Default What are "field peas"?

Hmmm. Didn't know they were ethnic; what eth are they? Anyhow, I keep a few
cans on hand to supplement a vegetable lunch. They go great with fresh corn
and some pretty string beans. To a couple of cans of rinsed and drained
field peas, I add a little water, one tablespoon of lemon juice and one/half
teaspoon of sugar. If you dare, stir in some fried bacon drippings. Polly
