I'm so glad to hear there was a bit of good stuff in your day. I am grateful I just found out about Hoppin' John - just googled it and I think I might try a batch on the weekend.

Yes I first found out about it years ago when I was wondering what to do with black eyed beans. I make it with vegan sausages scrambled up separately and added in at the end. Plenty of onion and garlic. And eat it with basmati rice and lime pickle. If you do try it I'd be keen to know how it goes.

I used to make similar with sliced Spanish chorizo instead of bacon.

I should make it again, it's easy and delicious and very satisfying
