In the same family as Black-eyed peas. They tend to have a creamier taste to them.
I have eaten them since I was a kid. GrandMa always made them.
 
I grew up calling those Black-eyed peas. By any name, they look good, so does that pork steak.

Looks great! I had never heard of purple hulled peas, black eyed peas yes, but interesting to know that there are variations.

They are in the same family. Black-eyed peas and Purple hull peas (Vigna unguiculata) are a variety of the cowpea and are part of the family of beans & peas (Leguminosae or Fabaceae in the USA). Although called a pea, it is actually a bean.
 
The pork steak looks tasty, but those peas! Thanks for helping me figure out the menu for Sunday!

I've got a 24x12 purple hull pea patch and the plants are just starting to form pods. I'm looking forward to the first batch of peas. Pork steaks might be on the plate as well. Yours look very good.

Our family loves field peas and cow peas. Cow peas are great for small gardens and are prolific producers around here. We have plenty of them out of this summer's garden efforts...now I need to round up some pork steaks!
