Born and raised in Florida and of Georgia parentage, I always heard it was hog jowls too; however, my mother modified it to diced ham in the rice/black-eyed peas/tomatoes mixture with collards as a side dish. In my adult years I added other vegetables to the mixture as well. Any way it is prepared supposedly it gives good luck for the year.
