Black-Eyed Peas and Greens Anyone?

[MawMaw]

In the South it is tradition to cook black-eyed peas and some sort of greens (cabbage, collards, turnips) on New Year's Day.

Wondering if any of the AFF folks cooked/ate any?

I did!! :)

Happy New Year!!

[CC1]

We did black eyed peas this year but not the greens.

Black eyed peas I love. Greens, not so much (although I have been known to eat them).

I guess you don't like greens?
When I was a kid, I would not touch them!
But, I love them now!! Especially turnip greens! :nod
