One of my favorite meals: corn bread, (real) butter, black eyed peas, and turnip greens. This is the basic list. Chopped-up (wheels) of okra liven up the black eyed peas. Fresh, finely chopped onion should be on the table to add to the b.e. peas. The turnip greens should have chopped-up turnip roots in them.
No sweet iced tea for me. I will add my own sweetner to each glass.
Of course, one needs to differentiate between peas. English peas are the round, green ones; black-eyed peas (aka cow peas) are the other kind.
If it was not so close to when I ate supper (aka dinner), my mouth would be watering.
