Pease pudding hot - the origins of the lyrics based on a
traditional British dish
The pease pudding referred to in the lyrics of this nursery rhyme
is a dish which is still enjoyed in Britain today. It is a smooth,
thick sauce, (referred to as a pudding in the rhyme for the sake
of alliteration) which has a dark yellow colour and is made from
dried peas. Pease pudding is traditionally served hot with boiled
bacon or a form of sausage called a saveloy.
