Foundation Georgia Caviar

000_0540
If I could get past the taste, caviar would be edible. I've had too much fresh seafood in my life to say that caviar is anything other than what it is, canned fish eggs. Would you eat canned chicken eggs? The only respectable part of caviar is the texture, and that is outstanding.
If you haven't guessed, I'm from the deep south. I have to look up to see Atlanta, any further down and you are in Florida, which is nothing but a Yankee transport destination. Mom, I finally used the caviar dish you gave me, thanks.

This dish is a work in progress, as I was not satisfied with the taste. Anywho, this is what I've made thus far

2 cups cooked black eyed peas, forget canned, get bagged and cook according to directions.
1/2 cup chopped purple onions
2 jalapeƱos chopped
lots of fresh cilantro chopped
splash of red wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 tbl cumin
salt & pepper to taste

Add all ingredients together and chill for a day. Serve with chips, as you would salsa.
Also I chopped the jalapeƱos then put in my contacts, a very bad idea. I think next time I will add some corn and perhaps some chopped tomatoes.
