The Pottage in Pease Pottage which I too often passed is from the French Marmite or pot a pot hung over the trad fire all day.
All over the pre electric world grannies brewed up wonderful stews on the eternal flame from hovel to castle,, ragouts, goulasches from fresh local herbs, veggies and cuts of meat often overlooked in the fast cook age.Give it poke now and again .
Of course slow cooking produce fine flavours. In fact there is a bloke in Zambia prepping sub Sahara's biggest outdoor wok at present. See WonkaTonka at TikTok.za, don't click links to Wanga management !

Today I was surprised by a can of Mushy peas. What's all that about? What's the word on the street? She also had 3 cans of guinnesswhat do folk do with them? Do they pair well with Guinness?

^ When I lived in Perth I used to drive out on the Great Eastern Highway to the pie shop at Baker's Hill, somewhwre near Wundowie, from memory.
That pie shop sells pie floaters, which is a pie sat in a bowl of mushy peas. With that tin of mushy peas you can now do that at home. All you need is a pie.
