My parents used to make this monstrosity of a dish multiple times a week. It was like eating peas and glue. When my father made it there was always more black pepper than peas.

This is the reason I'm good at cooking now.

    That looks like something my dog would hork up in the middle of the night.

    What would happen to you is you see Königsberger Klopse?

  3. Oystermeat

    that was dinner.
    For breakfast it was bread with sugar

  4. Letters_to_Dionysus

    looks good to me. esp with black pepper

    Nothing like a bit of slimy toad skin in the morning!

    just looks like peas gravy n toast, reminds me of like “””poor people food””” in the south (that is not an insult i eat such food with no qualms)

    I like that the advert under the post is for Weight Watchers…. Don’t worry, I just lost my fucking breakfast looking at this.

    If my dad’s paycheck was big enough that week, we’d even put little ham cubes in it.

    Thrown on a breakfast patty on there or a banger sausage and that’s good eating

    Creamed peas on toast is actually good once in a blue moon. I have only had it using canned peas

    Post like this makes me wish my mom was still here to tell her, Thank you for being a food lover and a damn good cook. Even when we struggled she could make a delicious meal out of nothing. Rip my culinary queen

    Seems like the perfect side dish for Shit on a Shingle.

    Aw I love cream peas on toast. We called it “pea wiggle” when I was growing up in New England.

    My grandmother made this all the time but it also had a can of tuna in it. Tuna fish and peas still haunts me to this day.

    I still remember the day I asked my grandma what we were having for dinner and she said with a straight face, “shit on a shingle”. Got to be one the worst names for a dish. That said, it is somewhat nostalgic and I am vegetarian now so this could work.

    My mom did this. It was tuna, peas, mushroom soup, and toast. Oddly enough we loved it. The joys of growing up broke.

  17. You’re going to start craving that later in life.

    Beats eating nothing by a large margin.

    I understand this more than I do beans on toast

    American here.

    Is cream peas on toast a wartime food?

    I feel sorry for you… But it’s great to know you’re good at cooking!

    You deserve more.

    This heavily reminds me of what my grandpa used to eat called “shit on a shingle”. I was not a fan. This somehow seems worse. The second picture really does look like frog eggs. 

  23. flim-flam-flomidy

    I don’t wanna hear anyone shitting in beans and toast again after learning this exists

  24. ShaggySmilesSRL

    Vegetarian shit on a shingle I suppose lol

  25. PermanentTrainDamage

    I love creamed peas, chipped beef can rot in hell though

  26. Describe the *taste* of this cream? What the fuck it is?

  27. This is one of those “tastes better than it looks” dishes though. Almost anything tastes good on top of buttered toast.

  28. robotbeatrally

    If I still ate toast … I feel like I’d probably actually like this one
