Three different rices...and cowpeas, cause I don't have enough dried legumes in the pantry.
So I made Hoppin' John. And had some smothered cabbage on the side. And it was the least photogenic meal made...maybe ever. But man it was tasty.
I can vouch for the quality of Carolina Plantation rices. Both the Carolina Gold and the Aromatic (basmati style) are delicious, and can be found in better supermarkets in the Carolinas. Well worth stocking up on.
Hoppin' John and smothered cabbage: truly Ugly-Delicious.

Man, I haven't seen that lovely dish in a loooong time. In the early '80s I used to order it at a wonderful restaurant in San Francisco called Square One.
