My mother made dough boys for us and I just realized dough boys came from my grandmother who was from Newfoundland!! Have to tell my sister. She will love this!!
Hi Joyce, That is so wonderful, we call then here in NL doughboys and on the East coast like Nova Scotia, PEI call them dumplings. This is my moms favourite soup and she loves her doughboys. If I make this soup and leave out the doughboys she would complain......lol......Enjoy to the fullest and we have lot's of delicious soup recipes and a dessert with doughboys called blueberry doughboy dessert!!!! th-cam.com/video/9NX5_Th5O74/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eWxLKVKVOOU-8oiR Enjoy Bonita
OMG Bonita, this brings a rush of memories! My husband graduated from MUN in the early 90's and I was a NICU nurse at the Janeway. We were newlyweds at the time. Being cfa'a, Newfoundland pea soup became an all-time favorite. I didn't know how to make my own though. One day, my friend had a couple of her old aunties visiting from out around the bay. I figured I could get some pointers from them on making pea soup. I asked them for a receipe and they just looked at each other and had a good old laugh! "There's no receipe for pea soup. You just make it" After a bit of coaxing I managed to get a rudimentary outline of what I needed to do. First pot I attempted needed to be thrown out! I used salt beef and didn't realize that you had to pre boil it and change the water. It was sooo salty!! Second pot was much better. I've been making it ever since. Now I use pickled pork hawks though. Sure wish I'd had your instruction back then. Love your channel and love your accent. We live in Nova Scotia now but still miss our years in St John's when things were much simpler for us. So much of what you cook is similar to my PEI upbringing. Thanks for all your down home advice.

We love our visits to your kitchen, thank you.

Every Newfoundland family has their own way of making pea soup, our family used whole peas, no celery, no ham, and potatoes were full size. Doughboys can be "dunch" ( tough and soggy if batter overworked) or right fluffy if done right. Your pea soup looks some good! You should have a tv show my dear, on CBC or NTV, so come from always can learn the local foods.
Valerie Mercer thank you so much for your lovely message and kind words, I do agree the more we get the proper Traditional Newfoundland Recipes out there for people to enjoy the better our cultural foods get represented and more people can get to enjoy them. Thanks Bonita
You are very welcome Ruby, you can't have peas soup without dough boys, that makes the meal. Enjoy to the fullest and thank you for stopping by. :) Bonita
We call those dumplings and make chicken and dumplings (yum!) This is the first time I have seen them in split pea soup but it looks delicious! I can't wait to try :)
Bonita, thank you very much. Liked and subscribed. About to serve up some pea soup right now as the snow falls. Made with fresh veggies from my little garden in St. John's with home made bread! (I made soup w/out the doughboys).
Nice! Thank you for letting me know and for subscribing to our channel. There is nothing like a good feed of homemade peas soup. Maybe next time you will make the doughboys they are so tasty. Have a wonderful day. :) Bonita

Oh my how wonderful, I'm so glad you are going to make our peas soup recipe. You will do amazing and it will bring back all those beautiful memories of your mom and grandma. We lived in the NWT for 30 years we loved there, we plan on going back this summer to visit some friends.My husband spent some time travelling through nunavut with work for the GNWT he loved flying in to the communities and everything looked so peaceful. Let me know how you did with your soup and have a Happy Valentine's Day :) Bonita

