send some on! You have to soak them overnight like marrowfat peas.. Similar to mushy peas but just that little bit nice!
Id kill for some tonight!! |

Been eating black peas for the last week ??
They are actually the dried peas from the purple-podded pea (whatever that is), seems that outside of Rochdale/Oldham/Bury area they are unknown. Also munched my way through proper parkin made with black treacle - not that effete Yorkshire shite with golden syrup! |
