It's quite a common dish in Germany. The Dutch are the masters though.

>>19839887
its pea soup not pee soup you stupid ass

It's quite common in Poland too. Maybe not a every week type of dish but still.

>>19839887
I'm a burger and I grew up eating split pea soup pretty regularly, it's still one of my favorite soups. Really hearty, has a strong comfort food quality

We have the same pancake thing on Thursdays in Finland. Comes from a time when the Swedish crown wanted people to eat more peas and peas were thought to be Thor's favorite food so they ate it on Thursdays

>>19839887
Is* don't know why my phone wanted it to be "I'd"

>>19839887
Yeah pea and mint soup is a British classic.

I don’t know why op has chickpeas in his image(not peas).

>>19839903
Did not know that was the reason, interesting

>>19839908
Blame the chefs onbord my boat

That's weird. I'd only pee soup IN Sweden.

>>19839908
Yellow peas are not chickpeas, Mr Buttertooth

>>19839887
Peas are suppose to be green

>>19839887
My mummy made split pea soup all the time. Comfy and hearty like >>19839899 said.
T.amerilardissimo

>>19839899
Yeah, this thread made me realize that split pea soup was really common in the 90's and I almost never see it on menus anymore. It was always one of my favorites when I was little.

>>19839954
dry peas are yellow

>>19839887

One institution that keeps the Thursday pea soup going is the Finnish military. They actually know how to make a really good pea soup. I remember looking forward to the soup on Thursdays, because it was genuinely good and usually you could have as much as you needed, which was not the case with other foods.

The pancake was not really anything special.

>>19839887
>Swedish cooking
Zero finesse. This is why people hear about french cooking and not Swedish cooking

>>19839960
No. Some peas are yellow and other peas are green. Didn't you do punnet squares in year three?

>>19839960
>>19839954

>>19839959
I feel like it's steadily declined in popularity ever since The Exorcist made people associate it with demon vomit, truly a shame because it genuinely is very delicious

>>19839991
I don't remember how much of an affect The Exorcist had on pea soup consumption because I'm not in my 60's, but people definitely still associated it with the film 30 years ago. It's just one of those things you never really think about until you randomly see it and realize you used to eat it all the time and now almost never do. Other things I never see on restaurant menus anymore also include cottage cheese, alfalfa sprouts (that basically happened overnight), and thousand island dressing.

>>19840017
Oh yeah, I used to eat cottage cheese all the time too, wonder what happened to that. It used to be in every restaurant that served breakfast
I'd bet thousand island got phased out because it's basically just russian dressing

>>19839978
Sound like you have never have had a good pea soup and you know there is a 2 michelin star restaurant called aquavit in New York that is based of swedish cuisine

>>19840019
I always associate cottage cheese with salad bars, or as an option to get as a side instead of fries or chips (and I just realized you never see chips in restaurants anymore either). I think the reason it went out of style is because people kind of started to realize that scooping something directly out of a tub onto your plate is kind of weird if you're paying to go out to eat (again, same thing with chips). I do miss those salad bars, though. I'll occasionally buy a can of 3 bean salad because it's something I always used to put on my plate at salad bars. It's not good, but it is nostalgic.

>>19840039
Mexican restaurants all still have chips and they're usually cheap shitty ones, but it's more about the salsa than the chips. A good handmade salsa can save even the shittiest tortilla chip
On that note you can still buy canned split pea soup at least, and it's not particularly difficult to make it yourself. Kind of a shame it's not really in restaurants anymore but it certainly hasn't disappeared off the face of the earth

>>19840047
I was talking about potato chips. Chips at Mexican restaurants are different because they fry them in house and they're typically served warm, so it's not like someone just opened a bag from the grocery store and dumped it next to your sandwich. And yes, you can still buy all of the things that I listed. It's just weird how they just no longer exist on restaurant menus. It makes me think of looking at menus from 100 years ago and how foreign everything seems, and then I realize I'm getting old. At least old people can eat cottage cheese.

