Southern Black-Eyed Peas & Ham Hock for .78¢ per Serving 

The banking cartels are destroying the dollar and deliberately causing food shortages and inflation so they can initiate the great reset and the new world order. Even the rich are gonna live like the homeless

I've been doing a lot of curry. It's really cheap

Curry chicken salad with golden raisins and some chopped veggies is great!! Toast us cheap white bread into "points" and feast with a salad

You've got that right! I've stocked up on a lot of canned goods and non perishables. These videos are definitely helping me keep track of what I still need to get, but when that's all said and done, it's still good.

I been eating alot of pasta. I'm half Italian, so I don't mind 🥸

@@jonathancormack u sure?

Yer I do food reviews while I’m high on my RU-vid channel 😳😳

Milk prices around here have been dropping along with a lot of things. Eggs can be purchased from farmers who aren't interested in gouging their customers. Rather than bitching, look a bit.

@@jonathancormack Yup, according to senile Joe, prices have never been lower. So quit bitchin’ and cut out drivin’ and eatin’.

@The Swamp Angel A box of cereal is $6.00 here in NorCAL.

Toss a little white rice on the side and you're golden.

My wife adds a little pickled jalapenos and juice to it for a really nive flavor.

@@ElJibaro718 for sure adding the rice would make it an even more 'stick to your ribs' meal and super filling. good idea!

@@JohnSmith-gq9gn jalapenos make everything better....! 🌶

I add green pepper and canned tomatoes to it and use either cayenne pepper or Chinese curry paste to spice it up a little. If he added rice, this would be what they call Hoppin' John. A lot of people in the south eat this on New Year's day for good luck.

That’s it. These proper cooking shows aren’t how the real world works. And thank you for your service and sacrifice brother.

Thank you for your service. Do you have a Venmo?

I appreciate these.

We all do.

Wow, I didn’t know Chinese folks ate black eyes! Amazing the things we have in common that don’t even realize!

Love me some homemade split pea soup. One of my all time favorites. Lentils as well.

Back in the day, purple was just a shade of red. It wasnt considered a different color. Same as orange, that was just a shade of yellow.

Throw sliced red onion in a jar with some salt, vinegar, and and smaller amount of water than the vinegar you used, make sure all the onions are covered. Let it sit in the fridge at least a day or two. The juice will not be purple. It will be red. You're welcome.

@@jamesbael6255 That doesn't change the fact that the onion is purple.

@@Peter..Griffin Nah. That ain't true.

​@@Peter..Griffin no.

If you live in the south ham hocks should be easy to find

From an online article on AgNet West.... "Peas and beans do look very similar and fall under the general seed family, but they aren’t the same. Peas are generally round while beans have a wider variety of shapes. Color also varies considerably with non-pea beans. Peas don’t usually vary that much in color - they’re mostly green. The stem of a pea plant is typically hollow, while beans have a solid stem structure. Arguably the biggest growing difference - and the most important for gardeners - involves the temperature requirements of each plant. Beans typically prefer hot, summer weather. They’re extremely frost sensitive and fail to produce when nighttime temperatures drop significantly. Peas, on the other hand, grow best in cooler temperatures. In the kitchen, there’s a marked difference between how beans and peas are handled. Peas being more delicate are usually frozen because they spoil a lot faster than beans. Beans, like kidney and pinto beans, require a long cooking period once harvested. They’re preserved by drying and require an even longer cooking time once dried. Beans can also be eaten fresh or dried, though they should be cooked thoroughly as some beans contain toxins which affect the digestive system (kidney beans in particular). Some peas, on the other hand, are delicious eaten raw-snap and English peas in particular."

Here in Canada, canned pea soup (sometimes made with ham) is widely available. Oddly, I have never seen it "fresh", either homemade or in a restaurant.

Nice of you to leave your "I have lots of money" comment when you know alot of the people watching this do not so good for you mr money bags hope it made ya feel like a big man 😜

Beans along with rice is very nutritious.

Yes! Delicious with bread and butter too.

And maybe greens too. Collard greens with beans.

That's what I'm saying. Would've helped a ton, and I had it worse than most.

We ate bean soup a lot. It wasn't until I was a teen that I knew that most people put onions, carrots or ham bones in it. I guess what we had was cooked beans in broth made with bacon grease we got from grandma.

