Yes. I used to make my own, but now I use canned Glory Seasoned Southern Style. Glory SSS collard greens and my cornbread. Diced green onions and clear Texas Pete. For the pork, I'm fixin' Grilled Pork Tenderloin, ala Alton Brown. It's real good, try it sometime.

I grew up in Dallas and have had black-eyed peas on New Years for decades, no matter where I live. I cook them with onion, bacon and garlic, salt and pepper. Great with cornbread too.....
BUT
Do you know where the tradition came from? It's quite interesting and doesn't make me regret this tradition at all, because as a Texan I can respect other Texan's shenanigans........and by the way, my brother is LBJ, and our mom was friends with Torn, Jr........went to UT together and our mom's bf at the time was his frat brother. Anyway, here's the link....http://www.texasescapes.com/CFEckhardt/The-Great-Blackeyed-Pea-Hoax.htm?fbclid=IwAR3E3-HgrtHPx9iBevbS7xg3wBB2BBPdm4fUmmXAJyk42uc3mG3QzObHBOI

Like an idiot I've forgotten how to do a hyperlink on this board.......crud...... but it's easy enough to select that link and go to it.....It's a good story anyway....

We don't make it a point to eat black eyed peas on New Years Day . Mom used to cook it though and it's flying out of the stores like crazy .

Not that I have any interest in Fergie, but the wife would object.

We had 'em and do so every year. We also put out bread and silver for the "Brownies". No we're not superstitious. It's just that traditions are important.

I successfully evaded that fate, as I have since reaching the age where I had a choice in such matters.

I believe I skipped them in 2019. After 2020, I fucking well ate my black-eyed peas on New Years Day!
