Oh yeah. Been a looooong time since someone posted a pic of some good ol cast iron cornbread in a different shape. Love me some cornbread corn ears.
Cmp1, they usually go by the name cow peas. They are a little unique, with a ton of flavor and make a kinda gravy when simmered for a long time.
Mississippi use to grow most of all cow pea seed.
Lots to choose from.
These were Mississippi Mud peas..

Interesting subject, all these peas. I grew up eating White Acre Peas. I'm sure I've had many others as well as the most common Black eye pea.

Lady Cream Peas are just another variety of the southern pea - in the same family as those more familiar, black-eyed peas, crowder peas, field peas and purple hull peas, to name a few... though there are literally dozens of varieties of them in each of those categories.
