The reason why peas pudding was so popular in England is that until the late 1500's they didn't have potatoes, and dried peas was the starch that they ate regularly.

[@chaotic_crafter]

I did not know this. My father used to make something called peas brose (not sure of the spelling... But I'll never forget the smell 🤢😂)

[@sjanex]

Thanks for sharing because I didn’t even know that despite living in England all my life 😂

[@margi9103]

They were originally grown in South America and brought to Spain by the Spanish in the 1500s. Sir Francis Drake introduced them to England after one of his voyages. In French, potatoes are called pomme de terre which translates to apples from the earth. I remember that from my school French class 50 years ago.

[@SueFine]

Peas pudding hot, peas pudding cold; peas pudding in the pot, nine days old.

[@oakmaiden2133]

Well now we know where that rhyme came from 😊

[@Amyjwashere]

That was all I could think about!

[@MrsBrit1]

Exactly what I was coming to say! The old nursery rhyme. This is not what I expected it to be. 😂

[@Rhaorth]

I always heard it as peas porridge, not peas pudding.

[@SueFine]

@@Rhaorth you are right!

[@elizabethbrewer5791]

Ron is blessed to have Justine

[@lindareinking5326]

I'll be there after church! Stay Cool ❤❤

[@MissMelissaD]

Ron, thank you for showing your appreciation for Justine. It is a rare quality of men/boys

[@brycat61]

"Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold peas porridge in the pot five days old, some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot five days old"

[@katfrench5003]

I love how you young folks take interest in our American history. Food looks good also. The peas pudding reminds me of the little poem we use to jump rope to. Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.

[@remaguire]

I've been to the site where Lewis died on the Natchez Trace. It is pretty darn remote even today. I can only imagine what it was like in the early 19th century. So, if that is the case who would the witness have contacted about the incident? Or at least not very quickly. From what that Park Ranger said about the bullet hole in the back of the skull, it sure seems it's homicide. By the way, if you ever get a chance, a drive along the Natchez Trace is fantastic. Very, very beautiful and a glimpse into how we Americans traveled all those years ago.

[@1415reynolds]

The next time you make an apple dish you guys should talk about Johnny Appleseed...

[@frontierpatriot]

I will in September when its his bday

[@laurawalker4756]

You two are so precious ❤️ the last 15 months I have been recovering from a difficult surgery and have found myself turning on Frontier Patriot (after watching Early American)😊 just to hear your comforting voices. You are so genuine.....I love your prayers for us all❤️ Sending blessings your way.... Grandmother Laura from Alabama ❤️

[@jennifermooney2089]

The way the two of you speak so lovingly to one another is heartwarming. You two are a good match!

[@karens8633]

I live in Massachusetts. I think I’ve seen those Roxbury Apples growing wild! This was a long time ago though, I’m 52, and I was a child then. Not the prettiest to look at, but that’s another thing that has changed about the food we eat now! 😉

[@maryamcurtis]

That's a good shot! Very serious with the pistol!😊❤

[@kimholcomb6943]

Justine, my ancestors who came over on the Mayflower landed in 1620 so that was quite some time after they came over. But you are right, it would have surely been scary for sure.

[@fluffyotter1601]

Suggestion on historic apples..…Peter Gunnarson Rambo from Sweden brought over Rambo apple seeds in 1637 and began growing them in the Philadelphia area (New Sweden) shortly after…….Please try growing the Rambo Apple or also known as the Winter Rambo….not to be confused with the Summer Rambo from France. Winter Rambo can be purchased from a grower in NC. ❤️ your channel

[@savagedaughter9904]

I always bake an apple pie fresh from start to finish on Labor Day weekend it's my little way of ushering in fall 🍁🌻🍂

[@frontierpatriot]

Sounds great!

[@danreynolds7192]

Be careful Justine, you'll shoot your eye out!

[@frontierpatriot]

😂

[@phantomwheeler81]

Awesome as always. I really like that you both pray before the meal. The food looked really good and yes Ron is a blessed man. I laughed so hard when Justine grabbed the gun and started yelling at the fly lol

[@jackieellenbarnes1268]

I think Ron is a BLESSED Man. You two are Adorable 🥰

[@jweider007]

I think that in Britain they call those mushy peas and they are still popular.

[@IsabellaM._]

Yes,there's a Fish and chips restaurant near me that serves mushy peas.

