> Can? Can? Against the law here in Mississippi to have can black eye peas

Same here. Who would think of cooking with mushy beans and that slop they're packed with from a can?

Now how do you cook those black eyed peas like I do (dried and soaked over night), or fresh off the vine?

First off, just what state did those black eys come from? I mean, it it a southern dish, might have come from Mexico or Mass.

Fresh off the vine, some shelled, some snapped with a ham hock and a little onion is good eats.