>>19840031
>new york
>michelin
>swedish
yeah that's 3 strikes

>>19840057
There's a "fancy" restaurant I go to sometimes that fries their own kettle chips but they don't do anything to flavor or season them, just plain fucking potato fried in oil and they don't even salt them, they're unbelievably bland. Other than that though yeah potato chips aren't really a thing anymore

>>19840073
>don't even salt them
That's pretty fucked up. The last restaurant I worked at we did homemade ruffle type chips (gaufrettes), and we were literally slicing 10-15 pounds of potatoes every day on a mandoline and then cooking them to order. We seasoned them with a salt-pepper-garlic powder blend. Another place I worked we did kettle chips, but we bought them pre-sliced and frozen, and would cook off a huge batch before service. They got seasoned with a generic Old-bay seasoning (it was a seafood restaurant), but I can't for the life of me remember what they were actually served with.

>>19839887
Exactly here in Finland also, every thursday.

>>19839887
It's huge in the Baltic states, in particular Latvia from what I gather. They use the more traditional grey peas for it.

>>19839887
Pea soup is good

>>19839887
Absolutely a thing in Hungary. Either as a normal soup often with carrots and sausage/smoked meat (pic rel), a creamy version or as a very thick stew called főzelék that’s often served with meat on the side.

>>19840811
Cream soup

>>19840818
Forgot pic rel. We used to get this a lot in the school cafetetia and I loved it. It’s great with some roasted onions

>>19840830
And the thicc stew. You can go crazy with toppings, here it’s served with sour cabbage&onions and roasted sausage

peas in water? yeah that's a thing outside sweden you fucking swedish retard.

>>19839887
This dish kills hangovers

>>19839887
very popular in Canada, especially on the Quebec-side. often cooked with cured & smoked ham, and served with a pretty generous amount of salt & black-pepper (sometimes even a bit of tabasco/hot sauce)

>>19840862
>>19840830
>>19840811
Hungarian food always looks great, I'd love to visit someday.

>>19839887
>I'd pea soup popular outside of Sweden?
My Irish mother talks fond memories about split pea soup, especially the day after.
I literally can't remember the last time she actually made it. I never learned how to make it from her.

>>19839887
That’s a nice looking soup OPea.

Not very common anymore in the US, if I’m buying it I like it with bacon but if I’m making it then just a salted pea purée from high quality peas is very tasty.

>>19839899
>>19839959
Yeah, used to be much more popular in the states. I ate a ton when I was a kid.... and I'm old. I have a chunk of left over ham in the freezer and it is getting cold. Time for some split pea soup! Thanks for reminding me OP.

damn. i gotta find a ham shank and stew up a pot of peas real soon.

>>19839887
>I'd peas soup
lol.

Yeah it's common in Newfoundland too. Great hearty bellyfill'r

>>19840031
I wouldn't bring up New York of all places when trying to make a point about quality.

>>19841966
This is a travesty my friend.

>>19839887
>We eat it every Thursday with pancakes afterwards.
No you don't. Now eat your falafel, Sven.

Only real chads and sex-havers know of Pea Soup Andersen's.

>>19841948
Feel free, it’s still somewhat cheap even with all the inflation. Nowadays it’s alsp worth leaving Budapest as there are some very serious restaurants scattered around the countryside

>>19839891
Can you read

>>19839887
My dad used to make it quite often, as well as a cream based ham soup with tons of fennel. Unfortunately it does seem to have fallen off the radar and not just in restaurants and on the kitchen table. Knorr used to make a pea soup mix that was mad decent as both a staple and a survival ration but they don't anymore and it pains me greatly since generally speaking their erbswurst was the best but they almost certainly didn't discontinue it for no reason.

pancakes are always garbage but pea soup varies from edible to god tier

>>19842487
yes, can you lick your elbow

>>19839976
>>19840129
needs mustard

>>19839887
They have it in Quebec. I buy some every time I cross the border

>>19839887
not enough butter on that flatbread, anon.

>>19844221
Looks reasonable to me, butter (most likely a mix of butter and margarine) is expensive

>>19839908
>Chickpeas
Get your glasses, fren.

I make pea soup 3 times a week, is pretty gud and cheap, also mostly fire and forget at least until peas turn into mush after an hour of boiling

Holy shit the amount of rancid farts after thursday in the military. Was almost unbearable. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarts all over the place, that shit can not be good for you even if its eatable.

>>19845697
washing peas before cooking and skimming the foam really helps to reduce farts
