You finally posted something that I just won’t eat. Ever. I tried it once and it was awful. Apparently it’s an acquired taste and I didn’t acquire that taste.
Have a lovely day my friend. Big hugs. Hello to Tammy. ♥♥♥

As a kid, I hated pea soup! I didn’t like the texture. But as an adult, it is one of my favorites. I’ve never made it, so I’m going to pin yours!
