You are supposed to eat black eyed peas on January 1st and it will bring you good luck all year long. I was never clear as to why it is supposed to bring good luck. No one could ever explain that part. It's funny you should mention this tradition. I used to do it every year and I haven't in about ten years now. (Wow, where did the time go!?!) I picked up some black eyed peas a couple weeks ago just to make a pot for new year's day this year. Hubby hates black eyed peas and won't eat them so if we have a bad year, I'm blaming him. :lol:
