I can tell that those of you that don't eat/like green peas did not grow up in a household like the one that I grew up in. Not liking something was never an option. As a matter of fact, Over time, I grew to like them. Split pea soup with ham is now one of my favorites.

We had options in our house.  Stay at the dinner table until you finished it, have it for breakfast the next morning or go hungry.  I quickly realized the last one was not an option for me.

Split Pea soup with some hocks is a very fine soup.  Might have to look into that this week.  Will never find hocks, but do have some ham!

If you have a Winco in your area,they carry great ham hocks

We had to try something once and some things (like liver and onions) weren't optional.  But I think Mom realized that having a kid not eat peas was preferably to having a kid upchuck peas at the dinner table.

What did you end up doing for the dinner? Starting to think about St. Patrick's Day and corned beef!

We did a corn beef hash -- had more potatoes in it than normal and also added some sautéed onions and corn to stretch it. Also had canned peaches as a side. We fed 186 meals that day. Pretty good for only having 2 corned beef that weighted about 32 lbs raw.

Great job! That's a lot of folks and a good budget friendly meal.
