If you have never eaten a black-eyed pea, I would suggest you buy a can at your local grocery store and try them. To some, they are an acquired taste. To some, they are not good. To the rest of us, you don't know what you are missing!!
For cooking, just look at the bag. You soak them for a while and then you put them in a pot with some cut up onions and a couple of ham hocks or some rough cut ham and let them simmer per the instructions. The aroma is wonderful!! When done, you spoon them into bowls and enjoy!!
They go well with southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes or rice. Cornbread on the side. Pecan pie for dessert.
