The Story Behind The Recipe
I am reminded of my first welcoming bowl of this sort of nourishment on a foggy, clammy day in London. You can ask me the name of the pub where I consumed this scrummy sustenance, I have no idea. The creamy, hammy potage served with a piece of dry toast and a shandy* were all that were needed to chase the dampness from my tour-weary bones. There is a neighborhood pub on every corner, most of which have split pea soup on the luncheon menu alongside ever-present plates of bangers and mash. As a peckish 16-year-old, I was so busy absorbing all the sites and scenes I had experienced that morning that it never occurred to me to look at the sign hanging outside before pushing through the door to immediate warmth and comfort.
