I love this recipe! It's so easy to make, and the peas are always delicious. I especially like to serve them with cornbread and collard greens.

These black-eyed peas were a disappointment. They were bland and mushy. I won't be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my peas turned out mushy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These black-eyed peas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. I probably won't make them again.
