Every New Year's Day we have a party and serve black eyed peas,
collard greens and cornbread for health, wealth and luck. This is a
particularly southern US tradition. I was wondering how everyone else
celebrates New Year's Day, with regard to the food.
Happy New Year!

Husband is originally from the south, so this is our New Year's
tradition as well. In the early years of our marriage when money was
very tight, I would comment about how well it was working :P He would
respond "Just imagine if we didn't eat them!"
My grandmother always made a pork roast and sauerkraut to get the
desired results, which as a child, I found less than thrilling :)

LOL! My DH would make snide comments about the effectiveness of the
Lucky Food Tradition, but I persisted.
When I was small, we had no New Year's Day tradition as far as food
went. Neither of my folks is from the south, and neither had such a
tradition. The 1st time I learned about black eyed peas for New
Year's, I was about 16 years old, working in a fast food restaurant on
New Year's Day. The manager instructed us to put small cups of peas
on each plate (it was a fish joint) and I thought it was weird. My
friends told me about the southern tradition, and I've been doing it
ever since.
