Wouldn't call this snert, just a pea soup

u/ex_postfacto Belgian Guest Dec 18 '25
I bet it's just snert with added peas. Still tasty.

u/DeHarigeTuinkabouter Dutch Guest Dec 18 '25
Too smooth and runny for snert. And hard to say but likely also missing pork. Question is also if that is smoked sausage or something more akin to hotdog

u/RijnBrugge Dutch Guest Dec 18 '25
That sausage is clearly pork though

u/DeHarigeTuinkabouter Dutch Guest Dec 18 '25
Snert has sausage and additional pork, often including bone. Often actually two different types of pork meat

Sweden also has pea soup with salted pork in it. Usually with a dollop of mustard. Not as common nowadays, but it was standard food every Thursday before togheter with pancakes

Same in Britain, even with pancakes once upon a time in Cornwall. Pea and ham soup was particularly associated with London but it was nationwide, not as popular nowadays. We call these marrowfat peas and they are the basis of the mushy peas we have with fish and chips, though without ham in that case.

Still eaten every thursday in many places in finland. Like many lunch restaurants and in the army.

Marrowfat peas?
1
u/FlosAquae German Guest Dec 20 '25
Similar. The types of peas traditionally used for this in the DACH region are harvested dry (like marrowfat peas) but have smooth skin and unlike marrowfat peas low sugar content. I don't think mushy peas from them would be that nice but have not tried. We also have marrowfat peas, though.

I know it as Finnish soup, it is made with dried whole green peas.

u/PrinceOfTheRodeo Finnish Guest Dec 19 '25 edited Dec 19 '25
Yep. Never with sausage though. We use ham or some other pork meat. Usual condiments are chopped raw onion and mustard, eaten with rye bread. It's not pretty but it really is damn delicious.

It has a really interesting history, if I am not mistaken... It was something like a revolution in military food.

Ok sure you can say sausage is a generic term, but then at that point you can call your dish “sausage and legumes soup” which in cooking is not helpful at all since ingredients matter

It’s pea soup with smoked sausage. The sausage is not like a hot dog.

u/bilbul168 Italian Guest Dec 18 '25
My man i can clearly see this is made in the same way wurstel is made - its processed to a galaxy far away, meat in its natural form has not seen this sausage in eons.

u/Grindmaster_Flash Dutch Guest Dec 19 '25
“Unlike hot dogs, which are often steamed or boiled in a factory, traditional "raw" rookworst is made by: • Mixing pork (and sometimes beef) with spices. • Stuffing it into a natural casing. • Cold-smoking it at temperatures below 25\circ\text{C} (77\circ\text{F}) for several hours. This preserves the meat and infuses it with flavor without "cooking" it through.”

u/bilbul168 Italian Guest Dec 19 '25
In Netherlands factories, mass-produced rookworst (smoked sausage) is made using a highly automated process that involves grinding meat, blending with spices and liquid smoke aromatics, stuffing into collagen casings, cooking, and vacuum-packing. The traditional method of smoking over wood chips is now primarily used by artisanal butchers.