[@tobaccospipesandmore7762]

The pea thing is definitely an English thing because today in England smash peas are still eaten and loved. Love what you guys do and congrats on your upcoming marriage! May you have an eternal and prosperous union with much love and happiness!

[@aprilninthr2886]

I believe the British eat a dish called “mushy peas” which is very similar to your recipe. Lots of butter..delicious. I love the taste of cabbage fried in butter, too. Justine, you inspired me to get into the kitchen and bake a pie tonight! ❤

[@lafranglaise3399]

In fact, mushy peas are basically mashed green peas with butter & herbs whereas pease pudding is made with split yellow peas, ham, butter & herbs. 😉

[@Lulabellexd]

I am English and can confirm I love mushy peas! :)

[@forrestgump9576]

love fried cabbage too! I add shredded carrot and some chopped onions. The sweetness of the carrots compliments the cabbage nicely. I use lard or bacon grease😋😊 (allergic to butter🙄)

[@janejefferies2133]

My husband loves mushy peas being British its a must these days .The pommies love fish and chips with Mushie peas on the side and a slice of lemon.

[@jeanieschrag5378]

In Newfoundland, just about everyone makes peas pudding almost every Sunday. They add Newfoundland savory to it and use yellow split peas. Yummy!

[@cynthiapena1141]

This meal looked wonderful! You pick great receipts, Justine, and appear to do them justice... even when you say they are vague! I really appreciate that you guys say Grace, too.... You guys actually practice the way things were done back then, by bartering. God bless y'all.👋😊

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

I bow my head and pray with them. I love that they are unashamed of believing in God! It really touches my heart every time. 😊❤

[@cynthiapena1141]

@@SongOfSongsOneTwelve wholeheartedly agree.

[@FloweryThoughts]

I just adore the tin can candle holder on the table, and the flowers are to die for!

[@erinoneill2194]

Looks like a perfect Fall meal. I cook my sausages in either cabbage or sauerkraut with onions and apples. So good!

[@Lulabellexd]

Ooh you can't beat a bit of peas pudding. It was one of my dad's favourites. We still eat it in England to this day

[@cathyfisher7894]

It's so funny hearing you guys talk 2023 unlike the Early American channel😊

[@kimsimmons3911]

You all are such darlings!!! I love watching you both so much. Thank you so much for your uploads. I love both of your channels so much. You both do such a wonderful job.

[@olivelinfield5041]

I am from Newfoundland , Canada. Peas Pudding is very popular . We cook it with salt beef , potatoes, carrots and turnip. Everything is cooked together. An wonderful meal.

[@Dan_TheMedievalGuild]

Now I'm going to have to watch a documentary about Lewis. I didn't know all of the information that you guys gave me. I love learning from you folks. It's like I'm sitting right there with you. I can't get enough. Wednesdays don't come fast enough for me.

[@LWYOffGridHomestead]

Loved the opener...enjoyed the chew & chat...never knew there was controversy as to how Merriweather Lewis died...the things i learn at chew & chats...enjoy them

[@bobcarn]

Fried cabbage is wonderful! Cabbage gets somewhat sweet when its cooked. I fry it up in a bit of oil and butter with some keilbasa, a little thinly-sliced onions, and paprika. It's a good main dish!

[@jennifert2953]

I watch both channels. Justine, you make cooking over fire look easy. Like a well rehearsed dance!

[@margui6224]

Green apples are my favorite. Thank you for the description of each apple. The meal and dessert look great. Historical facts: First Northamerican hurricane record. In 1859, the first air balloon photo was taken. The Lewis and Clark expedition. Thank you, Ron and Justine.

[@historybarf]

Peas pudding is the ancestor of Britain’s modern mushy peas.

[@ValonaGrace]

I always cook while Justine cooks and now I’m eating while y’all eat too 😂😂 great job!!

[@rebeccaloignon75]

Just a thought, that if you go with the windows that are only held up with sticks, can be very dangerous for children. If they pull the sticks out, the heavy windows can fall down on them , or their body parts.

[@johndayan7126]

That all looks amazing! Ron, try making your own homemade sauerkraut, and you will love it. Increadibly easy, just shredded cabbage and salt (use a natural salt not processed). You can find helpful videos on how to make it, but it's very easy. Fresh made sauerkraut is the best, and loaded with healthy probiotics. You just can't go wrong with sausages, cabbage, peas, and apples. Enjoy!