Hi Martin: Thank you for sharing this lovely message and say hi to her for me and thank her for watching our cooking shows. Stay safe and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
Welcome and thank you for stopping by and leaving a message, this is a lovely peas soup and can be made with the green split peas as well if you don't have access to the yellow, it tastes the same. Enjoy Bonita
OMG! I just finished making this and WOW!!! I used leftover spiral ham from a previous crockpot recipe. Amazing! Thank you for posting this. Brings me back to my travels to Newfoundland ❤😁👏
Hi Nancy: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm glad you made and enjoyed this soup. Peas soup is one of my must popular soups and it is so easy to make and ever so delicious. I'm glad my recipe gave you some found memories of your travels to Newfoundland. :) Bonita
Hi Jane, Thank you so much for your message and for enjoying our recipes. Here in NL we only make this recipe plain with salt and pepper. But I always give people the option if they like more then those two ingredients you can add some chopped basil, parsley or chives. This will give it another flavour and a way to enjoy this old fashion peas soup recipe. Enjoy :) Bonita
See sometimes all you need is for someone to remind you of our beautiful recipes. We love making anything leftover from our leftovers and turning it into another meal. :) ENJOY and it saves you money. :) Bonita
This pea soup looks great, I grew up with it in Newfoundland and miss it now that I live far away. I can't wait to try it. Just a note for your recipes, what I grew up calling just "turnip" was actually rutabaga turnip, and I discovered this the hard way when I first moved to the mainland and tried cooking a jigs dinner with a mainland "turnip" (white turnip is quite bitter and doesn't taste as good as the yellow rutabaga does). Keep up the good work with your TH-cam videos!
Karen Scott hi and you are very welcome, I'm glad you are enjoying my videos and recipes. I remember when we lived away for almost 30 years and not having access to a lot of ingredients and foods to make a down home meal. I also remember buying a turnip that was white and very bitter, but that's a good point and thanks for your message and enjoy this recipe I make it at less one a week. Bonita
Tina simon thank you so much that mean a lot, I love making peas soup. I usually make it every week and store in the fridge to have and also give has gifts. 😊 Bonita
Thank you Gordon for stopping by and leaving a message, greetings from Newfoundland and I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe for Peas soup and doughboys. :) Bonita
Omg I can't wait to try this, we had a housekeeper when I was younger who used to make stew with doughboys, it's been 40 years since I had them! My father used to make his pea soup with a ham hock. Great channel.
Hi and thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, this recipe for peas soup and doughboys is so delicious. I make a boiler of this soup once a month and bottle them to have some anytime. I also have a beef stew and pastry recipe and video on this channel if you like to check it out. Enjoy Bonita
One of the best soups ever. This video really made me hungry. I have a really hard time making it in Alberta - just can’t get the peas to boil out. Tried soaking them overnight and all day, cooking them right from the bag, water from the tap and water from the filter.
Hi Will: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, that sounds terrible I have never ran into that problem before. Sounds like the split peas are bad or something, the next time you visiting the east coast toss a couple packs of yellow split peas in your luggage. This soup is my families favourite too and I never have leftovers. :) BONITA
If you are at a high altitude it can take longer to cook because water boils at a lower temperature. Use a pressure cooker or Instant Pot and everything will cook quicker.
Thank you, Bonita! I absolutely love peas soup and the video made me so hungry! I will be making it just like in the video. And those doughboys. Perfect! :)
That is wonderful Pauline, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This is my sons favourite soup as well, thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel. :) Bonita
that looks great Bonita! They are similar to the dumplings that I make but yours look lighter and fluffier as mine have egg in them. I'll try your recipe next time!
Thank you so much I haven't had this in years since my dad was alive back home so now I'm making it for my 3 kids and wife they have never had it . There gonna be in for a treat . I know the jigs dinner broth would be better but is vegetable broth better than beef broth if that's the way I make it ? Again thank you so much for this video your awesome
Bonnie Brocklehurst Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I can remember when I was a child my Dad would eat his that way. So many delicious ways to enjoy peas soup and my Mom enjoys her soup with a piece of homemade bread and the peas soup over the top. Bonita
Get those dumplings in the soup and whether you like yellow or green split pea soup, Try this recipe from Bonita's kitchen, you will be amazed , It tastes Delicious ,with capital " D ". !👍👍👍
Hi Steve: Thank you so much, I'm so glad you are enjoying my peas soup recipe. This is my youngest sons favourite and no matter how many times you make this soup it will taste lovely every time. Plus thank you for the big shout out here on youtube, Enjoy. :) Bonita

