I think cabbage and pork are always good together, since I do not care for black-eyed peas Id probably fish them out and give them to my husband who'd love everything about your traditional dish, and he'd especially love your beverage.<br /><br />I have never heard of this chocolate, and will have to look it up too.<br /><br />So sorry for your loss of Rose.

If you like beans, black eyed peas are more beans than peas (IMO) - and cooked with onion, garlic, a little bacon and ham - can be quite good.
