I just bought a pease pudding
I am nonplussed. What does one do with a pease pudding?

Eat it.
Ask someone from Newcastle, they'll know.

Do what it says on the tin.
Don't eat it for pudding (dessert). Serve it with a savoury main course such as sausages, pies, etc. It's basically like mushy peas but more mushy. It comes as one solid mass and each individual pea cannot be discerned.

It doesn't have a tin
hence my confusion. I deduced from the ingredients (water, yellow split peas, salt and pepper) that if I had expected a sweet delight I would have had a bewildering disappointment.

I've had my tea already. I was thinking about eating it out of the tub with a spoon, to accompany the sauvignon blanc I have already started. Is this acceptable northern etiquette?

It may well be

haha
Being a proper northerner, I make my own pease pudding!
It's traditionally served in a ham sarnie, preferably proper quality ham FRESH OFF THE BONE. The bread should be a stottie cake.

Mmm. I'm not a great lover of ham
but the stuff off the bone is glorious.

I tried it once
and it was unappealing in every way. Taste, texture, colour...but most specifically colour. I've never seen or eaten something that was so wilfully beige.
Not to make you feel disheartened or anything...

It is indeed beige.
The colour of baby poo, or Hearing Aid Beige.

and make pease puddin' pops.

Shape it into a patty
And fry it in some butter (preferably) or whatever else you use (yuk). Put it in a bun and eat it. Otherwise treat it as an indigenous form of hummus and add garlic etc.

I et
about half of it at lunch time with a spoon. I like the way the top is smooth and a bit harder than the rest of it, like baby food. It tastes exactly like you'd expect a puree of yellow split peas with salt and pepper to taste.

I shall indeed try frying the rest of it. That'll do for tea.
