Sidi Boots: Peas Porridge Cold

Pea soup can be pretty tasty on a cold winter day. I would go so far as to say that in the world of soup, pea soup is pretty substantial. It is kind of thick and weighty, more like a stew. I find it quite yummy.

But sadly there are those times that you get a piece of ham in your soup that has a dangling, wiggly, fat piece still attached to it. As you lift your spoon the piece of ham with the bum fat-leg sits haughtily in its pool of swamp water and glares at you like, “Hey, how’s it going? Pretend you don’t see me. I’m still a delicious soup.”

For a microsecond you might be like “Ok,” but if you keep your eyes fixed on the scary globule for more than 2 seconds your gag reflex will kick in. Your once delicious cardboard cup of soup becomes a revolting, green nightmare that cannot find its way into the garbage can fast enough.

You had such high hopes for your steaming, hot cup of goodness. To make matters worse, that $4 bucks was all you could scrape together from the bottom of your purse; the last dollar of which you were forced to make out of 3 quarters, two dimes and a nickel, while the guy with the visible dandruff from the 3rd floor insurance firm impatiently shifted in his white Rockports behind you, making you feel like a loser for having to pay with change.

Now you’re slightly sickened and stuck eating a pack of mostly crushed cracker crumbs and a Diet Dr. Pepper for lunch. All because some fetid hunk of grizzle had to go makin’ eyes at you.

These boots are like that.

    Why don’t sailors like split pea soup? They would rather eat a pea whole.
