[Sca-cooks] Risi e bisi

[Pat Griffin]

Since this dish is simply "rice and peas"  I would suspect thay yhere are as 
many recipes as there are in the Southeastern United States for "Hopping John".  
I also suspect it didn't enter the corpus until after the introduction of New 
World peas under that name.  There may have been dishes made of rice and Vigna 
species prior to this, then when the phaseolus were introduced, the recipe was 
change to the more easily used ones.  Many of the vigna species had to be boiled 
and hulled before being edible.