Hi Lucy: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I hope you subscribed to my channel and every time I post a new video you will be notified. This peas soup is to good to eat, I make it at less once a week. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend. :) Bonita
I've made pea soup for years using a ham bone or ham hocks. The only vegetable I ever added was chopped onion. Everybody loved my soup but now I'll have to try it with the additional vegetables. Never thought of putting dumplings in the soup, I make turkey and dumplings with turkey legs or chicken and dumplings. I do add carrots and celery to those dishes. I'm really not a good cook, I just like to read recipes.
That is so wonderful, thank you for letting me know and for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed our peas soup recipe and let me know what you think. :) Bonita
I'm glad you enjoyed our peas soup recipe, its funny you don't like peas pudding. But if you made peas pudding you can turn it into soup if you wish. This is our link th-cam.com/video/M3AUQjJ51F8/w-d-xo.html thank you for stopping by and stay safe. Bonita
Hello Bonita thank you so much for posting Newfoundland recipes, I'm a westerner but live near a lot of "newfies" and like their traditional food. I have two questions #1 can I use pickled pork riblets instead of the beef and ham, and do I need to soak and drain that to get some of the salt off? And #2 how long is the soup good for in the fridge after it's been sealed in the bottles (jars) ?
Treasure Cooper Hi and thank you for your message and questions, I'm glad you are enjoying our traditional recipes. To answer your first question yes you can use pickled pork ribs and yes you will need to soak for at less 4 hours or put then in the cold water in the morning and drain the water off after work and start the boiling first with the pork for about half hour then add the peas. Next question, bottle the hot soup and your are sure it will seal and the let it cool totally, label and date and they will be good in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks. I hope that helps and thank you once again for visiting my channel. Enjoy Bonita
Yes and yes! Of course rutabaga is what we used in this tasty soup but here in Newfoundland and Labrador we call them turnips. Of course we know the difference but that's what we grow up with knowing. The dough boys is the same as dumplings but we call them dough boys....:) Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy our soup recipe and all our recipes to the fullest. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen I'm a new subscriber and I'm so enjoying your channel! I've already made your sweet and sour meatballs with rice and it was amazing!! I can'twait to make the pea soup and dough boys 😊 thanks for getting back to me and for sharing your traditional east coast food...love and blessings from BC ❤
Hi Roberta: I'm thinking you live in the states, because when we were in florida I couldn't get yellow split peas and I bought the green and they taste the same. We love peas soup in our family, green or yellow it don't matter. In Newfoundland Canada we can get both. This is a lovely recipe and the dough boys are so good. I hope that helps. Bonita
Hi Lorraine: Thank you for your question and for stopping by, after your soup is done place the dough boys in along the top and put the cover back on boiler. Then steam/boil for 5 minutes on one side then flip them and the same on the other side. Enjoy Bonita
I just found your channel while researching Duff recipes. I was hoping to try your soup recipe this week--we are helping my mother in law with her travel club next weekend, showing pictures of our trip to Newfoundland, and making a couple of NL recipes to share. The group is vegetarian, and I'm sure the salt beef and ham adds delicious flavor, but is there a way to make it vegetarian and still tasty? How much salt would you recommend adding in?
Hi Kate: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, just checking first to see if you are going to make the full bag of split yellow peas. If so use vegetable broth and about 1/2 teaspoon or more of sea salt to the broth or stock in your boiler with your split peas. Building flavours without using meat of any type, also after your peas soup is almost done chop up some of the celery leaves and parsley to put over the top and stir in with the peas soup. This will taste so good, enjoy to the fullest and don't forget to subscribe so you can get a notification each time we post a new video. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Thank you so much for your response--yes, I'll be using the full bag of peas. The celery leaves and parsley sound like a tasty addition--thank you!
No but they are two similar beefs, one is salted with course salt and the other got peppercorns and more seasonings. If you don't have access to salted beef use a ham bone of pieces of ham. Enjoy Bonita
Thank you Paul for your message and feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe for Peas soup and Doughboys. This is a old video but a tasty recipe, we have invested and upgraded our videoing equipment seen this video. But we have over 300 plus videos and a third of them is old and not clear or the sound is bad. But again the recipes are tasty and so easy to follow. This in one of our NEWER videos and I will share our website if you wish to look for a recipe. th-cam.com/video/09nlH8WhdAE/w-d-xo.html corned beef casserole, www.bonitaskitchen.com website. :) Enjoy Bonita
Here in Canada you can get yellow split peas, but they taste the same as the green split peas. I've made the soup with both before, when we visit the states all I can find is the green split peas. This is a lovely easy recipe to follow and its so delicious. Enjoy Bonita
@@KitKat-wc1kn Haha thats to funny, it would have been a good one if they all started to pop in the boiler. :) I'm sure they do grow that way, they are not coloured. But they taste the same. :) Enjoy Bonita
Hi Howard: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I drain the soaked water off the peas because you don't need that extra starch. My Mom would always say soaking your peas over night takes away some of the gas effect it makes afterwards. :) I hope this answers your question and you make this delicious peas soup with doughboys, it is a lovely soup. Enjoy and have a lovely day. Bonita
haha you are so sweet, I'm sure we can work something out. I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe for peas soup and doughboys, we have over 250 recipes and videos available here and www.bonitaskitchen.com if you are looking for more tasty meals. :) Enjoy Bonita

