I just discovered Pidgeon Peas! They are really amazing healthwise...no fat, high fiber, high protein...a wonderful meal when combined with a grain! Tonight I made a beans and rice concoction with chicken and a little bacon in it...and it was excellent. Those pidgeon peas made it really shine! The peas are round, a little firmer (I believe) than most, and they kinda pop when you bite them! A lovely texture and feel in your mouth. Next I want to try eating them with just salt, butter and pepper and really taste their actual flavor.