@@itsjustme7487 whatever works man. As long as you fill your belly it's all good.

If your health issue is not due to allergies, have you thought about putting the beans in a blender, once cooked? Then it would be smooth. I hope you're able to find a solution.

Some ideas that might help: If it's a problem with digesting beans & not an allergy to all beans there's ways to make them easier to digest. Presoaking &/or cooking with kelp, ginger or epazote makes beans easier to digest. Pureeing the beans after they're cooked might help also. If you can eat lentils &/or split yellow or green peas try cooking the ham hocks longer in the 1st step then use lentils or split peas. Split peas (yellow or green) will take more water & swell up in cooking more than the black eye peas do. If it's an allergy it could be to all legumes (which probably includes peanuts) but it's also possible to be allergic to some beans but not all beans. Also if you're allergic to any grain especially wheat &/or corn grains & beans are often harvested, transported &/or processed with equipment used to process grains resulting in cross contamination causing reactions. If you can eat brown rice you could make this with brown rice instead of beans. If you add more water than you usually cook rice in & stir while it's cooking it will end up making a thicker liquid similar to the beans. Since brown rice cooks faster than beans cook the ham hocks longer before adding the brown rice. If it's not as thick as you want when it's done cooking mash a little of the rice to release more starch. I hope this helps.

@WinterWerewolf my husband is a Type 1, so the beans, lentils, and rice meals are very tricky for him to eat, and he can't have much on the rare occasion he tries some. As he's getting older (53) his blood sugar will go high and stay there for a stupid-long time, and of course, insulin is way-expensive. :/ Take care of you as best you can, whatever your ailment, and I hope you find your best nutrition. :)

@@future.homesteaderYou are very kind

The wonderful thing about these kinds of meals is how open to interpretation they can be, and what you have available at the time. A beef version sounds decadent.

@@PhoenixsFlames I agree! I love trying different versions of the same meal depending on what I have available. These videos are a great jumping off point and so versatile! Have an amazing day 😊

smoked turkey taste great in place of pork...I also don't eat pork

Here on the west coast, we can get Walla Walla onions which are pretty much the same as Vidallas. I don’t think that they are protected by origin.

Ain't that peachy?

And they taste great! My church has an annual sale of them and a lot of people snag a bag of them.

@@TI_Tajador they're literally the best onions to make onion rings with. They're also sweet enough you can eat them raw.

@@morrismonet3554 yeap. If stored properly and right condition a sweet onion like a Vidalia will last 1-2 months. A regular onion stored the same way can last up several months to a year maybe.

Ham hocks

I have returned my cans for refunds and I have counted pennies in a supermarket, and I still know he makes the serves tiny so he can use lower prices in his thumbnails for clickbait. People shouldn't be shamed into thinking they can survive on servings this small.

@@angelawossname You're reaching. That looks like a decent sized bowl. When you're poor, you really can't eat all you want. Maybe stop being so ignorant of other people's plight.

@@wintermoon7003 How do you know I'm ignorant? That's actually a pretty ignorant thing to say since I clearly said that I have had to return cans and counted pennies in a supermarket! It's because I am well aware of this plight that I call out this guy for shaming people just so he can have clickbait. Why do you think he needs to go on a rant every time he does these clickbait prices? It's because so many people will comment on how small the meals are.

@Richard Kistner You will if that's all you have to eat. I've never been there but my mother has.

No, Hoppin' John is a bit different..... "Hoppin' John, also known as Carolina peas and rice, is a peas and rice dish served in the Southern United States. It is made with cowpeas (mainly, Black-eyed peas, Sea Island red peas in the Sea Islands and Iron and clay peas in the Southeast US) and rice, chopped onion, and sliced bacon, seasoned with salt.[1] Some recipes use ham hock, fatback, country sausage, or smoked turkey parts instead of bacon. A few use green peppers or vinegar and spices. Smaller than black-eyed peas, field peas are used in the South Carolina Lowcountry and coastal Georgia; black-eyed peas are the norm elsewhere."

You from Michigan or something?

@@TransformersTalkRAW I think so

My ship's cooks were all either Yankees or Filipinos. They once tried to pass off Cream Of Wheat (which I loath" to us Southerners as "grits"! Huge difference. What I told the Filipino cook nearly got me knifed! 😳
