[@globalcetzen5271]

I’m a Ghanaian of the Erveh/Ewe tribe. My people brought the cultivation and consuming of black eye peas to not only the Ghanaian culinary culture, but it was also popularized all across the West Afrikan Coast by many of our kinsfolk who settled in the Yoruba lands, Benin and Togo. In fact I smiled all through your video because, you proved my late grandmother ‘👑Akuyo Mansa’ right, about those stories she told us under the Afrikan moonlight, about the Sons and Daughters of Afrika in the the Americas and Islands being of Hebraic descent. 🤔 Seeing how important cooking this dish for the New year is to my people in the American diaspora, made me realize that nobody can obscure who you Truly are. In Ervehland, this dish is prepared and eaten thick, drizzled with spiced palm oil and pre-toasted or instant cassava grits, aka ‘gari’, with a side of fried ripe plantains… Our history runs deep as a people, and no amount of oppression and revisionist history can ever change that. 🤗Just watching you cook these beans so thick like an Erveh tribesman and using the recipe we call ‘Veh-yi’ in the Ewelands of West Afrika was astonishing. The seasoned meat is surely an American adaptation but I know you are aware that Afrikans brought these beans to the Americas. These wonderful beans sustained us on our Journey from the land now called Israel, where we Trekked after decades of invasions, which led us to flee and settle in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), then in the Nile Valley, Msraem (Egypt) Aka Keme also spelled Kemet, and thence to Mali, Sudan, then finally settling along the Gold Coast of Afrika. I am not preaching the so-called Hebrew Israelite doctrine at all, because my people owned that land long before 1946 when that nation was created. If you want to hear anything closest to the most ancient form of the Hebrew language in this world, speak to any West Afrikan of Erveh/Ewe origins. During our Exodus from the land now being fought over (which still sits on Mother Afrika’s tectonic plate), we were the only tribe obsessed with growing and harvesting these same beans my people hold so dear in the USA as a bringer of good fortune and that is because, it sustained our, Afrikan Ancestors centuries ago, after the people now known as the Jews and others like the Assyrians, left us no option but to flee after decades of invasions. My parents are Ghanaian and believe it or not, the most authentic Hebraic history, language, and culture can be found along the West Afrikan Coast aka ‘ The Gulf of Guinea.’ I hope you are not overwhelmed by my comment; but I had to do this because the evidence was far too glaring to ignore… We are not Israelites but rather the descendants of the real owners of that land being fought over… Have a very happy and prosperous New Year. 🙏🏾👌🏾

Bruh I’ve been watching your videos for over a year , I’m a chicano from oakland cal, my moms was married to a brotha , for 17 years , ol bruh was from Kentucky, happened to find his way to the Town and rolled with the notorious East oakland motorcycle club name the East Bay dragons 🐉, my point is , i always wanted to learned how to make that southern cooking like how he cooked it ,cuz im already knowing how to get down on my mexican cooking , but having the taste of both world of 2 different ethnicity is on hit especially, with no disrespect when slavery hit for yall ancestors to eat back up food as i call it , scraps is what it was or left overs , this here makes anyone proud to know the existence of real soul food , keep pushing much love n respect ✊🏽 and have a safe happy new year 🎆 wit a bang happiness.

That looks ridiculously good! I had already planned and set out some black eyed peas, and smoked turkey necks for New year's Eve dinner(and for some good luck). Definitely gonna try this method. If I were to add greens, it would be collard greens to go with.

I like a little black pepper sprinkled in mine. My grandma added black pepper to all her beans and peas: Large lima beans, great Northern beans, pinto beans, baby lima beans, string beans, black-eyed peas, june peas,....lol. My fav is great Northern beans with smoked ham cooked in them. 😋

Man this reminded me of how my grandmother used to do it. No mashing just low and slow until they thicken up on their own yea AB I know what I’m making this weekend.
