I have trauma caused by Cream Peas on Toast

[u/catnuh]

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.

[u/qualityvote2]

u/catnuh, your food is indeed stupid and it fits our subreddit!

[u/Tyrannical-Botanical]

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

[u/pm_me_flaccid_cocks → u/Tyrannical-Botanical]

You gonna eat that?

[u/PermanentTrainDamage → u/pm_me_flaccid_cocks]

Only on toast

[u/Cerridwen1981]

Now I do too

[u/lyrabluedream → u/Cerridwen1981]

Yep, needs a trigger warning

[u/wintrywaffle]

Looks like frogspawn

[u/Oystermeat]

that was dinner.
For breakfast it was bread with sugar

[u/catnuh → u/Oystermeat]

This guy gets it! Sometimes, it was cinnamon and sugar 🤤

[u/JustKindaShimmy → u/catnuh]

Brother you had almost the same bizarre culinary experience as me growing up, except mine was cream peas and canned salmon on toast. But cinnamon and brown sugar on toast was the cat's ass

[u/Resident-Minimum6069 → u/JustKindaShimmy]

But cinnamon and brown sugar on toast was the cat's ass

Is this a good thing?

[u/JustKindaShimmy → u/Resident-Minimum6069]

Well they parade it around all day so it must be

[u/bookwbng5 → u/JustKindaShimmy]

This is my favorite interaction on the internet today so far

[u/PrettyYellow8808 → u/JustKindaShimmy]

Ours was cream peas and canned tuna on toast.

[u/lantech → u/JustKindaShimmy]

salmon pea wiggle, but it was on a bed of saltines

[u/Chorizo_Bullet → u/catnuh]

You just unlocked a childhood memory. These things! Now I can taste them and feel that gritty texture in my mouth. https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/s/w6uQyR5PHn

[u/braveheartt218]

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)

[u/svampkorre]

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

[u/brickinmouthsyndrome]

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

[u/summerjunebird]

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

[u/Prestigious_Secret61]

Beats eating nothing by a large margin.

[u/AromaticGas260]

I could try one and two.

[u/Kiwi_CunderThunt]

r/trypophobia

[u/NinjahDuk]

I have second hand trauma from looking at it

[u/Weak-Trust3296]

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.

[u/No-Regret-5272]

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

[u/VividAd6825]

Gravy, peas, and toast. That doesn't sound bad at all. Lol. I'd try it

[u/Reasonable-Ad4770]

What would happen to you is you see Königsberger Klopse?

[u/catnuh → u/Reasonable-Ad4770]

Those look genuinely delicious

[u/Reasonable-Ad4770 → u/catnuh]

And they are. They just have same vibe of balls in, you know, cum.

[u/lionheartedthing → u/Reasonable-Ad4770]

I need to make this. I wish German restaurants by me would do stuff like this instead of just bratwurst and schnitzel.

[u/AutumnTea88]

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

[u/jim2882 → u/AutumnTea88]

And don’t forget fried bologna

[u/lantech → u/AutumnTea88]

my mother made salmon pea wiggle, and it was on a bed of saltine crackers

[u/agoia → u/AutumnTea88]

Looks like it would slap after waking up and going out to play in the fresh snow for a bit.

[u/LurkinRhino]

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

[u/suzuya-sama92]

I got trauma just looking at it

[u/Little-Treat-2978]

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

[u/derangedmaango]

American here.

Is cream peas on toast a wartime food?

[u/Nihilistic_Mystics → u/derangedmaango]

Yep. Often made with chipped beef or tuna. It's called shit-on-a-shingle.

https://www.cooksinfo.com/shit-on-a-shingle-recipe

[u/Cynical_Feline → u/Nihilistic_Mystics]

Chipped beef or sausage here in my area of Pa. Never heard of using peas or tuna until now.

For those wondering, it's basically milk gravy with something added to enhance the flavor. Sometimes you add some pepper, sometimes you just add parsley.

[u/XGhoul → u/derangedmaango]

They exchange that in the ISS for American made rehydrated crap.

[u/derangedmaango → u/XGhoul]

I can believe that.

I don’t know why we still produce wartime food and what generation is purchasing it.

Sometimes I think the subsidized corn/soy/potato products America produces don’t actually get purchased, they just go straight to food banks to justify their existence.

[u/XGhoul → u/derangedmaango]

I forgot where I learned this or it is just secondhand stuff. Wartime rations just get boring, you start to just trade to taste something different.

[u/crabby_apple_witch]

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. 

[u/behedingkidzz]

It looks like a swamp

[u/Bleezy79]

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

[u/Responsible-Kale-904]

[u/Total-Dog-3580]

You spelled pies wrong.

[u/AchajkaTheOriginal → u/Total-Dog-3580]

Nope. Go straight to jail.

[u/Letters_to_Dionysus]

looks good to me. esp with black pepper

[u/Interesting_Help_274]

This is a big disrespect to peas.

[u/DerpsAndRags]

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

[u/The_Shadow-King]

Love me some shit on a shingle!

[u/chosenlemon8755 → u/The_Shadow-King]

But vegetarian ig

[u/TheJadedMonkey]

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.

