RE: South Carolina "hoppinJohn" - Plant based version Canadian made

"Because this dish traditionally contains bacon, pork or other meat, I am not sure if I have the right to call it "Hoppin' John"."

Oh, you can definitely claim the right! The meat isn't as important as the black-eyed peas and rice, and your inclusion of onion & smoky peppers deserve kudos! And if that wasn't enough, you certainly redeemed yourself with the inclusion of collard greens, another old Southern staple! I love how you plated the collards around a mound of Hoppin' John in the middle! So clever! As a born-'n'-raised Southern Belle, I give this dish a gold star ⭐️ award! 😁

Yaeaaaay!!!!! I feel like I just heard a bell of victory. I honestly love it so much. Peas and rice are a perfect thing to store for long term. I don't make collards that often but now I wonder why. Thanks for letting me know about this dish. Marc loved it too!
