Mushy Pea Fritters - For Northerners NOT Southerners

[@peihongtan7024]

Your narration in these videos are absolutely hilarious! The sandwich with the curry sauce looks delicious. I think this might well be the most criminally underrated food channel on youtube.

[@TheTeessideChef]

Very kind words thank you so much ❤

[@ledzep331]

It used to be that it was discouraged deep to fry for health reasons, no need now as no one can afford the oil to fry owt in!

[@LeeJGTaylor]

I’m from south of England, pea fritters in every fish n chippy. I moved up north. No chip shops up here sells them and everyone I speak too up here has never heard of them!! So I’m resorting to making my own or have them as a treat when I pop down south 😢

[@whitecompany18]

Yep, I'm a southerner and can't find them on Merseyside where I live now, or savaloys and flat fishcakes. Shite chippys all Chinese owned

[@Booce2008]

Your jokes are getting better and better, I was cracking up even though I'm a soft southern nancy 😆

[@candyfloss362]

Love mushy pea fritters. Not had one in donkeys years. I tell people about them and met with blank expressions. But finally, my local chippy makes them.

[@marchair]

I’m a Teessider living abroad now, and remember that Labour MP years ago thinking the chippy in his Hartlepool constituency sold guacamole. They were, of course, mushy peas! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Soft southerner trying to fit in up north!

[@TheTeessideChef]

Peter Mandelson! He said in his memoir that it wasn't true but I'm not sure I believe him

[@Artstewsimpson]

First time I tried these was in Andover, Wiltshire. Couldn't find any in the toon.

[@krazyjuicedan]

As a northern mushy pea lover I an quite rightly say these look right banging.

[@PURPONTHETRACK]

An American here. I made and tried these myself, and I've got to say its not bad. I like peas. Mushy peas not so much but after mixing in some non mushed peas and some cheese this is a great snack / side item. And this is from a southern American.

[@AndyM-t8r]

Why not go all in and use doughnut batter 😂

[@seanonel]

😂😂 Priceless!! Delicious looking too!! Subscribed.

[@TheTeessideChef]

Thanks for the sub!

[@stekeel6993]

Im a southerner always had these from a chippy when a kid

[@paulmlemay]

You're damn right some of us are Americans, bam bam, pow pow, yeehah

[@TheTeessideChef]

Hahaha nice one 😂

[@layaclode6363]

Love the socio & economic differences between the north and south! That it’s too much for us Aussies … please keep going!!!!

[@TheTeessideChef]

Thank you! Will do!

[@ScottyDont1945]

Discovered pea fritters a few weeks ago. How i didn't know about them before is a mystery

[@slappyjoe631]

As an American Northerner, I'm so glad that we don't have these sort of squabbles between the north and the south (and I'm sure we never did). I remember visiting a rural bar in Tennessee a few years ago. I overheard a few of the locals talking about getting ready to "beat the Yankees". I was so happy to hear them say that. I told them that I'm a New York Mets fan and hate the Yankees too. We all had a laugh and went back to cleaning our guns whilst guzzling our Bud Lights.

[@ritualchaos7182]

Oh yes! A delicacy, drizzled with a little mint sauce. Bigger bread bun in future!!!

[@pattyson100]

I grew up in the south and moved to Australia when i was 16. Miss these (and the fish and chips) so much.... I've just eaten a tin of Bachelors Mushy Pea (1.50 pounds a tin!!!) while watching this and reminiscing. Will have to give this a go. Yummy.

[@Gazzuk58]

Mushy peas in a can, no thanks absolutely terrible, If you can't find proper dried marrowfat peas and steep them overnight. Then better off getting a can of processed peas, drained and add a little water salt and small pinch of sugar and gently mush them yourself as they cook but don't overdo it, these will taste far better than a sloppy tin of crap.

[@philipatkinson7039]

Oooooh naar tha talking. Sloppy peas are the food of god's. Definitely gunna give them a bash. Lovely, simply Lovely 😂😂👍👍

[@Larry]

Is this like the British equlivant of Hush Puppies? Those things Americans seem to think Brits eat at their fish and chips approximations.

[@TheTeessideChef]

I've never had hush puppies but they sound nice. Surely not as good as these though I wouldn't have thought. I'm not convinced anything else is tbh 😆

[@christinemoore7704]

People from Lancashire think they are northern I’m not so sure as I am from County Durham I was sure that was the north when I lived there.

[@lauzthorbzarella4655]

Here in South Wales Valleys, I am probably the only one that eats a lot of mushy pea fritters. I love mine on top of my chips & gravy in a tray, absolutely bangin'!! I will be trying your version though and subscribing to your channel. I prefer the northerners (England) to the southerners (England)

[@devasurfer]

Bye eck makes yer proud to be a northerner.

[@sekhmetsaes]

that...looks AMAZING. I already have my (New England USA) family addicted to your chip shop curry sauce, because it goes so well with hush puppies (which, if you're not familiar, are sort of cornmeal&onion fritters).

[@NeatBeatZone]

skimped on the curry sauce there son haha-you need to spread it after the butter both sides of the bread then a good load on the fritters before closing. looks good though 👍🍺 need a beer to wash down of course 😜

[@sconzey]

British transplant to the US here, frantically searching out a taste of home.

