Curious to know whether any of our G&G family, from oop North have eaten Carlin peas/Parched peas on Bonfire Night or any other night!
From what I've read they were sold by street vendors in paper pokes https://hodmedods.co.uk/blogs/recipes/pa...arlin-peas
I have some Carlin peas from my Hodmedod box in to soak overnight. Any inspiring ideas for what happens to them after cooking?

They are well named as they look like sheeps carlins. ![Cry Cry](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/cry.png) My gran used to boil them up around about this time of year.We used to have them hot with loads of malt vinegar on them.They stink a bit from what I remember but didn't taste too bad.
Since then, whenever I have any type of peas with my dinner, especially mushy peas, i drown them in vinegar!

Thanks Vinny,
I don't know what sheep's carlins are - sorry. Are they droppings? (I'm very innocent. ![Wink Wink](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/wink.png) )
Have you tried growing carlin peas? A friend from ?Bolton grew them last year in his garden. Reckoned he had loads of peas off them.

I haven't grown them, but I did make that Hodmedod's recipe last year and it was very tasty.