Hi Jane, Thank you so much for your message and for enjoying our recipes. Here in NL we only make this recipe plain with salt and pepper. But I always give people the option if they like more then those two ingredients you can add some chopped basil, parsley or chives. This will give it another flavour and a way to enjoy this old fashion peas soup recipe. Enjoy :) Bonita
Lovely! Many thanks! My mother made lots of pea soup but I never thought about using the leftover broth from corned beef.
See sometimes all you need is for someone to remind you of our beautiful recipes. We love making anything leftover from our leftovers and turning it into another meal. :) ENJOY and it saves you money. :) Bonita
This pea soup looks great, I grew up with it in Newfoundland and miss it now that I live far away. I can't wait to try it. Just a note for your recipes, what I grew up calling just "turnip" was actually rutabaga turnip, and I discovered this the hard way when I first moved to the mainland and tried cooking a jigs dinner with a mainland "turnip" (white turnip is quite bitter and doesn't taste as good as the yellow rutabaga does). Keep up the good work with your TH-cam videos!
Karen Scott hi and you are very welcome, I'm glad you are enjoying my videos and recipes. I remember when we lived away for almost 30 years and not having access to a lot of ingredients and foods to make a down home meal. I also remember buying a turnip that was white and very bitter, but that's a good point and thanks for your message and enjoy this recipe I make it at less one a week. Bonita
Hi Bonita looks delicious soup. thanks🌼😋
Susan you are very welcome and thank you for your message and visiting Bonita's Kitchen. Bonita

Thank you Gordon for stopping by and leaving a message, greetings from Newfoundland and I'm so glad you enjoyed our recipe for Peas soup and doughboys. :) Bonita
Omg I can't wait to try this, we had a housekeeper when I was younger who used to make stew with doughboys, it's been 40 years since I had them! My father used to make his pea soup with a ham hock. Great channel.
Hi and thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, this recipe for peas soup and doughboys is so delicious. I make a boiler of this soup once a month and bottle them to have some anytime. I also have a beef stew and pastry recipe and video on this channel if you like to check it out. Enjoy Bonita
This is the link to the Beef stew and Pastry th-cam.com/video/IYi9sCRfs7Y/w-d-xo.html
One of the best soups ever. This video really made me hungry. I have a really hard time making it in Alberta - just can’t get the peas to boil out. Tried soaking them overnight and all day, cooking them right from the bag, water from the tap and water from the filter.
Hi Will: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, that sounds terrible I have never ran into that problem before. Sounds like the split peas are bad or something, the next time you visiting the east coast toss a couple packs of yellow split peas in your luggage. This soup is my families favourite too and I never have leftovers. :) BONITA
If you are at a high altitude it can take longer to cook because water boils at a lower temperature. Use a pressure cooker or Instant Pot and everything will cook quicker.
Thank you, Bonita! I absolutely love peas soup and the video made me so hungry! I will be making it just like in the video. And those doughboys. Perfect! :)
That is wonderful Pauline, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This is my sons favourite soup as well, thank you so much for your message and for visiting our channel. :) Bonita
that looks great Bonita! They are similar to the dumplings that I make but yours look lighter and fluffier as mine have egg in them. I'll try your recipe next time!
They are nice with the baking powder, even when they are left over and warmed the next day. Bonita
left over with molasses!!!
Ramona
Lantec Marine yes I agree that sounds wonderful. Bonita
Thank you so much I haven't had this in years since my dad was alive back home so now I'm making it for my 3 kids and wife they have never had it . There gonna be in for a treat . I know the jigs dinner broth would be better but is vegetable broth better than beef broth if that's the way I make it ? Again thank you so much for this video your awesome
My favorite ! Love the addition of turnip ! There would be no leftovers in my home ! :)
That is so wonderful, thank you for leaving a message and its hard to have leftover peas soup. Our family loves this soup as well. :) Enjoy Bonita
Soup and dumplings look delicious, as children we also ate our dumplings with molasses as a dessert, have you done that as well?
Bonnie Brocklehurst Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I can remember when I was a child my Dad would eat his that way. So many delicious ways to enjoy peas soup and my Mom enjoys her soup with a piece of homemade bread and the peas soup over the top. Bonita
Get those dumplings in the soup and whether you like yellow or green split pea soup,
Try this recipe from Bonita's kitchen, you will be amazed ,
It tastes Delicious ,with capital " D ". !👍👍👍
Hi Steve: Thank you so much, I'm so glad you are enjoying my peas soup recipe. This is my youngest sons favourite and no matter how many times you make this soup it will taste lovely every time. Plus thank you for the big shout out here on youtube, Enjoy. :) Bonita
I make split pea soup with stock made from a ham bone or smoked ham hock.
I love using the ham bone too, this is a lovely soup and very tasty. My moms favourite soup! :) Thank you so much for stopping by. :) Bonita
Great video! I really love pea soup. Will have to make it with doughboys next time. Talk about gilding the lily! Lol

