Cooked mine last night with some spiral ham chunks. Yummmy!
For those of you who’ve never had them, they taste like dirt smells. :)
If anyone is brave enough to go through New Year’s Day without eating at least one bite of black-eyed peas, they shouldn’t be surprised to find 2009 not-so-lucky. Eating these little morsels today will guarantee a year of good luck!
Happy New Year, everybody!
LOL! Do NOT!
If I didn't already like blackeyed peas, you can bet I wouldn't be dying to try them for New Years after reading that - OR the "history of blackeyed peas in yorkie's post!!" LOL!
BUT....I don't buy fresh ones that have to be shelled - too much trouble for the lazy cook. :) Frozen Foods section of supermarkets have great packages of them with snaps, and they are far better than the dried peas. I add a can of petite diced tomatoes, along with bite-size pieces of bacon (uncooked) and a little bit of bacon 'grease', salt, pepper, chopped onion and cayenne pepper.

I love the smell of dirt after a rain shower and I love Black Eyes.
