dog Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I live in Nottingham. It's going crackers at the moment. New dog (rescue hound) has been with us for a week and has spent every evening cowering in different corners of the house as yet more uber bangers rattle the windows of NG9. Bonfires stink out the locality since most of them are damp collections of rotten wood with late autumn barbecue oil squirted on to try and get them going. Mushy peas? Mushy peas? The Italians invented pizza, curry from India, the poles do wonders with dumplings, the Chinese have (well) Chinese food. And all that Nottingham and its shire has done is invent mushy peas. And they are proud of it. I mention gingerbread, sage Derby and Bakewell tart and they shrug and add mint sauce to their peas. Can we do a definitive list of how Derbyshire offerings to civilization are superior to those from the other side of the M1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 You're mixing with the wrong people. Get yourself down to Cropwell Bishop and taste the Stilton! Bakewell tart and pudding is amazing though, chucking mint sauce on mushy peas less so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwash_Ram Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Luminous green mushy peas, drowned in mint sauce, reminds me of my formative years wandering round Ilson fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 A cup of mushy peas is one of my favourite foods. I'll be very disappointed if I find out it's a Nottingham invention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
