“Whats the simian for it?”
As we are not related to the apes, we cannot know what words, or sounds, or signs they have–if any–for blackeyed peas, or any other siman. Maybe Dian Fossey or Jane Goodall wrote it down somewhere.
BTW, my m-i-l, she should live and be well, always ate the fish eye but would leave one for whichever grandchild wanted it, as long as there were no fights resulting in blackeyed kids. She is over 90, k9ahara, so maybe there are unknown benefits to this custom. Can’t hurt to try it, right?
Gefilte fish, so you should be filled with blessing throughout the year.
