YES - I have heard grandmas called grammy, and I did suspect that connection.  Blackeyedpeas - You put some pork or bacon in it, a little bit of hot sauce, and make some cornbread for a meal fit for a king. YES - it is one of my favorites. In fact, it's a Southern favorite that everyone can afford. It's plain and simple, and that's the major reason why I chose it. Some trivia: These are also called cow-peas in the South because they grew wild and cows ate them. Folks from the North didn't think that people should be eating them. In fact, we tried to keep them a secret from Northerners for quite some time because they taste so good. They are also easy to grow with little maintenance and in harsh conditions. Remember, they grow wild, so they are a very hardy crop. If someone can't grow them, they don't belong on a farm. They were most common on the sides of the road in the water drainage ditches. I assume this was natural because any rainfall would tend to soak into the ground in these areas. Please note that I tried to use simple terms to describe this in an effort to prevent confusion for Northerners.  There are hundreds of recipes involving this Southern favorite. |

Mine is fairly self explanatory also. I started out on the internet using a different screen name. Others still called me by my current screen name anyway so I just used it when I came to this forum. I am also known in my neighborhood as either Pastor or Grandpa (some of my neighbors knew me when I was a pastor). Some trivia: These are also called cow-peas in the South because they grew wild and cows ate them. Folks from the North didn't think that people should be eating them. In fact, we tried to keep them a secret from Northerners for quite some time because they taste so good. They are also easy to grow with little maintenance and in harsh conditions.

Please note that I tried to use simple terms to describe this in an effort to prevent confusion for Northerners. There are hundreds of recipes involving this Southern favorite. I've heard them called cow-peas before but thought it was for a different reason. I have spent considerable time in the south and enjoyed much of the cuisine but blackeyedpeas was one I could never get the knack of enjoying. They have always tasted a bit earthy to me, kind of like plowing the fields on a dry, windy day. Being an old northern farm boy I enjoy many kinds of beans, pinto beans, navy beans, red kidney beans ... they all taste good to me except the blackeyedpeas. Now a batch of grits, rice and gravy or poke salad and I'm ready. |

Well you tried, but you didn't get me on that one! My dad is from Georgia! And now resides in Mobile, AL. I also grew up on grits, biscuts and gravey and country music! hahahaha! Pastor Roger...I thought your name was Wes? I figured you were a pastor though just from all the good info you post! And I lived in Beaumont, MS (backwoods) for a bit so I've even eaten some racoon! Aughhhh. |

The name is pretty much self explanatory. And I came from Michigan and have been in Alabama since 1981. And grits and the b.e.p's just do not do it for me. I enjoy the catfish (although not a favored fish of mine), and many of the other delicacies of the South. I just wish that when I say I would like to get a coke, someone would ask me what kind I want and not just get me a Coke |

My handle comes from my initials. I too live in the South and enjoy Southern food. I only partake of it occasionally though as I am getting older and it's harder to keep the weight down eating all that fried, rich food. You all sure make me hungry just talking about it!!!
Congrats to all you grand parents out there! I am not a grandma yet, and hope it will be a long time coming as my daughter is only 8.
Thanks and God Bless, Eva

Wes? Were'd that come from? Good one though. Catfish, Raccoon, squirrel, rabbit are not just a southern dish. They are prized by all of us northern farm boys, too right along with Catfish and walleye, the only fish that I will eat. |

It's possible that my fingers might have gotten ahead of me but if I did do that it wasn't intentional. |

Add us in Arizona, we also like rabbit, squirrel, bass, catfish and javlina. |
