Black eyed peas are often called Crowder peas and cow peas. Cow peas are actually black eyed peas but Crowder peas are a different pea. You could substitute Crowder peas in this recipe if you like. I like to cook mine down so I get a nice rich thick pea gravy also a nice fat fresh smoked hammock or pork jowl is awesome , ask your butcher.
