ITV Granada Reports. Parched Peas!
 

Anyone else just hear Granada Reports' Fred refer to Black Peas as Parched Peas? Am I missing a name change here or is this another PC gone mad!

Parched peas always went down well with me with a touch of salt and vineger or in a bag with salt. one of the few that have disappered over the years.....The last time I went to Clitheroe Sunday Market they sold them there and they sell them on the easter fare at Blackburn.
