If they are smoked, then the split pea is your friend. I'd do ham and pease pudding: soak a big mugful of them tonight, then tomorrow tie in muslin with bouquet garni and clove of garlic, then simmer in a big pot with the hocks, a carrot, clove-stuck-onion, stick of celery. When done, take the peas out, mash with salt, pepper and butter, serve with the ham, moar veg and stock. Leftovers? Instand ham and pea soup.
