My mother raised us on black eyed peas. I love the purple hulled black eyed peas (I don't care how much they stain my hands and finger nails). This makes me want to make some black eyed pea patties. Black eyed peas are good.

Purple hull peas and black eye peas aren’t the same thing.

I’m black and my entire very large extended family is from the South. I never had Black Eye Peas until I was an adult because all of my older relatives hated them and refused to eat them. Our cousin Spicey says black eye peas make her windpipe hurt. 😂. I tried them, and it’s a no for me too. Might be genetic aversion. In my family we eat purple hull peas. Some of my relatives have/had farms and would give my grandmother entire sacks of peas. I have fond memories of many days my grandmother had me and my cousins shelling peas, shucking corn and so on. ❤.

I wouldn't eat them out any other beans growing up because my mom used to over cook them until they were like batter almost. Then one day at a function a lady made 5 bean soup with beef and served it over rice. I was sold instantly. I make my beans with smoked turkey and lots of onion and garlic. House be smelling so damn good! Now I want to try the black eye peas with sugar and whatever, the way they make it in Africa.

I used to help my dad with the garden. I was the one who did all the planting, because he did all the plowing. I know everything about peas. I used to pick 3 rows until the bushes were cleaned. We purple hud, black eyes, and Dixie Lee Crowder.
