Reply:Oh goodness! Love it, but I didn't know it was good luck. I always do the blackeyed peas, cornbread and a cabbage slaw. It has onions, tomatoes, green pepper,cabbage and has a dressing of apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt and black pepper. It is so good with the peas !! If you have cucumbers, add them too.
