my dad gave me some grey peas recently, and told me how to make good old fashion gray pazs and bercon!!(slang for grey peas and bacon, spoken true black country style! i made them how he told me too, and they tasted great! does anyone else do these still, or have you tried them yourself? you could even tell me how you yourself personally cook this old fashion meal. does anyone else have old fashioned cooked recipes, that they would like to share? i would find this quite interesting. thanks.

Making me hungry reading this.. Can you E-Mail the recipe as would like to try it. Always looking for new idea's

Groaty Pudding or Groaty Dick 0.5 lb groats 1 bay leaf (optional) 1.5 lbs shin of beef Hot water to cover 1lb leeks Salt and Pepper 2 medium sized onions Cut the beef into bite-size pieces, slice the leeks and onions. Place all the ingredients in a stew jar or casserole dish and bake slowly for at least three hours, longer if possible. Serve with crusty bread. A thicker version of this, with more groats and less meat, was all some families could afford. It was spread on bread so that each member could have something warm and filling. ( groats are oats with the husks removed but before they are ground to produce oatmeal or steamed then rolled to make rolled oats or flakes. Groats have the highest nutritional value of any cereal.) my favourite old recipe
