OMG Crowder Peas!

You can call them crowder peas, field peas, whiteacre, whatever.......I
love 'em.

I live in SC and we have them at the farmer's markets in the summertime.
I bought some a couple of weeks ago and was in heaven. I shelled them,
put them on to cook after lunch covered with water and a couple of
slices of bacon. About 3 hours later, I start tasting, adding salt,
water and red pepper flakes. By dinnertime, I've almost had a bowlful.

A side of cukes and onion in vinegar, some fresh corn on the cob, or
fried okra, pan fried cornbread.....I'm fully satisfied.

I'll even eat the leftovers in a bowl with corn chips the next few days
if there's no cornbread left.

I've never been a fan of the frozen ones, but the canned ones will do in
a pinch!
