Black eyed peas?
« on: January 08, 2010, 03:09:19 PM »
Hi everyone,

I tried a search on this, both on the net and in the shops and I simply cannot find anywhere that sells black eyed peas.

I have seen them in a soup I bought from the 'good for you' range by sainsburys so I'm sure someone must sell them.

Can anyone help?

Thanks for reading.

They're called blackeyed beans here. They'll be with the other tinned beans in any supermarket.  :)

Sainsbury's definitely has them, dried and canned/carton.

Sometimes you have to go to more than one stop, even in the same chain, to find something like this.  If there isn't a market for beans, a <insert chain shop name> might have very limited selection.  That is why some people will come to this board not being able to find things like black beans when the Sainsbury's nearest to us has loads, both cooked and dry.

If your local grocery shop doesn't have them, you could try "ethnic" shops or a proper HFS.  You could also see if any of the chains have them online and order a delivery as well as your peas (if you're desperate  ;)).

I found them in the Caribbean food section at Asda.

Called Black Eyed Beans here - and we got them in Morrison's with all the other dried pulses.

The grocery stores around us sell them as does our local Co-op, however they're in the dried beans section.  You may also want to check out the world foods and specialty diet sections - you never know where they'll stick 'em.   ;)

If I can't find them at Sainsburys then I can always find them at my local oriental shop. But they're always dry, I've yet to find them canned.

My Tesco has them. Called black eyed beans, and they are with the kidney beans/canned tomatoes, that kind of thing.

Try the biggest Tesco you can find...my local one doesn't have it, but the bigger ones seem to.
