ribcap and blackeyed peas?

Fixing a big pot of blackeyed peas and smoked pork jowl in the crock pot.

Should I have the beef or pork ribcap with them? Any recs on other side I should consider?

Happy new year!!!

I’d say stay Southern. Go for the Pork.

Glad to see another pea-eater.

I wonder how widespread that custom is? Our family interpreted it that we actually had to eat black eyed peas for breakfast on Jan 1. Sometimes that means having a kitchen that smells a little like it is full of wet dogs…

Not that I dislike B.E.P. In fact I wonder sometimes why it generally turns out that I =ONLY= have them on Jan 1. We had them at least a couple of times in 2009 because we went to a Soul Food restaurant (Delta’s in New Brunswick) and they were unavoidable…

You doing collards too?

We do Mustard greens. I have always liked them better not sure why. I use a recipe simmilar to this one.

Wew do bep about once a month. Cornbread from scratch and usually some country ham to go with it.

MMMM it is good to be a southern boy!!!

We do a black eyed peas/southern menu for New Years Day as well…Traci is a “southerner” so it works perfectly/
