Once in a while I’ll get a hankering for a pot of black eyed peas. I didn’t have all of the ingredients that I normally use and didn’t feel like going to the store, so just used what I had.

Browned up some boneless smoked ham hocks.



Then added some ground venison and seasoned her up.




Fried up some tortillas in butter to dip in the juice, hmn hmn. Got my fix, now I’m stuffed.




Thanks for lookin’.

Pass the cornbread please.

I made a skillet of cornbread, but it’s gone already and needed buttermilk to make more lol.

I hate to say this but I don't like black eyed peas. If they were so good then they would be eaten all the time. Not just at new years. I don't eat them then.

I am in between your opinion and the love them crowd. Texas caviar is just about the only way I really enjoy them, and I don't need to hear the, "well you just never have had them cooked right."

'Love 'em done right. We eat them for days after.

Man, you just never have had them cooked right!

Yeh, to me they are like liver. I don't want them all the time, but whenever I get a craving for them I will hurt myself on them. Great, now I'm craving liver. Maybe liver & black eyed peas next.

Yes Sir.

Love um , Yum!

I prefer fresh or fresh frozen. I only eat the canned or dried varieties if that’s all I can get.

I've only had them fresh from the garden once that I can remember, from my Grandma's garden in Arkansas. I remember eating them, but was too little to remember now what they tasted like. I always use the dried peas.

I used to get a lot at a place outside Fredericksburg, but that farm shut down. When we go through Luling, they are usually available.

The Holy Grail

Man fresh black eyed peas are the bomb. My wife can eat her weight(116lbs) in peas and rice.

Man, I can't imagine having a wife that weighed 116lbs. I'd be scared to break something.

I guess I'm used to them big German kick boxer type women that you can wrestle with.

Yall put each other in the choke hold and then make babies.

Love me some Black eyed peas and those look fricking delicious

Yes sir!!!

Oh heck yeah!

I do eat them all the time. Best fresh but canned will do. Trappey's with japs is good for canned.

Can I come over for a bowl? Reminds me of meals my grandparents made.
Also where are you finding boneless hocks?

Can never have to much buttermilk on hand.

Never out of buttermilk! Just make your own with a little white vinegar or lemon juice and milk, to counteract the alkalinity of the baking soda in your recipe.
