February 16: Shrove Monday (pea soup)
Greet the beginning of Carnival on Shrove Monday! This holiday occurs the Monday before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Carnival before people become more contemplative and less indulgent for Lent. In Cornwall, pea soup is the dish of choice for Shrove Monday.
Pea soup also includes split pea soup, although the version consumed for Shrove Monday will not include ham. Dishfolio food bloggers discovered this soup recipe dates back to 500 to 400 B.C. when the Greeks first cultivated peas. Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Britain, and even the United States all have their own interpretations of it which are well-represented in these online food recipes. Take advantage of this tradition to make a filling vegetarian meal that also offers the advantages of a winter comfort food!
