That looks delicious. I love black eyed peas over rice.

I know South Louisiana loves black eyed peas, but those purple hull peas with smoked ham hock and okra will change your life. A little fried okra on the side with a cut up tomato you can thank me later.

I do not understand why purple hull peas aren't sold in the grocery store. Hands down the best pea/bean to cook.

and OP you need to smash those black eyed peas a bit and make it creamier.

Love black eyes but give me purple hulls with some smoked pork any day. My mom always brings me some frozen from her garden every year. Original seeds come from my Great Grand Fathers freezer in Forked Island when he dies in 1992.

There has not been an edible pot of black eyed peas cooked in America since my grandmother died. Her black eyed peas mixed with crumbled homemade corn bread was unbelievable.

There ya go. I like mine or purple hulls over a slice of cornbread. Coat the bread w/ a light layer of Duke’s before pouring the peas over. Good stuff.

I'm pretty sure the Walmart in Marksville, LA has them. Don't go to that Walmart unless necessary. It's not the best. Avoyelles Parish has limited options.

Crumbled cornbread in your Black Eyed Peas. I have never heard of, but it sounds pretty damn good..

Need cornbread.

I prefer pickled pork, but any smoked meat is great. I smoke the hocks of the deer and pigs I shoot for peas, beans, greens, ect.

It sounded bad when I first heard it. Then I tried it. Dayum.
