grey pea's and bacon

[Rumad]

I have lived in dudley and surounding area for all but 2 years of my last 14 years. Yet I have allowed my f to cook tonight and her choice is a local delicacy called grey pea's (pronounced gray pays).

Now I would not be conce3rned but she has asked me to watch over the peas in gravy, which incidentally are not grey just to confuse things, but infact brown.

I am scared as it loks vile

Its the last time i let my gf cook i think.....

anyone ever heard of them? Anyone eer tried them? 2 hours before she comes home and i am getting scared....

/me isn't sure which would be worse

looking at it

Peas are normally quite edible, but gravy doesn't belong on vegetables, only on meat and potatoes

peas aren't normally dark brown and soaked for 2 days in water prior to cooking.

Trust me this is one local delicacy i think i should avoid :/

Shit into the mixture. Sure, it'll be tough to eat through, but it won't get any worse for you, and she'll be convinced never to cook again. A small investment with great returns!

ok update - it wasn't too bad if a bit bland - a pea staple which is a bit like a dial with crispy bacon.

A bit bland but not totally unappetising.

on a side note grey pea's have been served since the middle ages.

As a fellow resident of "Dudley and surrounding area" I have indeed heard of "gray pays". You'd never get me near the stuff though.

I thought the whole point was to perpetuate the myth that we eat this kind of shit so that we can laugh when the tourists have some.

Skip the bacon, get some more vegetabales, and be happy!

I've never heard of them and I've lived here my entire life.
