Cause of this thread I posted my black eye pea thread. Growing up poor beans were a big part of our food and we ate them often. We used different meats for seasoning when we had it to use. Blackeye peas were often cooked with left over chicken from sundays family BBQ. White beans were cooked with sausage or lefto over ham. Pinto beans were always cooked with left over pork or tasso actually for years I thought that was what folks ment when they talked about pork and beans. Pinto's with chopped up pieces of left over bbqed pork. Didn't meet my first can of beans till in high school, need less to say mama's were better.
