Oh my - totally forgot about that song! oh dear...

See what you started?

Black-eyed peas are in the same family as gourds and squash, this is not people food! You will find them in the slop trough for the pigs!

Along with Earl.

Personally, I like BEP's...but you have to know how to cook 'em...and I don't recommend trying the dried or canned kind!

Um...I like them, straight from the can. Even cold.

I eat them every New Year's Day to "see in the new year"

I like to cook fresh or frozen with enough water to more than cover the peas. Add a little salt, pepper, olive oil and a couple of chicken boullion cubes. When they start to simmer, I cover and cook until done (I don't like mine mushy).
