Hoppin' John (who knows why it's called that!) is a Southern recipe that supposedly brings good luck because of the black-eyed peas. I guess they look to the future??? Idk!! We are NOT Southern. We are Midwestern, but I ran across the recipe a long time ago and thought we needed some good luck. We found we liked the dish very much and now I make it every New Year's Day. It makes so much that we were able to have our third night of eating it. A friend of ours from Germany had never heard of it, either. I'm not surprised that it's new to you. 20 days ago
