• Black Eyed Peas

    Black Eyed Peas are a New Year's Day tradition in the south. Although the name and recipe can change depending upon where in the south you find yourself (a lot of folks grew up knowing them as Hoppin' John but I always heard them referred to as Black Eyed Peas) the basics are still the same. This dish is one of several (cabbage and greens being a few others) that is supposed to bring you prosperity and good luck during the new year.
