As you do like the Glory BEPs try Sylvia's Seasoned Field Peas. They are very good as well and a true Southern tradition too. Maryland - Where the criminals are the government | |||

I grew up on black eyed peas. My mom would cook them all day and at dinner you'd take a wedge of hot cornbread out of the skillet, cut it in half and butter it and then spoon those black eyed peas on top of it. Brings back fond memories. Sometimes the meal would be the black eyed peas and cornbread from above, with a mess of fried okra, maybe some turnip greens, and a couple of slices of tomato fresh from the garden along with sliced onion. Washed down by a big glass of sweet iced tea. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Perfect meal , Sunset ate that food growing up, and when ever he can now. Every durn thing you mentioned is delicious. I'll have a second helping. Some variations, sometimes I would add Chow Chow, to those black eyed peas, or some cut up red peppers, some how, onions just never went well with black eyed peas for me. 美しい犬 | |||

My dad liked chow chow sometimes on his black eyed peas, so mom would usually have some out for him in case he was in the mood for it. The sliced onion was for the tomatoes. My mom always sliced a Vidalia whenever she sliced a tomato. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

I got all the fixin's today. No okra, though. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

We had good moms that cooked simple, cooked food that you never tired of. Cut up homegrown tomatoes with chopped up onions and black or red peppers is another meal in itself. We always had boiled eggs sliced up with turnip greens and some sweet homemade pickles with those turnip greens too. 美しい犬 | |||

Did y'all ever have cornbread and milk for dessert? Ya crumble up some cornbread into a glass of milk, add a little salt, and eat it with a spoon. My granddad finished off a lot of his suppers with that. It's better than it sounds. When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | |||

When I was in college and a vegetarian, and poor, a common meal was a can of stewed tomatoes, a can of mixed vegetables, and a can of black-eyed peas mixed together and seasoned with oregano, basil, tarragon, and olive oil. Millet or brown rice on the side. It was good. For about 12 years I kept a supply of the faster cooking beans as a food cache; adzuki, black-eyed, lentils (multiple varieties), mung, split peas. An advantage of these faster cooking beans is that that they can be sprouted and eaten. So if you have a sanitary water supply but no heat source then you can still eat. The disadvantage is that it takes a few days. Here is a recipe of sprouted BEPs. http://www.thesimplemoms.com/2...k-eyed-pea-soup.html "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

Yep...Although it was usually buttermilk and cornbread. I haven't had real buttermilk in 30+ years! “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
My granny ate it that way with buttermilk. | |||

Black-eye peas are a staple around my house. Every year about this time I will spend a few nights after work "shelling" peas. My wife will "blanch" 'em (bring them to a rolling boil for about 2-3 minutes then drop them in a tub of ice water to stop the cooking process). We'll put them in freezer bags:lay them flat (usually 30-40 bags a years. They will keep for years.) Whenever my wife wants to cook a batch, she puts them in a pressure cooker with some water and salt and lets them cook for 4-5 minutes. They taste almost fresh picked. Serve with cornbread and fried okra. Now I'm hungry.... _________ Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right. Henry Ford | |||

I like them too, except, I but black eyed peas, red beans, pinto beans, black beans, and the Indian lentils in bulk. Then I soak them overnight, and then cook them in a pressure cooker. If you think you can, YOU WILL!!!!! | |||

My mother used the pressure cooker to eliminate the long soaking time. She'd first cook the beans in a lot of water to hydrate them. Then she'd pour out that water and cook the beans again in a lesser amount of water. Looking on the web, I see that another benefit of this method is that most of the gas-causing sugars are leached out by the hydrating stage.  Serious about crackers | |||

My mother's new years black eyed pea dip recipe, more or less. She uses velveta american cheese and cooks everything in a double boiler. Adjust the amount of jalapeno to your personal tastes. http://www.recipegirl.com/2007...-black-eyed-pea-dip/ | |||
