Pease Pudding

[pinkjudy45]

Can pease pudding be cooked with ordinary peas as have no yellow split peas?

[woofgang]

what frozen ones? I think that pease pudding peas are mealier than ordinary peas, even dried ones.

Thanks woofgang.

I can't quite see how it can be called Pease Pudding if you use garden peas, ie green ones ? Pease Pudding is made with lentils.

Would you cook apple pie using bananas instead ?

Its all very puzzling !
