October 20, 201015 yr I've just indulged in them for the first time and they were bloody marvellous. 4 seasons - 50p for a large pot with vinegar. I'm pretty confident that's one of my 5 a day as well!
October 20, 201015 yr Author First time in your life? I know, it's a disgrace. The sight of them used to put me off when I was a kid and I never got round to trying them before today. Huge error. Need more!
October 20, 201015 yr Pretty hard to find out door vendors selling them, i think the last time i had them was on Preston market.

October 20, 201015 yr Remember having them when the Fair came to Bolton. On Moor Lanr Bus Station - in a tent, in a big white cup. Remember them on Tyldesley Wakes, same big white tent with a coke fire brazier, a massive pan of water full of pot cups, but the best black peas I've ever tasted.

Aye, you always burnt your mouth on t'peys, and cut your tongue on them really thin white placky teaspoons. And then you went back for some more. You can still get them from Bolton market,or alternatively from some pet food shops, under the guise of 'pigeon peas'.
October 20, 201015 yr Treacle toffee = win, toffee apple = win, until you've finished the red toffee, then you throw away apple.
October 21, 201015 yr Can't get them here, bastards don't know what's good for them. This thread has brought back some great memories to this cynical old man.

You can still get them from Bolton market,or alternatively from some pet food shops, under the guise of 'pigeon peas'. As Carp bait / pet food, these aren't food grade products so I would be wary of getting any. Should be stocked in supermarkets at the moment i should think.
October 21, 201015 yr your a 22 yr old trapped in a 10 yr olds body. then trapped an a 40 year old's mind?
October 21, 201015 yr As Carp bait / pet food, these aren't food grade products so I would be wary of getting any. Should be stocked in supermarkets at the moment i should think. Pretty sure we got ours from Morrisson's
