My parents always told us to eat our black eyed peas, collards because of the greenbacks and change (coins) thing. They also told us that the hog jowls were for prosperity. I never understood why eating hog jowls would make you prosperous, but I love smoked hog jowls.

My parents usually planted mostly Purple Hull peas, but would always plant enough black eyed peas for New Year’s Day. For the past 3 or 4 years I have bought a can of Hoppin’ John for New Year’s Day.

I love a good glass or small bowl of cornbread and buttermilk with a little black pepper or onion.

I’ve never been a fan of rutabaga, but I buy purple top turnips, wash them, peel them and eat them raw.
