Peas, potatoes and ham - a Southern Meal
These are conch peas, which seem to be generally found in the Southern states of USA, from what I have been reading! I did this photo shoot and then proceeded to blanch and package five pints of these delicious little peas.
Earlier in the week, I bought some of these little peas at a farmer's market, not knowing what they were. I cooked them in salted water, flavored with smoked bacon. I steamed some new potatoes on top of these peas. Oh what a delicious Southern dish it was! So, I later discovered them to be conch peas - a popular field pea that's hard to find. This farmer's market acquired them as a trade with another farmer for tomatoes. I am so glad they did. If you want to try them, too, there are still a few bags at the Central Florida Hunsader's Farm!
