Recipe Notes

In the South it is traditional to make black eyed peas with bacon, salt pork or even sausage. The meat brings both saltiness and great umami flavor to the peas, but also brings added calories in extra fat.

"This is every cook's opinion - no savory dish without an onion, but lest your kissing should be spoiled your onions must be fully boiled."
