Well, Paul F., you can give it whatever fancy name you want, but that looks like the split pea soup I make.
I almost made some last week, too, because I unearthed the bone from the Easter ham in the freezer. Maybe after Christmas.

good lord ADog! I forgot about that! I have one too, and my crockpot is still on the counter from the pork butts last weekend!

Mmmm....
It was really good... *urp*... I'm really full...
AND I have enough leftovers for 2-3 lunches next week.
And FYI; this was thicker than a "soup"... but yeah, it's pretty close to a good pea soup with pork product involvement.
I've got some dishes to do before it becomes green concrete though.

Hey, if it has bacon in it, it's got to be good.

The type of pea that was called grey peas would have stayed together more than the split peas used. One of my father's uncles used to raise them on a portion of his farm for use in some of the old family dishes. Its been decades since I had any of those. Looking at google, it looks like they have become a specialty item here in the US, and not as available in Northern Europe as they once were. Not just in England, but it appears grey peas and bacon is also a typical Latvian dish.

I was at the store earlier, and got a bag of pearl barley, and 2 2, lb bags of split green peas. I have the bone and a fait bit of meat from a ham this summer in the freezer. You have inspired me. I just need a big BIG onion and some garlic.

Actually the peas are themselves pretty healthy ... good amount of fiber and vitamins A and C ... it's the bacon that'll do you in. If it were me, I would substitute the bacon with turkey bacon, and also I'd add pearl onions (they're sweeter than regular onions)... but then, that's me.

Does "Black Country" refer to African American rural recipes? Or some region of the world?
