@box464 @evan Never. Black eyed peas are awful!

@AlliFlowers With enough bacon grease, butter and cornbread you can’t even taste the vegetables, I promise.

@basil U.S. southern tradition. You eat them for prosperity in the new year!

Seeing what happened in the previous years, I'd avoid the black eyed peas.

@GustavinoBevilacqua I do usually avoid most black eyed peas.

@alexandra Maybe it's a southern U.S. thing we cook black eyed peas (I add bacon, onions, garlic, chicken broth, simmer for hours) and collard greens to bring luck for the new year! The exact day is up for debate...

Any traditions like that in the great north?

@alexandra It's probably not the healthiest way to bring in the new year. 😆