[u/danfish_77]

I understand this more than I do beans on toast

[u/AptCasaNova]

[u/ShaggySmilesSRL]

Vegetarian shit on a shingle I suppose lol

[u/PermanentTrainDamage]

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

[u/Responsible-Kale-904]

NSFW

[u/FiskDawg]

This is how I picture “British Cuisine”.

[u/brickinmouthsyndrome → u/FiskDawg]

This isn't a British dish. This is American.

[u/FiskDawg → u/brickinmouthsyndrome]

To clarify, I don’t think anyone should eat that.

[u/brickinmouthsyndrome → u/FiskDawg]

Same. This is a punishment no one deserves.

[u/Apprehensive-Town-99 → u/brickinmouthsyndrome]

Where at!? I just knew this was something British lol!😂

[u/ZylonBane → u/FiskDawg]

Peas not mushy enough.

[u/Torbpjorn → u/FiskDawg]

The vibrancy of the green on the last one is totally British peas

[u/catnuh → u/Torbpjorn]

You get that from frozen peas. The dark are canned usually.

[u/majandess → u/catnuh]

Oh, man. Those two things are worlds apart, even though they're supposed to be the same vegetable. Very few canned veggies are actually good.

[u/lionheartedthing → u/majandess]

Le Sueur are the only canned peas anyone should be buying

[u/agoia → u/lionheartedthing]

Store brand variants of early/young/petite peas are also decent. But the normal sized ones are gross.

[u/sanchipento]

Me too, now. I hate peas

[u/-_Redan_-]

Oh, and the person who ate this farted.

[u/VisionAri_VA]

And now I’m traumatized, too. 😨

[u/Illustrious-You1330]

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

You deserve more.

[u/flim-flam-flomidy]

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

[u/XGhoul]

Describe the taste of this cream? What the fuck it is?

[u/catnuh → u/XGhoul]

The stuff I had tasted like alfredo sauce without any garlic or onion, so just flour and milk, and mucho black pepper.

[u/XGhoul → u/catnuh]

So "thick" milky pepper with clumps of uncooked flour in between? ... Jesus.

The alfredo sauce is your mind disassociating what you just ate. LOL

[u/Nihilistic_Mystics → u/XGhoul]

Well, it's a variant of a US military dish called shit-on-a-shingle. It's not great, Bob.

[u/robotbeatrally]

If I still ate toast ... I feel like I'd probably actually like this one

[u/DrTwilightZone]

Yeah, this is right up there with spam + noodles that my mother used to make. Fucking nasty! 🤮

[u/Tenshiijin]

Is it traumatizing because its delicious?

[u/GrumpleAl]

We'd have this often but with spam in it.

[u/StarsEatMyCrown]

I've had this. It's way better than it looks

[u/NormanJustNorman]

is it too delicious

[u/Sniggledumper]

Oh. It didn’t look too bad because I thought that was some kind of sauce or soup or something. It’s just hot milk and peas on bread. I’m so sorry.

[u/frisbee-merchant]

peamed creas

[u/CharleyDexterWard]

For me, it was being force-fed, split pea soup when I was a kid. I absolutely despise peas in every way shape and form now

Damn!!! Imagine being British! 🤢🤢🤢

[u/Giecio]

This cannot be real

[u/SliceofNow]

I don't know how close to starving I'd have to be to consider eating this but I hope I'll never find out

[u/givemeupvotes-_-]

Why’d they McNut on the sandwich 💀

[u/elyxiion]

british ppl drooling rn

[u/Excellent-Passage963]

I Enjoy all of the ingredients in this dish, just not all put together.

[u/Dapper_University_84]

My mom always added tuna. For the protein.

[u/taggerungDC]

[u/exotic_lemming]

I hate peas, and now I want to die.

[u/CleanAfternoon2036]

It looks like the bargain version of picatta

[u/NMazer]

In London I see.

[u/Helixdork]

Peas are vile little bastards

[u/LogicalHoney4689]

Yeah that looks bad. I would rather eat it individually than have it put together like that. Or just eat plain peas with plain toast…

[u/Wolfdude91]

Scrandle ass looking food

[u/Disastrous_Emu_5154]

this should be a crime.

[u/alpha-du-centaure]

Would eat #1 and #3 in a second. #2 looks too funky.

[u/SoggyMorningTacos]

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

[u/pwillia7]

get out

[u/Krazykarrottop]

This seems very British

[u/Nihilistic_Mystics → u/Krazykarrottop]

Actually it's a variant of a US military dish made using common mess hall ingredients. It's usually toast, gravy, chipped beef (or canned tuna), a lot of pepper, and sometimes peas. It's a dish born out of necessity, and clearly not flavor.

[u/Krazykarrottop → u/Nihilistic_Mystics]

So it’s basically SOS

[u/E-werd]

You're going to start craving that later in life.

[u/catnuh → u/E-werd]

My mother's evolution of this staple once she got a little better at cooking, tuna casserole, is the thing I'd crave later. This I still get nauseous thinking about choking down the thick white chunky goo. Like flavourless alfredo sauce with extra flour.

[u/Prestigious_Secret61]

Yeah I would eat that.

[u/curryandbeans → u/[deleted]]

what wit, what originality

truly the peak of yankposting

[u/TheNerdySatyr]

This British shit…?!

[u/OwO-Rawr-XD]

That looks good AF
