New Years Day & Black Eyed Peas?

[gotta cruise again]

Does Princess serve Black Eyed Peas on New Years Day? Hopefully "yes" as DH loves to have them that day even though he's not superstitious!

Black eyed peas seems to be a southern US tradition as growing up I had never heard of it. After moving to the southwest I learned about it but still do not practice it. I had heard in other posts that they do offer black eyed peas on New Years day. So I hope your DH gets some but he can have it all. :D

Just to be safe, stick a can of Black Eyes in your luggage. I'm sure someone will warm them for you.

Ask when you get on the ship. If you take a can ask if they can cook them for you. You might be surprised on what they will do.

Along with black eyed peas, we also serve cabbage with our New Year’s dinner. We grew up in Louisiana and still follow this southern tradition.

I don't know if they do, but it would definitely be in their interest for Princess to serve black eyed peas on New Years Day.

 

If you eat black-eyed peas on New Years Day, then you will have money throughout the year. If I have money throughout the year, then I will spend a bunch of it on more cruises.:) If I don't eat black-eyed peas on New Years Day, then I will not have the money to go on more cruises.:(

Princess should send a coupon for a can of black eyed peas to every former passenger.

As an adult, there's two foods that will never touch my lips. Black eyed peas and liver and onions. I've never seen them on any cruise, there must be a reason why!

[gotta cruise again]

For us, we used fresh black eyed peas, NEVER canned!! They are cooked with stock and bacon--yum. And yes, we are from the south. Though DH isn't superstitious, if more money for cruising came our way, he sure wouldn't turn it down LOL !!

 

Since grits are sometimes seen on the menu, maybe they'll have the black eyed peas for New Years Day...

Isn't that three things? :confused:

 

Everybody doesn't like something. :(

Our New Year’s Day dinner -black eyed peas, cooked cabbage and cornbread -it has been the same for over 60 years. It is suppose to bring good luck,good health and good wealth. Maybe one day😥. We use-dried beans. Definitely not from a can and didn’t care for the fresh peas

YUM!! DH isn't into cabbage but I'd love to have these 3 all together...maybe they'll have them all on the cruise (though I don't remember ever seeing cornbread ever served, but could have missed it).

Exactly, have black eyed peas and turnip greens on New Years day and you will have money all year. Has always worked for me and I’m not taking any chances.

We have seen cornbread squares in the buffet on some of our cruises

I'll pay better attention but my guess is that I've missed it as I try to avoid the bread type items :halo: to save the calories for dessert :eek: !

I agree wholeheartedly. My parents used to eat liver and onions on occasion but even the smell of my mother cooking that stuff was nauseating. I would leave the house. One other item which I had never seen or heard about until moving to the southwest was grits. I find them tasteless and notice that those that love them usually have them literally floating in butter (my heart just skipped a beat thinking about eating it).

 

To the poster that claimed there were three items in the original post, there were only two: black eyed peas and "liver and onions". Liver and onions is a single disgusting dish. :)

[satxdiver]

I have seen cornbread offered in the HC and have tried it. I like cornbread but their version is awful to me. Others may like it.

[coo359a2]

We like the way we make cornbread so don’t try others we see-too picky I guess. Plus we give up bread and desserts for other good foods high in calories.

Liver and onions is one dish, black eyed peas is the second dish and neither will I ever eat. Just thinking about it makes me wanna hurl. True dat, everybody doesn't like something, and there's a reason why Princess doesn't have those items on the menu. :eek:
