Black-eyed peas. They turn up in the Carolingian Capitularies, as do
salt pork and a variety of greens. The transplanted southerners are
happy about that. Lentils too- and I've been cooking lentils with onion
and bits of carrots and some chicken broth and a bit of wine, and adding
cumin- a lot of it- and some grains of paradise. Sharpen it a tiny bit
with verjus or vinegar, and you have something a lot like chili that
isn't actually chili. :-)
