Firstly, PEAS >>

I never knew that the "pease" from the popular ryhme were peas, green peas. Stupid me, huh.

(popular ryhme)
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

Pease porridge sounds good. It might be my next experiment. Sounds really British.

Ok, and secondly BLACK-EYED PEAS >>

I think it safe to conclude that pea is a bean, but a black-eyed pea is not a pea.

And in other cooking news I made a pretty traditional carrot raisin salad with no crazy additions. The coarse shredding of the carrots step totally permanently stained my cutting board orange. I can't get the stain off.
