ORIGINAL: MiladyElaine Listen to them- LOL do they snap, crackle, and pop? I love to smell them cooking almost as much as eat them. Did a little reseach since I last posted. There's two possible origins. It did originally start during the Civil War. Seems Union soldiers came by raiding houses for food, etc. and took everything BUT some dries black-eyed peas, which they considered cow peas. The other story says they burned the fields of everything BUT the black-eyes, considering them "weeds". The southerners were so grateful to have them they made a tradition to have some every New Year's since the raiding and burning took place on a New Year's Eve night. Thanks Milady, For doing the reserch, I like gathering bits of trivia. Good info!