Hi Lucy: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I hope you subscribed to my channel and every time I post a new video you will be notified. This peas soup is to good to eat, I make it at less once a week. Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend. :) Bonita
I've made pea soup for years using a ham bone or ham hocks. The only vegetable I ever added was chopped onion. Everybody loved my soup but now I'll have to try it with the additional vegetables. Never thought of putting dumplings in the soup, I make turkey and dumplings with turkey legs or chicken and dumplings. I do add carrots and celery to those dishes. I'm really not a good cook, I just like to read recipes.
That is so wonderful, thank you for letting me know and for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed our peas soup recipe and let me know what you think. :) Bonita
Ya nose now I'm subscribed love. I watches ya all de time sure. Pea soup is me favourite......me tongue is hangin' out as we speak.....😜😜😜😜😜

I'm glad you enjoyed our peas soup recipe, its funny you don't like peas pudding. But if you made peas pudding you can turn it into soup if you wish. This is our link th-cam.com/video/M3AUQjJ51F8/w-d-xo.html thank you for stopping by and stay safe. Bonita
Hello Bonita thank you so much for posting Newfoundland recipes, I'm a westerner but live near a lot of "newfies" and like their traditional food.
I have two questions #1 can I use pickled pork riblets instead of the beef and ham, and do I need to soak and drain that to get some of the salt off? And #2 how long is the soup good for in the fridge after it's been sealed in the bottles (jars) ?
Treasure Cooper Hi and thank you for your message and questions, I'm glad you are enjoying our traditional recipes. To answer your first question yes you can use pickled pork ribs and yes you will need to soak for at less 4 hours or put then in the cold water in the morning and drain the water off after work and start the boiling first with the pork for about half hour then add the peas. Next question, bottle the hot soup and your are sure it will seal and the let it cool totally, label and date and they will be good in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks. I hope that helps and thank you once again for visiting my channel. Enjoy Bonita
are dough boys the east coast version of dumplings!
and can a person use rutabaga in place of turnup??
Yes and yes! Of course rutabaga is what we used in this tasty soup but here in Newfoundland and Labrador we call them turnips. Of course we know the difference but that's what we grow up with knowing. The dough boys is the same as dumplings but we call them dough boys....:) Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy our soup recipe and all our recipes to the fullest. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen I'm a new subscriber and I'm so enjoying your channel! I've already made your sweet and sour meatballs with rice and it was amazing!! I can'twait to make the pea soup and dough boys 😊 thanks for getting back to me and for sharing your traditional east coast food...love and blessings from BC ❤
I made mine almost the same…I don’t use potatoes. Thanks for posting.
Are you using yellow peas? Where do I find those I can get the green peas.i will try and make dough boy
Hi Roberta: I'm thinking you live in the states, because when we were in florida I couldn't get yellow split peas and I bought the green and they taste the same. We love peas soup in our family, green or yellow it don't matter. In Newfoundland Canada we can get both. This is a lovely recipe and the dough boys are so good. I hope that helps. Bonita
celery never knew that existed growing up in white bay.
How long do you cook dough bouy.
Hi Lorraine: Thank you for your question and for stopping by, after your soup is done place the dough boys in along the top and put the cover back on boiler. Then steam/boil for 5 minutes on one side then flip them and the same on the other side. Enjoy Bonita
