I'm surprised...I get what you mean now (after a little research) about not using lentils.
It's another one of those culturally different things. Here, there's 2 "main" varieties of the same thing, lentils, and what you'd call split peas are very similar, no?
Just like the corriander/cilantro thing, different names on very similar things. Here, we don't use the term "split peas", just lentils, but different varieties.
What you're talking about is the slightly more bulky (?greenish?) coloured ones, no?
Either way, the sou made from either is fucking awesome, one of my favourite vegetarian dishes.

Ah so it's KEY not Quay...righto, had never seen the spelling...
Well, thanks for the history lesson, but...is it REALLY all that?
Hit me up with a recipe, I'll make one.
