Black-eyed Peas and Collard Greens or Corned Beef And Cabbage For New Year's Day?

[westwall]

Well, which is it in your neck of the woods?

I will pass on both. I like foods that taste good.

Grill ready. Will burn for about 8 hours at roughly 220 without ever needing more coal.

Do you open any vents at all? I have a Weber as well and I've always wondered if that worked.

Same in my family--wife doesn't like black-eyed peas, so we don't have them.

Same here, wife didn't like black-eyed peas.
But I made sure they were on the dinner table.
When the kids saw their mother wouldn't eat them.
They followed her lead and refused to eat them. ...

It works VERY WELL. Yes I vent it. If I nearly complete the circle it will burn for about 10 hours

I had the same experience. Another one was hominy--she doesn't like that either, but I can get her to eat a little pozole.

I'll eat hominy but not a big fan.
But I love grits with butter, and especially cheese grits. ..

Pozole is great. The hominy is saturated with the flavors of pork or chicken and typically with two or three types of chili--top it off with some cilantro, onions and some shredded cheese--MMM, MMM.

Never heard of it but sounds like something I need to try.
Next time I go to south Texas to visit relatives.
I'll stop by my favorite little Mexican food place and order some ..

It is a Mexican soup dish and many people eat it on New Years day for luck. It is pronounce po-so-lay.

Went to a small Mexican cantina on Saturday mornings and had Menudo.
(said to be the national hangover cure in Mexico)
Looked up Pozole and said it's basically the same dish as Menudo, except they use different meat in the recipe.
Pozole uses pork, sometimes chicken.
Menudo uses tripe, (cow stomach).

Grilled tuna....and jalapeno alfredo with shrimpz

I've never had Menudo--couldn't get past the tripe. LOL

When I was around 5 my mom made homney, rhubarb, hamburger helper & liver ALL THE TIME.

I don't eat trash food anymore. That shit was fucking nasty. I'd rather OD on Taco Bell or Hardee's and they suck too

I'd agree with you on the hamburger helper and DEFINITELY on the liver, but I like rhubarb and hominy. Hominy is just popped corn--popped a different way.

 

[Sunni Man]

My favorite meal is liver and onions.
I'd rather eat liver than steak.
Liver falls into the either hate it or love it category.

Count me among the former.

Menudo is a very spicy dish.
But yea, just the word "tripe" turns people off from even trying it.

Personally? I don't understand why anyone wouldn't like black eyed peas, as there are a whole bunch of different ways to prepare them, and all are good in my book.

I make them in a pot with a hunk of ham hock in for seasoning. Makes the most delicious "pot likker". Poured over cornbread is another side.
