    A girl I used to work with talked about this meal & always intended to write down the recipe & we somehow never got around to it & we have lost touch with each other. I was so happy to see you had posted it so I can try it out. She also talked about Onion Pudding that they put into the pot in a bag. Would you happen to have a recipe for that too by any chance. If you do, I would sure appreciate getting it from you. I have bought a special little bag that they use to put the peas or the Onion pudding in already. 5 forks
