[Sca-cooks] OT: OOP recipe help

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Black eyed peas come from North Africa according to About.com
http://southernfood.about.com/library/weekly/aa052597.htm>

The Food Timeline <http://www.gti.net/mocolib1/kid/food.html>
lists Hopping John documented to the 1830's.  I bet the
Africans called it something else back on the home continent though.
