I have misplaced my favorite recipe for Hoppin' John so I said to myself..."Why not go and ask the brothers of the region where it was first made?" As you may or may not know it is a traditional 'lucky' meal to ring in the new year.
I of course searched the internet but would really enjoy a true southern recipe handed down through the years.
Regards for a Happy New Year to y'all,

Black Eyed Peas on New Year's Day for good luck, of course (and, field peas are more flavorful, and most likely more traditional). | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | My daughter makes it but she is out of town and can't get the recipe.
