Is "pease" singular or plural?
pease
"peas" is plural. "pease" is an archaic word which was an uncountable noun and thus not singular or plural.
As far as I know, I have never encountered the word "pease" except in this old nursery rhyme:
Pease porridge hot;
Pease porridge cold;
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old.
From what I understand, though, Pete is correct. It's hardly worth worrying about, though.
- Kef

Hi,
In the north east of England, we have a baked vegetable product called Pease pudding. It's similar in texture to hummus and is traditionally eaten with stottie cakes.
Yummy!