[@xander1052]

As a soft shandy drinking southerner (well, I don't drink Shandy but I am a southerner, let the bottle of London Pride beside me be proof of that!) I am shocked and appalled that I'm not getting random tasty shite from the chippy deepfried and put in a bap. We truly are behind XD

[@george-1961]

Lol😂 This Southern softie don’t do mushy peas but I’d definitely try them in fritters with curry sauce and a crunchy bread roll bought from the bakers 😋

[@lesleyb26]

Would I be forced to move south if I put tartar sauce on mine 😆

[@TheTeessideChef]

You are so posh. I bet your toilet's inside and everything 😂

[@lesleyb26]

I don't want to brag but yea, and the bath has taps 😆

[@malapoyo]

Putting chip shop curry sauce on ANYTHING is almost cheating! I'd put that $hi+ on EVERYTHING!

[@call_in_sick]

Ten story love song is a brilliant book. As is Apples.

[@AndyM-t8r]

I grew up on pea fritters and I'm from Portsmouth but have to admit your's do look good 👍

[@PortmanRd]

Readily available down south.

[@Mattherat15]

Where are you mate we need more videos?

[@DebrasDeliciousDishes]

Hey my UK friend

[@MrsM334]

Not going to lie would never have thought of battering mushy peas, although I do like haggis balls in batter. Your stottie is a thing of beauty too and definitely more substantial than a brioche bun I'd say.

[@lloydr.6271]

Learnt about curry sauce in the army from two brilliant lads from Liverpool , now sadly gone to the great chip shop in the sky. Mushy peas as is or fritters were part of growing up with a tanner in my pocket , waiting in line after Cub Scouts finished . Now addicted to curry sauce (your recipe) and happier than a pig doing what pigs love doing. Try deep fried battered Haggis with a proper gravy or your curry sauce. Life can still be worth living. Thanks mate.

[@TheTeessideChef]

Thanks for sharing mate

[@72cmg]

Love your videos! I'm an American, and these look amazing!! Can't wait to try them. One comment mentioned hush puppies, which are great, but they are like corn bread batter usually, then deep fried. The only similarity is how they are deep fried.

[@TheTeessideChef]

Thanks for that mate 👍

[@grahamh4478]

It’s not grim up north……Viz, John Shuttleworth, the Transporter bridge, Richard Milward and mushy pea fritters. It’s like I’m back home. U.T.B.

[@kimbradley1292]

Deffo need a pan of chips and Tommy K. 😂

[@jfergs.3302]

Perfect as is... Deffo NO ketchup.

[@suehall2526]

I think I would want some chips in that butty .Looks yummy . Thanks for sharing !!

[@TheTeessideChef]

Chips would have been awesome but I might have broken the internet if I'd put them on too 😂

[@Concreteowl]

Ironically I can never find it in the North. I used to have them in the south.

[@sineadshearn3806]

Can you freeze and reheat these? Xx

[@TheTeessideChef]

Yes. They're better fresh but can definitely be reheated, ideally from frozen in the oven.

[@sineadshearn3806]

@@TheTeessideChef awesome thank you my kids love pea fritters so be handy to freeze a load. What gas mark would you recommend and for roughly how long? X

[@TheTeessideChef]

The how long will depend on various factors so I'd say cook from frozen at around 160C-180C (Gas mark 3-4) until they're piping hot inside. 10-15 minutesish

[@themadcoachman]

Yet you cant buy pea fritters up north , but most chippys down south do sell pea fritters

[@johnbaines9580]

Food of the gods but ... "A pan of oil" - well la-di-da yer big girl's blouse! Is lard not good enough for yer?!

[@TheTeessideChef]

I actually used Castrol GTX here mate just to prove how hard I am 💪

[@stewsmith9236]

Pea fritters origin in the UK is the South of England, Ampshire. All fish and chip shop have them. Ive never seen them anywhere except Ampshire and i worked all of the UK for 30 years

[@pifflepockle]

Yum

[@Briancooks1]

❤

[@sapphy2]

I'm hungry now. I love you. I'm a geordie

[@kenjackben]

this preparation reminds me of falafel

[@Ant-dx8yt]

😋 I need to eat these later...

[@TheTeessideChef]

Pop round mate, I've still got some left but my whippet's been eyeing them up so you better be quick 😆

[@Ant-dx8yt]

@@TheTeessideChef lmao, I'll have to settle for making them tomorrow, been looking for a recipe idea, these will go down well here in Lancashire

[@ruthsmith2367]

You’ve got to squash your butties down. Looks good 👍

[@ourkidneybean5476]

Not for southerners? Surely you jest? I could get pea fritters in any fish & chip shop I cared to visit in Hampshire. Now living in the West Midlands, no chippie has ever heard of them. Please change your geographical emphasis if you want to dis somebody - the south is crammed full of northerners (and many others worldwide) who've brought their cuisine with them. Try a visit, you might be surprised.

[@TheTeessideChef]

Yes mate I do jest. No offence intended x
