- How to boil up a lovely bit of gammon and make delicious pea and ham soup from the resultant stock
A word of caution about gammon. I had a mate who worked in an abattoir (slaughterhouse), and he said the one thing he would under no circumstances eat again was the "formed" gammon they sell in supermarkets - it's scraps rolled together in a ball and made to look like "gammon". It's disgusting and nothing like the real thing. I get mine from Dave, the egg and cheese guy at Tewkesbury market. He slices it up and packs it himself and it's excellent, real and cheap. I get eggs and cheese from him too - just compare the prices and the quality.
Dunno what happened to my mate who worked in the abattoir - last I heard he and his Mrs were living on a boat and he was washing down 747s at Heathrow for a living!
Is that a metric or imperial "shitload" of peas? :)
Lol

Get yourself a deep wok mate if you are making soup in an open pan. Much easier.
I've made this quite a few times now and it's awesome. Thanks for sharing Simon, would love to see more vids like this!
Thanks Liam - glad you’re enjoying it.
Great Video. Maybe the next one try and keep the eating noises down a bit as there was some chomping going on at 7:45. I also loved the comedy with the liquidiser. Keep it up!!
Bless you hope your feeling much better now 💙
Between the Campbell's Soup and processed cereals, my mother made great homemade food. We peeled and chopped, set the table and cleaned, but she also found ways for us to cook together as well, and not just cakes, pies and cookies, which was great too. I realize what she gave us is invaluable. Glad to see you're in a good place now. I'm going to look for that ham but here in America I don't know where I'll find it. I lived in England when I was a teen and it was the butcher, baker and Sainsburys (never Harrods) for us and lots and lots of New Zealand lamb and bread and butter pudding as a treat. Whoever said English cooking is terrible never cooked English food. I miss English sausage.
How interesting! The last time I was in the US, in Winchester, Virginia, I was well impressed by the sheer amount of food you got for your money - in particular I remember a massive tray of fruit that we bought from one of the big chains for $5! I wasn’t so impressed by the quality of the food from the big chains, like Red Lobster, for instance. Here in Tewkesbury we are lucky to have two excellent butchers, who both make their own sausages, of which I am extremely fond, but have to limit my intake due to waistline issues!
@@zimondye Don't I know it! Sadly, inflation is taking care of my waistline now. We're working on a change. Cheers!

Would be cheaper using green split peas. :)
Very true
But it really does look beautiful. Frozen peas are very economical and I like to eat them frozen as a snack.
Great video thanks
Thank you!
Thank you, very good video, well explained, clear to follow up.
Very helpful video :) Thank you for sharing this with us. I love Pea and Ham soup
Pleasure! Shame I screwed the liquidiser together wrong, but I hope people can still follow along. Thank you
You can’t beat making good old fashioned grub. I bought a gammon hock today and I’ve just cooked it in the instant pot with bay leaves, black peppercorns and cloves so I’m going to make your lovely soup tomorrow... if there is any left because sticky ham is as addictive as crack.
Great video 😊👍
Thank you! Yes, when it’s cooled down a little and starts to go sticky - I find it a bit too irresistible to be honest 😁
Simon Dyer It’s come out beautifully. Thanks 😊
Brilliant video 👍
Thanks!
Bless you❤️I'm so sorry to hear what you went through, I hope life continues to get better for you❤️ thanks for the upload👍
