"taint necessarily so "

This is , I am sure, a good dish but true Southern it is not. "hoppin' john" in the old south was always cooked with dry black eye peas and the rice was prepared separately. Hoppin John is created when the cooked peas are spooned over the rice. The other truism is that the peas are seasoned withsome form of pork seasoning and the hot sauces are added over this. It would never be the case that breakfast sausage would be used to season this fine dish. (the old cooks had no such thing anyhow). The other basic ingredient that would be found in the cooking of the peas would be onion.
