I used to have a friend, Atlanta native, who mentioned
eating Hoppin John.  He said it was made w/ BE Peas &
Rice and I never pursued the recipe past those 2 items
(don't like either).  ;-)

Growing up in OK, I don't remember hearing of any "traditional"
New Year's foods, other than black-eyed Peas (yuk).   I never
eat them, so I hope that hasn't "damaged" my "luck".  ;-)

BTW -- I have a McCoy question.  Some of the McCoy pieces
seem to just be marked USA on the bottom (no McCoy).
Was that done during a certain period of time or was it
done always for only certain items or what??
