We frequently make our Hoppin John soup for New Year's Day.  It contains
black eyed peas, ham, and collard greens along with other stuff.  Black
eyed peas seem to be a New Year's tradition for a number of people.  One
year I went to the grocery to get a bag of dried black eyed peas, but
they were sold out.  The did have bags of fresh black eyed peas -- so I
got them.  BIG mistake.  The soup was no where near as good.
