Hey! As a native New Orleanian, we eat red beans rice every Monday, out of choice!
(Monday was wash day in early New Orleans so they would put a pot of beans on all day to cook while laundry was done, so now... we eat em every monday!)
Jeeper, I just hulled a bushel of cowpeas this weekend and put up over a dozen pints of them. My hatred of tyranny could never be stronger!
