• tip
• A word about peas: When Southerners talk peas, also known as southern peas or cowpeas, they often are talking about what people in other parts of the country call beans. Most have a small but pronounced eye that marks where the pea was attached to the pod. (Eyeless cream peas are among the exceptions.) For obvious reasons, Southerners also fondly refer to the peas as "shellies," and as a result of the hours I spent as a child shelling them, I can attest to the sad fact that they take a lot longer to liberate from their shells than they do to eat.
