Given that this is a rather odd Latin name, and that I've seen a couple of misprints in scientific papers where a space between cajan and the English word "was" is omitted, e.g. "... standard petal of Cajanus cajanwas indented ..., "air-dried bark (1.0 kg) of Cajanus cajanwas collected", "Cajanus cajanwas ploughed and harrowed", I have the ...
A variant (particularly popular around Bolton and Bury of Greater Manchester, and Preston, Lancashire) is parched peas – carlin peas (also known as maple peas or black peas) soaked and then boiled slowly for a long time; these peas are traditionally served with vinegar. Mushy peas have occasionally been referred to as "Yorkshire caviar." [3]
The dried peas are soaked overnight and simmered to produce a type of mushy pea. Parching is a now-defunct term for long slow boiling. [2] The peas are field peas, left to dry on the plant, as distinct from garden peas, picked green for fresh consumption.
A popular variation [3] [4] of the black-eyed pea is the purple hull pea or mud-in-your-eye pea; it is usually green with a prominent purple or pink spot. The currently accepted botanical name for the black-eyed pea is Vigna unguiculata subsp. unguiculata , [ 5 ] although previously it was classified in the genus Phaseolus .
Pease pudding is featured in a nursery rhyme, "Pease Porridge Hot". [8] The song "Food, Glorious Food" from the 1960s West End and Broadway musical (and 1968 film) Oliver! has a lyric extolling pease pudding. In The Princess and the Goblin, Curdie takes bread and pease pudding with him for sustenance when he goes to spy on the King's house. [9]
Lathyrus japonicus, the sea pea, beach pea, circumpolar pea or sea vetchling, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae, native to temperate coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere, and Argentina. It is a herbaceous perennial growing trailing stems 50–80 cm (20–31 in) long, typically on sand and gravel storm beaches.
An edible-podded pea is similar to a garden, or English, pea, but the pod is less fibrous, and is edible when young. Pods of the edible-podded pea, including snap peas, do not have a membrane and do not open when ripe. At maturity, the pods grow to around 4 to 8 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 3 inches) in length. Pods contain three to nine peas.
