Northumbrian ham broth is a traditional dish that allegedly has origins going back as far as the Roman period. It differs from Scotch broth with the use of ham and split peas instead of the Scottish mutton and barley. The pic is a nice slow cooker full I made yesterday to a family recipe, using a boneless unsmoked gammon joint initially for stock, then adding yellow split peas, diced white onion, grated/roughly blended potato and carrot, half of the gammon joint (shredded), seasoned with black pepper and slow cooked until thick and all the veg/peas are melt in the mouth...
Fresh bread and a dod of butter optional but recommended!

Staying in Carlisle, the podcast then looks to the 1864 sighting of a `ghost` in Milbourne Street, and reports from the same time at the Glasgow Necropolis.
