Is it swine flu? is it the colour? is it the fat? is it the pig skin? is it because of religious sensitivities? If you go to your local supermarket, to the deli section, and ask the person wearing the mandatory surgical headwear for three nice sized pieces of bacon bones, then go to the 'grains' aisle and buy yourself some split green peas, celery head, one carrot and one onion, then take them home, put them in a pot for a many hours simmering, you will have the most wholesome, cheap, easy to cook meal that can sit in your fridge FOR A WEEK, getting thick and stodgy. And the farts... you have no idea.
But some people don't like this. It's clear. Some people have told me they like vegetable and ham soup. That's a poor cousin. That's like asking for pastrami and rye on white bread. The green peas... now here's a point for the biologists, are green peas that you buy in the supermarket in packets the same as green peas that grow in satchels on trees only dry?
pea and ham soup. I finished ours up last night and I'm off to the super to get the makings for another batch. I better buy some incense.
