Black eyed peas, greens.....any of them i.e. turnips, mustard, collards (my favorite) or cabbage. Potato salad, fried hog jowl or other meat of choice, field peas (from sister) and of course a crusty cornbread. Used to serve sweet tea, now we drink water...oh, and left over desserts from Christmas Dinner.
Legend says that you will get a dollar for each blackeyed pea you eat and the greens represent green money (folding money)...have to brag and say mine all turned out good this year, especially the cornbread.
