Made this last night and it was very yummy!

1 bag split peas, sorted and rinsed.
1 medium brown onion, diced
2 large celery stalks, diced
2 large carrots, shredded

Toss everything but the ham steak into the crock pot and cook on high for 7 hours.

sounds good.... like my pea soup recipe.  Marjoram really makes a difference.

1 medium brown onion, diced

What's a brown onion?  Do you mean a yellow onion?  Never heard of brown.

They have brown skin and a stronger flavor... or is it a milder flavor?

Sounds delicious!  Am making it tomorrow.  Let's talk hamhocks,...I could not find just hammocks, I did find "smoked hammocks", are these the same and will this work?

Hmmm, I love onions.... if browns have stronger onion flavor, I'm lookin' for 'em!   !@!
