They are effectively slow boiled black peas, served with salt and vinegar.... They are served hot on a cold November night while stood around a fire.
Pulled from Wiki: Black peas, also called parched peas or maple peas, form a traditional Lancashire dish served often on or around Bonfire Night (5 November). The dish, popular in Rochdale, Oldham, Wigan, Bury and Bolton, is made from the purple podded pea (Pisum sativum var. arvense) which is long soaked overnight and simmered to produce a type of mushy pea. Parching is a now defunct term for long slow boiling.
