Tried this last year and it will be a tradition from here on out.
When I was a kid, we would go to Mississippi every summer and sometimes Christmas, cause that's where my folks were from- mom is one of 10 and dad is oldest of 7. Tons of family. Every summer My mom would search out blackeyes- butter or lima beans- buy about 4 bushels and make us set out under my grandmas 50-year-old pecan tree and shell those things. She would blanch and bag those things and freeze them- thank goodness we had a big old 64 Impala with a lot of trunk space, cause we also had to go by a packing house and buy some Mississippi smoked sausage. It' a flavor that I have only found from there and now you can order, and they will ship it to you. Seems like we ate those damn blackeyes all the time and when I got grown, I quit eating them. Mom would have us over for fried chicken and cook a batch with cornbread and I would eat those things like they were wonderful. I only eat them here and there now but really like to cook dry ones with a ham bone for New Years. Then there was the time back in the 70's, I was cutting meat for Humpty Dumpty. The guy I worked with, and I tried it on big time New year's eve and we both had to work New Years Day. About 11 we were dying and finally he called his wife and got her to run to Braum's and get us a burger and fries. We wolfed them down like we had just crossed the desert. Humpty played hell getting their moneys worth out us that day.

@swampratt is a traveling slaughter surgeon!
He stopped by yesterday on his way to hunt, I looked in his time traveling killing machine the “”Camo Corolla”” and saw a big ass stainless pot, knifes and several other killing tools. He travels prepared to hunt, kill and eat!
I like his style! A brother from another mother! A legend known far and wide!
HA I will eat black eyed peas, I like them .
I will eat just about anything.
My old hunting buddy has the flu and was still out hunting.
I picked him some Oyster mushrooms last night and left those with him and gave him my last can of V8.
You must eat those antiviral foods.

They thought themselves lucky to have had the black eyed peas to survive on, so black eyed peas are eaten to ensure good luck.
Collard greens were added to the meal to represent the Union greenback
They thought themselves lucky to have survived because of the Black Eyed Peas. They ate them each year for luck. The tradition evolved to include Collard greens to represent prosperity, green like the Union Greenback dollars.
Everyone can have black eyed peas if they want. I have decided to start the new year with steak,eggs, and hash browns.
