Blackeyed Peas and Hog Jowl

[gizmom]

Talking about grits made me remember my favorite resturant closed this week....bummer they had the best corn grits I have ever had. Im sure gonna miss those grits! We always have black eyed peas with ham hock and don't forget to throw the dime in whoever gets the dime has a profitable year. We never have any left over peas!

I have never heard it called head cheese, used to like it as a child but not had it in years. My Dad used to make it, along with Black Pudding, I hate BP and the thought of it, one thing that wont get near my mouth yuck, so as you don't have to look it up, I've done it for you.....

:lol: Thankfully Mom and Dad never did make the blood sausage. Don't know of many that did. Head cheese (we called it sausage I guess becuase it was stuffed into the large intestine) to me was only edible if you smotherd it in mustard so you couldn't taste anything but the mustard. :lol:

We have boiled bacon, and bubble and squeak for new years dinner.

Got a receipe for that?

Did a search cause I never heard of Bubble and Squeak. Came up with a lot of variations.


You guys running it down know what it is?


I always put bacon in the blackeye peas and put bacon in when boiling cabbage. Potatoes always go good with blackeye peas and cabbage. So don't know what you guys have against what Chrisy is cooking.

vett you now "boiling " is a terrible crime against good bacon. Even when putting it in cabbage or peas it's better fried first.....something about boiled bacon just sounds almost as bad as boiled sardines poured over a slice of dried cow patty.

Agree, I guess I take for granted everyone would start by "rendering" the bacon in the pot with the onions and whatever before adding the blackeye peas or cabbage.

Now for the heck of it I might try boiling some like Chrisy does it and see if I can stomach it.. Might work better on a fish hook. :lol2:

Flatheads won't bite it. It would work for channel cat. Better to fish than ruin a good supper

I hear that Boogie...don't guess the stuff would ever ruin either. And a catfish would never tear it off the hook....might be on to something here.

Not tryin to tell yall how to cook your blackeyed peas, but if you throw in some okra along with that jowl and let it get good and slimy, that'll make your tongue slap your brain out.

Larry are you sure you're in Ohio?? That sounds more like coon a$$ cooking. :nod: :nod:

 

[farmwriter]

Now, in my neck of the woods, people throw a little okra in white peas - white acre, lady fingers, sadandies, zippers - not in dark peas like black-eyes.

The only thing I get about this post is the Black Eyed Peas, and I really like their music.. :lol:

I was raised on Black pudding, Brawn, made with pigs feet and garlic and Borscht, great food, really worth trying if any of ya'll get the chance.

Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, oh yes.

Blackeyed peas and ham hocks it will be! At least we are able to find those ingredients. Have looked high and low for grits with no luck.

That dont surprise me. A few years ago, I was doing a job in Iowa. Cornbelt capitol of the world right? Couldn't find a store anywhere that carried cornmeal. How are you supposed to make cornbread without meal?

The wife drove up over a holiday weekend and brought some from home. She made chicken dumplins and cornbread all weekend. Those folk was even pourin honey on the pone. That just aint right.

As to the blackeye peas. YUP!
