Poll: Did you eat black eyed peas today?

[Anonymous]

The subject says it all.

[Anonymous]

Thanks for the reminder! I bought a can but forgot to make them.

[Anonymous]

No, but if my mom or DH were alive, I would have.

[Anonymous]

Yes

[Anonymous]

No, I ate lentils.

[Anonymous]

No. I had never heard of that til I moved to Baltimore. But they are yummy.

[Anonymous]

Ham, black eyed peas, collard greens, and cornbread.

[Anonymous]

No, nor did I eat collards. It’s a tradition that’s wasted on us since no one in our household likes them.

I am black, from SC and this was not in my family tradition. I learned if it recently, and other than cornbread, my DH and kids would not have eaten any of this even if I could cook it well. But I had forgotten. About this today anyway.

Yes. And collards and pork and sauerkraut.

[Anonymous]

No. I don't like peas or believe in superstitions.

[Anonymous]

No. But did have pork and sauerkraut. Made the kids each eat one strand.

[Anonymous]

Yes, with ham and cornbread. No collards, though.

So you don’t do anything for Halloween either, I take it, with your definition of “superstition.”
