Black eyed peas & greens (new years food)
My family of yankees  (JOKING) will not eat the black eyed peas & greens on new years - but I MUST. Is there a place that serves them here i.e. Houston has the "Black Eyed Pea". A place where I can carry on the tradition & my silly, rebellious family can have other food? 
Thank you in advance for helping my "mixed" family (lol) get along. |

I know what you mean. When I first moved to Tx (recoving Yankee that I was) I thought this little tradition was strange. Now, I love it, and although I'm currently living in Seattle, I'm heading to the store after work to pick up some black eyed peas and throw them in the crockpot with the hamhocks. Yumm. Can't wait!

There's a black eyed pea at Fredericksburg & Medical.
I'd bet that Luby's will be serving them as well.

You can even have a deep-fried Oreo there since you're being all healthy with the black-eyed peas. They're..........unusual.  |

Thanks
Got the black eyed peas and also snagged the last bag of frozen collard greens.
Canned peas and frozen vegetables. Not sure how this became a tradition but it beats the pizza I'm feeding to my kid. |

We had our black eyed peas! I trained my yankee husband well and my kids love them too! LOL
I hope you were able to find them. We always cook them at home.
