But in the famine, in England in the mid-1300s, all they had left eat, in Lancashire, was peas. The Lord of the Manor of Myerscough also had a herb garden, and made the dish more interesting for his family and servants by adding Thyme to it.

When his tenants heard of this, they all gathered at the manor door and petitioned him, crying out, "Give us Thyme in our Peas, oh Lord!"

I'm immortal until proven otherwise
