4 lbs ham - cured
1 lbs blackeyedpeas

Soak peas 8 hours.
Rinse.
Simmer peas on low 2 hours.
Chop ham into one-inch cubes.
Add ham to blackeyedpeas.
Season with everything you like.
Simmer until ham falls apart.
Eat a bowl.
Freeze the rest in individual serving size bags.
Eat everyday for the next 30 days.

On alternate days, add cornbread, jalapenos or whatever flies your kite.

At the end of 30 days, repeat recipe.

You will never starve - guaranteed!  Grin

That sounds goooooooooood[/b]!!!  Smiley

Oklahoma Howdy to All,

Sincereheart gave the most accurate description of black-eyed peas.   Grin  I don't know anything about the music group.

Black-eyed peas are a very simple, but delicious, lentil that folks in the South really enjoy. Yes, they are also known as cow-peas. There are tons of popular dishes that contain black-eyed peas. However, one of the best meals has black-eyed peas as the main course.

Here's one of my favorites:

You slow cook some black-eyed peas with some bacon bits and a touch of jalapeno as the main dish. One must add fresh cornbread and buttermilk for a meal fit for a king. We are talking about:

Finger lickin', lip smackin' GOOD!

I would give more details about the cooking procedures, but I fear that Northerners might steal the recipe.   Grin

Love In Christ,
Tom

If us Northerners want your recipe we'll burn a path down to Atlanta and take it.   Grin

My husband is from MN and I am from SC.
When we first got married, he had never heard of black eyed peas.
When I told him what they were, he said he'd never touch them ever!
I made bep soup and told him he'd have to cook for himself or go hungry that night unless he ate the soup. I promised him that if he tried the soup and didn't like it, I'd never make it for him for supper again.
He tried the soup and didn't mind gobbling down his words as he gobbled down the second and third bowl full.  Tongue
Now he requests bep soup at least twice a year in the winter.  Smiley

Sure is sad how disillusioned some people are.

 Grin  Those Yankees might be dangerous if they got a taste of Southern food, so don't give them any ideas.

I don't know what we would do if they ever found out about grits, fresh biscuits, and sausage gravy. They would probably drop their little English tea cups and crumpets.   Grin

I have tasted it....we spend our November's in Georgia and that's how I know....yukky (as my grandkids say)  Grin

grits,

they totally gross me out

sausage gravy

100% FAT.....eeewww

fresh biscuits

...those are yummy, so are turnip greens, and spinach (course, they aren't exactly a southern invention, either)  Cheesy

....I use a gigantic coffee cup, hmmm, speaking of coffee...the only decent place for coffee "down" there is the Biscuit Bucket, or of course the Waffle House....nobody else seems to know how (except I noticed in Ohio they've at least got a Tim Horton's)

and crumpets are english...which I'm not. Now, offer me a good scottish scone and I might just accept...

and tea? hah...."sweet tea" is what they got and it has about a gallon of sugar in it....no wonder the dentists down there are, well... rich! ...AND it's COLD!

Too late. Blackeyedpeas went North during the second world war when the South migrated North to work in the factories.

A. Back in the days of the Wild West, Southern gentility, and Northern hostility, our celebrated blackeyed peas were used strictly for the feeding of cattle in the South. During the Civil War battle of Vicksburg, the town was under siege for over 40 days. No supplies went in and none came out The entire town was on the brink of starvation. So they ate those humble "cowpeas," thus starting a southern tradition. Nowadays blackeyes are eaten every New Year's Day to bring good luck for the coming year. All the way back to the days of the Pharaoh, blackeyed peas have been a symbol of luck and fortune. The superstition is that those who eat blackeyes, an inexpensive and modest food, show their humility and save themselves from the wrath of the heavens because of the vanity they might have. Blackeyed peas are neither a pea nor a bean. They are lentils.  Grin
