"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Personal Notes:
I've found that different brands of split peas cook at different speeds so it's important to keep checking the consistency. Some split peas come with a flavoring packet. Add the packet when you add the split peas. If you didn't get a flavoring packet you can add a ham bullion cube or two.
