Moderators Travis In Austin Posted January 1, 2016 Author Moderators Share Posted January 1, 2016 Today, the tradition of eating black-eyed peas for the New Year has evolved into a number of variations and embellishments of the luck and prosperity theme including: See Also: New Year's Eve in the Southeast Served with greens (collards, mustard or turnip greens, which varies regionally), the peas represent coins and the greens represent paper money. In some areas cabbage is used in place of the greens. Cornbread, often served with black-eyed peas and greens, represents gold. For the best chance of luck every day in the year ahead, one must eat at least 365 black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Black-eyed peas eaten with stewed tomatoes represent wealth and health. In some areas, actual values are assigned with the black-eyed peas representing pennies or up to a dollar each and the greens representing anywhere from one to a thousand dollars.

T2K Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 As far back as I can remember my Dad and his Dad put a dollop of mayo on their black-eye peas. I've never had the guts to try it myself. Happy New Year! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) As far back as I can remember my Dad and his Dad put a dollop of mayo on their black-eye peas. I have been eating them that way since about 5 years old which is the better part of 46 years. My mom, dad, grandparents did it that way also.
