Black eye peas

I do not post much but enjoy this site. Lean a lot by reading the advise here. Not a farmer but do have 3 older tractors. Just wondering if any of you eat peas on New Year's Day for good luck . Was always a tradition in our family. Happy New Year to all.

Just finished my cabbage and ham hocks.
A tradition in my family since I was a kid.

I will skip the black eye peas and just have a second plate of cabbage.

Dixie cooks black eyed peas in the form of Hoppin john or something like that. It has the pork in it in the form of smoked sausage this year. Also collard greens and corn bread. It all went down real well. Sothern girl thing I guess.

We just finished a meal of corned beef, boiled cabbage, blackeyed peas and a few fried taters for good measure. Has been on the menu on New Yrs day forever. This is in Southern Indiana , it may be this is passed down from generation to generation. We have German heritage in family.

Pinkeye purple hull peas, first cousin of blackeye peas, from our garden this summer, collards, hog jowl, and cornbread. That's usually what we have here.

Always pork and sauerkraut on New Years Day for good luck. Old German tradition.

Dad raised Black eyed Peas, but we called black eyed beans. Mom fixed them a time or two, but our favorite was Lima Beans,and ham, which Dad also raised. Stan

About 5:00 PM my older daughter and her husband drove up, brought in take out trays. They had dinner, with his family and brought the younger daughter and myself supper. Had collard greens, black eye peas, ham, pork chops, corn bread and two kinds of dessert. I sure was grateful, because after an afternoon outside in the cool,I didn't feel like cooking supper.

Dan T in MO · Jan 2, 2014

Went over to Dad's this evening for supper. My SIL brought over black eyed peas with hog jowl and cornbread. Man, what a feast!

Rex Simpkins · Jan 2, 2014

Haven't missed a year for as long as I can remember. Mama said that if you eat your peas on NYs you will have peas all year, meaning that you will have money to feed yourself if nothing else. I did and she was right.

Black Eyed Peas on New Years isn't written into law in Texas, but is assumed to be so mandatory that there's no need for legislative action.

Yep I et my peas New Year's Eve, NewYear's Day at lunch and again New Year's Day at supper...
