about a confederate unit from Texas eating cabbage and black-eyed
peas on new years day and that the entire unit survived and made it
home. (Of course the grandmother who told me the story is notorious
for mixing up and changing stories to fit her purpose, but it made a
good story. Not good enough to convince me to eat either peas or
cabbage.)