[@aimee2234]

Thanks, Justine and Ron for another fun Chew & Chat! The meal and company could not be better. May God bless you both abundantly and see you next week! xoxo

[@mamadeb1963]

Peas pottage is much older than that - it was the basic food for English medieval peasants, since it was cheap, easy to make and nutritious. It was flavored, when possible, with bacon or ham.

[@Smokahontas-gb9is]

This looks amazing...if i thought for a second i would be able to get my kids to eat any coponant of this meal id make it tonight! Ehh kids am i right!!!

The pea’s Pudding reminds me of when you make a thick pea soup.

I don't comment often because I watch on my TV but I wanted to say that I love your channels. Also, I wanted to say I feel such a connection to Ste. Genevieve and the surrounding area as someone who is French Canadian. When I search up all the last names in my family tree the results I get are Canada, France, and the central/eastern United States. I like to think I have distant relatives around in your parts. I hope they hold onto the french language and culture as much as they can. Love from Quebec. Je vous aime tous les deux!

Love this channel! You two are adorable! Would love to come and be a part of all the historic education in your area. Great Chew and Chat! Thanks, guys!

[@Lisa-sp5if]

This looks so yummy and yes, like you could eat this at any time! What I found interesting is that the recipe called for you to cook the apples before you put them in the pie… I have never done that… I wonder when people stopped cooking the apples before they put them in the pie to bake…

[@eleanorripley5741]

Another fun time with you both, Ron looks so Dapper tonight! Great meal Justine! I mean apples from the 1600's is so AWESOME!!

I am a sub to both channels and am still amazed of the receipts that were made back in the 1700/1800s. Justine you surely do make these meals look delightful. I love how y’all make these meals on one channel and taste test/chew and chat on this channel. Oh by the way Justine I thought the same on the peas as mashed potatoes. I enjoy watching you both every week.

[@SalLeeHolland]

I love old recipes. BTW, I right now am having put in my 1920 house new glass windows. ALL of them are wavy (the old ones). I am saving the small parts of each window, and making things out of them. I can't save all the larger parts. I have a lot of windows. At least I am saving what I can, and that's a lot of glass. The new windows will keep the house warmer in winter, and cool in the summer. I have photographed the old ones so we can see the wavyness in them. Also took photos of the sun catching the waves on the wall. I so enjoyed that! I always enjoy your stories. I also enjoy your cooking.

[@nancycurtis488]

Our house was built in 1912 with an upper story added in 1934…. 🎉the downstairs windows ( that have not had the glass replaced) all have wavy glass. I think Merriweather Clark was killed by some unknown person.

[@nancycurtis488]

Your dinner looks WONDERFUL! It is a supper that I make frequently…..usually with onions, stewed cabbage, Green Granny Smith or another firm cooking apples. I love watching you cook on an open fire…. .something I have always wanted to have a hearth to cook over…..you are so lucky. Nancy in east Texas

[@alvankarpas6245]

Is Ron enjoying his meal? Those eyes were so wide I just wasn't quite sure? ;-) Great vid and Ron is one of the few human barometers for how good a meal is that you can trust. Yes, Miss Justine, we watched you cook it and sample it at the end and one could tell that you were proud of your work, but let's face facts, Ron wasn't just a 10 on this meal, it was an enthusiastic 10! Good stuff as always kids...

[@lindareinking5326]

I'm glad Justine tolerated the peas. I thought rhe fly last week was a hoot and flies will be fllies. Love you two❤❤

[@lafranglaise3399]

Love this channel that I have just discovered. Btw, peas pudding is now called pease pudding in English, (I suppose to differentiate it from mushy peas) as 'peas' pudding is made with split yellow peas whereas mushy peas is made with actual fresh green peas. It's not surprising that the peas pudding tastes great with the sausages as it was generally eaten with boiled ham in the UK. I remember having to eat it as a child in the 70s & I didn't like it at all. Now I'm sure I'd love it ! Also, I agree that there is nothing unusual about this meal as most of the dishes still exist either in the UK or France & probably elsewhere in Europe. The whole meal looks delicious !

[@ashleycook300]

Thaat food looks sooo good! I'm excited for this! ♥

Haven't finished video yet....just wanted to say... I hope y'all have window quilts for your windows & doors! Single panes let in so much heat & cold. I know you know this.

[@scotmhead]

Where did you get your apple trees? I know there are a few good online nurseries that handle historic American varieties. I have to grow varieties that can handle the subtropics so that limits me to about 100 variteies.
