cooked with herbs
Reckon you check the temperature with a basil thermometer.
But if you add vinegar, licking the spoon isn't recommended.

From "The Annotated Mother Goose", a fabulous book by Baring-Gould, pub. 1962 (look for it used):
A thin pudding made of pease meal. This rhyme is both a riddle and a clapping game, played by children on cold days to keep their hands warm. The first four lines and th final couplet were first published c. 1765 in Newbery's "Mother Goose's Melody," where the editor appended this maxim to the rhyme: "The poor are seldom sicker for want of food, than the rich by the excess of it."

I think that some of you are thinking of something mushy and green - that would be mushy peas, eaten with fish and chips in the North of England. Peas pudding is yellow and sweet tasting, more like channa dal, as was mentioned. http://recipes.alastra.com/beans-cereals/peas-pudding02.html

Hey, Herb--how's it growin'?Well, a bit whacky, Jackie. First these geezers uprooted us, and then we thought they'd had a change of heart 'cos they cured us. But then everything went up in smoke, and we were really burned up. However, everything's  now, thanks.

Yes, that was why I only used yellow for the word yellow because I find yellow very hard to read.
