A very popular 'dish' among our mixed-race population, the peas of choice being what we call "split peas".thumbs up wine

Would that be the same as what you call "cow peas"?
hey... di

cheers

Black-eyed peas, also known as cowpeas, are a common legume cultivated around the globe. Despite their name, black-eyed peas are not peas but rather a type of bean.

The black-eyed pea, which is also known as a cowpea, doesn't necessarily need to be soaked. But if you find yourself short on time, soaking black-eyed peas can make a true difference in regards to cooking time.

Food with intense flavor To the fragrant spices It must be given to Indian food. because of the spice and herbs Can be used to cook with a unique and delicious taste, especially "Chicken Biryani" or (Khao mok kai) is a popular menu that everyone must know. Plus, everyone can eat. With a not too strong taste- I like so much. Wow!!

Seems as though our East Indian settlers or maybe their descendants, may have gotten the names mixed up a bit. Even so, "Dahl and rice" will always be a popular and tasty dish in T&T.thumbs up wine
way way backI had a Mauritian girl-friend who would cook Gateaux Piments in the morning. Fiercely spicy, and based on dhal! Just wonderful!
I am foodie.
After seeing all these dishes, I am so tempted for it.

I didn't read all the above comments. Just read some comments. Mostly I don't read long comments because of my bad English. If there is any interesting topic, then I try to understand by translating with the help of google-translator.
