The [[Presbyterian Church of Australia]] was formed in 1901 when various state based Presbyterian Churches federated. Prior to [[1977]] some congregations left the denomination because of the prevalence of [[Liberal Christianity|liberal theology]] in the church. In 1977 many congregations left the Presbyterian Church of Australia and joined the newly formed [[Uniting Church in Australia]], leaving a [[Conservative Christianity|conservative]] dominated church. |

'''Mushy peas''' are dried [[marrowfat_peas|marrowfat pea]]s which are first soaked overnight in water and [[Sodium bicarbonate|bicarbonate of soda]], and then simmered with a little sugar and salt until they form a thick green lumpy soup. Sometimes [[Mentha|mint]] is used to alter the flavour. Green colouring is often used. This is typically achieved by adding the yellow and blue additives, [[Tartrazine|E102]] and [[Brilliant Blue FCF|E133]], which together produce the green effect. The use of artificial colours results in bright green mushy peas. Pure mushy peas, with no colouring, tend to form a more grey-green end product. [[Sodium bicarbonate]] is often added to soften the peas to enhance the colour and to inhibit [[fermentation (biochemistry)|fermentation]] during soaking, which reduces later [[flatulence]]. They are a traditional northern [[England|English]] accompaniment to [[fish and chips]]. All over the [[Northern England|North]] they are commonly served as part of the popular snack of [[pie and peas]] (akin to the Australian [[pie floater]], but with mushy peas instead of a thick pea soup) and are considered a part of traditional [[British cuisine]].

On [[28 April]] [[2008]] the [[Food Standards Agency]] asked for a voluntary ban on artificial food colourings and suggested that the ban would be practical by the end of 2009.

Mushy peas are dried marrowfat peas which are first soaked overnight in water and bicarbonate of soda, and then simmered with a little sugar and salt until they form a thick green lumpy soup. Sometimes mint is used to alter the flavour. Green colouring is often used. This is typically achieved by adding the yellow and blue additives, E102 and E133, which together produce the green effect. The use of artificial colours results in bright green mushy peas. Pure mushy peas, with no colouring, tend to form a more grey-green end product. Sodium bicarbonate is often added to soften the peas to enhance the colour and to inhibit fermentation during soaking, which reduces later flatulence. They are a traditional northern English accompaniment to fish and chips. All over the North they are commonly served as part of the popular snack of pie and peas (akin to the Australian pie floater, but with mushy peas instead of a thick pea soup) and are considered a part of traditional British cuisine. Mushy peas can also be bought in tinned cans. They are also sometimes served in batter as a pea fritter.[1]
On 28 April 2008 the Food Standards Agency asked for a voluntary ban on artificial food colourings and suggested that the ban would be practical by the end of 2009. This would mean that certain foods such as mushy peas, Battenberg cake, Turkish Delight and tinned strawberries might disappear temporarily or permanently.[2]
