          A little food history Thanks to Wiki...

          In the Southern United States, eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day is thought to bring prosperity in the new year.

          There are several legends as to the origin of this custom.

          In the Southern United States,[4] the peas are typically cooked with a pork product for flavoring (such as bacon, ham bones, fatback, or hog jowl), diced onion, and served with a hot chili sauce or a pepper-flavored vinegar.

          The traditional meal also includes collard, turnip, or mustard greens, and ham. The peas, since they swell when cooked, symbolize prosperity; the greens symbolize money; the pork, because pigs root forward when foraging, represents positive motion.[5] Cornbread also often accompanies this meal. The cornbread represents gold.

          Two popular explanations for the South’s association with peas and good luck dates back to the Civil War. The first is associated with Gen. William T. Sherman’s Union Army's March to the Sea, during which they pillaged the food supplies of the Confederates. Stories say peas and salted pork were said to be left untouched because of the belief that they were animal food and not fit for human consumption. Southerners considered themselves lucky to be left with some supplies to help them survive the winter, and black-eyed peas evolved into a representation of good luck. In other traditions, it was a symbol of emancipation for African-Americans who had previously been enslaved before the civil war who became free officially on New Years Day.[6][7]

          Other traditions point to Sephardic and Ashkenazi southerners - who were prominent slaveholders in Southern cities and plantations.[8] The "good luck" traditions of eating black-eyed peas at Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, are recorded in the Babylonian Talmud (compiled circa 500 CE), Horayot 12A: "Abaye [d. 339 CE] said, now that you have established that good-luck symbols avail, you should make it a habit to see qara (bottle gourd), rubiya (black-eyed peas, Arabic lubiya), kartei (leeks), silka (either beets or spinach), and tamrei (dates) on your table on the New Year" (Horayot 12A). However, the custom may have resulted from an early mistranslation of the Aramaic word rubiya (fenugreek).

          A parallel text in Kritot 5B states one should eat these symbols of good luck. The accepted custom (Shulhan Aruh Orah Hayim 583:1, 16th century, the standard code of Jewish law and practice) is to eat the symbols. This custom is followed by Sephardi and Israeli Jews to this day.[citation needed]

                You can use whatever sausage you like in the recipe. Make it hotter or less heat to your liking.

                Grandma's Southern Peas

                I cook most of this to taste. So add what you like.

                4 cans (15 oz) black-eye peas or 1 lb dry peas ( 7 cups soaked peas )
                3 cans (15 oz) stewed tomatoes
                2 med onions coarsely chopped
                8 okra pods cut in 1/4" slices
                4 cloves garlic cloves, chopped fine
                1 tsp cayenne (use more for a little more zing)
                3 Jalapeno peppers, cored, seeded, and coarse chopped
                4 Tbs hot sauce to taste
                Salt and black pepper, to taste
                1 lbs ham, smoked and cut into 1/2" cubes
                1 lbs Andouille or smoked sausage, cut 1/2" slices
                1 lb thick sliced bacon
                1/4 cup flour

                1. In a large pot, cook bacon til crisp and then remove from pot. Leave drippings in pot.

                2. Add onions to drippings and cook on med heat til tender

                3. Add undrained peas(if canned), undrained tomatoes, garlic, okra, Jalapeno peppers, and some water. Let simmer for about 15 minutes

                4. Add salt and pepper, cayenne pepper, and let simmer for about 15 minutes

                5. Add in bacon ( broken into pieces ), ham, and sausage. Simmer uncovered for about 1 hour

                6. Add in flour. Turn up the heat to a slow boil. Then turn heat down and simmer for about 1 hour ( stir frequently ) or until it thickens.

                Tips
                Serve with cornbread

                      I should have bumped this last week when I got the ingredients to make this. I made a pot this morning house smells great and every time they get stirred they get tested. They get better every taste test.

                            Making a big pot of Grandma's Southern Peas has become a New Year's Day tradition for Pam and I.
                            These and a pan of cornbread with lots of butter.
