Asparagus peas have to be picked very young or they are inedible.

Asparagus Pudding
(A delicious Dish, to be served with the Second Course)
285ml (� pint) Asparagus Peas
4 Eggs
2 tbsp Flour
1 tbsp Ham, very finely minced
25g (1oz) Butter
Milk
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Cut up the green tender parts of asparagus, to about the size of peas.
Put into a basin with the eggs, which should be well beaten and the flour, ham, butter, salt and pepper.
Mix all the ingredients well and moisten with enough milk to make the consistency of thick batter.
Put into a 600ml (1 pint) buttered mould, cover and tie tightly with a floured cloth, place in boiling water and allow to boil for 2 hours.
Turn it out of the mould on to a hot dish.
Pour plain melted butter round, but not over, the pudding.
Green peas pudding may be made in exactly the same manner, substituting peas for the asparagus.
Time: 2 hours.
Seasonable in May, June and July.
