Horrible my friend,
Yes, we did have our black eyed peas with smoked ham hocks, over rice & Northern cornbread.
Good stuff ! For you foreigners who never had the pleasure -- please just try 'em.
Are ya' feeling lucky ? We are.
The Rabbits (of the just loves to use the word 'luck' again - class)
I tried them once when I lived in Texass, I thought they were the most nasty tasting thing I ever put in my mouth.
blackeyed peas?....I was told to have pork and kraut for good luck for the rest of the year..
I am going to try this though.
Texas Caviar
2 cans (14-16 oz.) black-eyed peas
1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
cracked or freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup each red and green bell peppers -- chopped
2 jalapeno -- chopped
3 green onion -- chopped
Drain the liquid from the peas. Place peas in a pan or bowl. Add remaining
ingredients and mix thoroughly. Store in a jar in refrigerator up to a
week. Serve as a dip for tortilla chips
I'm also going to try gentlyferal's ritual. Thanks for that site. Looks really interesting.

What do they taste like? I think they taste like dirt, real actual soil. Just how dirt smells is how they taste. No offense to the black eyed pea lovers. I remember gagging at the table and my dad saying, 'quit doing that'. Like I had control over this? Luckily, mom never made them again.
Yes, I remember my Mom and my Aunt cooking up a pot of blackeyed peas and sevring them with cornbread.....yummmyyyyyyy......but since I moved up north, I have lost the tradition.
My BF says you have to sleep with a black eyed pea for good luck !!! And I know which one he wants!
I hope you all knew to WEAR YELLOW UNDERWEAR on new Year's Eve. It's supposed to bring good luck and good fortune all year. I bought a pair just for the occasion, and hubby wore his bright yellow boxers, too.
I didn't know about the black eyed peas. I'll add that one next year. They taste like pinto beans, don't they?
WE had to eat lentil soup for good luck
It's very possible if the black-eyed peas you ate -- tasted bad -- they weren't cooked right at all.
The ones I made is my own variation, if i can find the time I'll post it.
They really are good. They taste a little like most dried peas, which all have a little different flavor...well, ok, chicken. They taste like chicken!