I just found your channel while researching Duff recipes. I was hoping to try your soup recipe this week--we are helping my mother in law with her travel club next weekend, showing pictures of our trip to Newfoundland, and making a couple of NL recipes to share. The group is vegetarian, and I'm sure the salt beef and ham adds delicious flavor, but is there a way to make it vegetarian and still tasty? How much salt would you recommend adding in?
Hi Kate: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, just checking first to see if you are going to make the full bag of split yellow peas. If so use vegetable broth and about 1/2 teaspoon or more of sea salt to the broth or stock in your boiler with your split peas. Building flavours without using meat of any type, also after your peas soup is almost done chop up some of the celery leaves and parsley to put over the top and stir in with the peas soup. This will taste so good, enjoy to the fullest and don't forget to subscribe so you can get a notification each time we post a new video. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Thank you so much for your response--yes, I'll be using the full bag of peas. The celery leaves and parsley sound like a tasty addition--thank you!
@@Kate-ws4vp You are welcome. :) Enjoy Bonita
Is salt beef the same as corned beef?
No but they are two similar beefs, one is salted with course salt and the other got peppercorns and more seasonings. If you don't have access to salted beef use a ham bone of pieces of ham. Enjoy Bonita
Great channel Bonita . You need to invest in a microphone, you can get one relatively cheap and it will add so much
Thank you Paul for your message and feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed our recipe for Peas soup and Doughboys. This is a old video but a tasty recipe, we have invested and upgraded our videoing equipment seen this video. But we have over 300 plus videos and a third of them is old and not clear or the sound is bad. But again the recipes are tasty and so easy to follow. This in one of our NEWER videos and I will share our website if you wish to look for a recipe. th-cam.com/video/09nlH8WhdAE/w-d-xo.html corned beef casserole, www.bonitaskitchen.com website. :) Enjoy Bonita

Wish I was there to get your "leftovers"!
Thank you so much for your message. Bonita
I'm cooking my peas right now. It's been 5 hrs and they are still firm after soaking all night. Lord help me. 👼
Iv struggled with this as well.. I read that adding baking soda to the water to soak them overnight helps
I did not know peas came in yellow!
Here in Canada you can get yellow split peas, but they taste the same as the green split peas. I've made the soup with both before, when we visit the states all I can find is the green split peas. This is a lovely easy recipe to follow and its so delicious. Enjoy Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Do they GROW that way??? Honest, I'm going to try this recipe, but I thought at first you were cooking CORN!
@@KitKat-wc1kn Haha thats to funny, it would have been a good one if they all started to pop in the boiler. :) I'm sure they do grow that way, they are not coloured. But they taste the same. :) Enjoy Bonita
Whycome you drain the water off your dried peas?
Hi Howard: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I drain the soaked water off the peas because you don't need that extra starch. My Mom would always say soaking your peas over night takes away some of the gas effect it makes afterwards. :) I hope this answers your question and you make this delicious peas soup with doughboys, it is a lovely soup. Enjoy and have a lovely day. Bonita
adopt me plz

Soggy chips are one of my worst nightmares. Gravy on chips is gross. Yuk.
Eunice Swan Thank you for your message and visiting my channel, I agree soggy fry's are not nice, crispy fry's and side of gravy. But this is a peas soup video not Fry's. But thanks for your message, Bonita
