Lancashire Parched Peas

Black badgers have been grown in Britain for at least 500 years. Also known as maple or carlin peas, black badgers are traditionally eaten in the north of England, particularly Lancashire, where they are served ‘parched’ (cooked and oven dried or soaked in vinegar) on bonfire night and Passion Sunday.
