Bonfire Night
 

Need help...having a bonfire night party (well campfire because of by-laws!) and want to make black peas. Had look in the supermarkets and can't find any! Anyone know what they might be called here if not Black peas? Or how to go about finding some. Can taste them already!
Cheers

OOps:o:o
born 'n' bred in Lancashire, a real lancahire lass :rofl::rofl:

why did I think they were scottish:unsure:

Re: Bonfire Night
 

would love to know what they are, never heard of them:blink:

Re: Bonfire Night
 

Yes, a real Lancashire lass! Every year had black peas..a type of pea that you have to soak overnight then boil for about 3 hours. They go all mushy and taste great with loads of vinegar and salt. Not been able to find the right type of peas over here though so still hoping someone knows....
Along with bonfire toffee, parkin, baked spuds, toffee apples, chesnuts and a steaming hot cup of hot chocolate laced with whatever alcohol takes your fancy! Great

Sounds like the party's at your place pity we're still in the uk:(
Have a gud un ;)

Re: Bonfire Night
 

do you mean "Mushy Peas"?, like what you get from the pie and pea shop? (e.g.)

will dig out recipe shortly if that's the case

Re: Bonfire Night
 

And you would eat all that:eek::eek::ohmy: Please dont invite me (my birthday is Nov. 5th) :ohmy:

Re: Bonfire Night
 

I've never heard of Black Peas either, lol. I'm from Liverpool, so not far from Lancashire! It does sound like Mushy Peas, though...this is the first year we are celebrating Bonfire Night (I've been here 4 years!) and I can't wait!! My boyfriend is from Montreal, and wants me to introduce some less known British Traditions to everyone - and he had never heard of Bonfire Night before! lol I'm even getting our Niece and Nephew to make a Guy Fawkes! lol Should be fun! My mother-in-law is super excited as her Grandmother was British and she loves all this stuff!! lol.

Am I right in saying you can't buy fireworks here? As in, 'domestic' ones? Not that I'd be happy to set them off anyway, what with all the wooden roofs around my neighbourhood :eek:

What about sparklers?

I'm thinking of having a 'curry night' for Bonfire Night - two great British traditions, eh? :rofl::rofl:

Re: Bonfire Night
 

Fantastic idea! I have a mean curry recipe! Yum! I was wondering about Fireworks too...I'm a bit scared of them anyways, but Sparklers would be great! Where would I go to get them?! :blink:
