* Notes

Lady Cream Peas is a southern item. I bought my dried  Lady Cream Peas from the Camellia Brand online. Depending where you live you might find them in  your local grocery. Here is the  link for Camellia...https://www.camelliabrand.com/shop-online/. If  you love Black eyed Peas you could use them as a substitute. I prefer the Lady Cream Peas because of the  mild flavor they have.
