Pork and sauerkraut is a northeast tradition.

After the pork and sauerkraut dinner as a pre-teen, I went next door to hang out and watch football and the italian mother, insisted that i have a couple of strands of sauerkraut for "good luck".

Because they’re good? I’m sorry, I’m German so I don’t understand the reason why you would not like them.

pork chops and sauerkraut are traditional holiday dishes, especially on New Year’s Day.

Never in my family. It was always spam and baked beans for Christmas dinner and the same for each day thereafter until we ran out.

Notice all the replies denigrating this in various ways.

Meanwhile post about Italian and Cajun and Irish stuff, you’ll get nothing but praise and accolades and “respect” for the tradition.

We get no respect, including the fact Germans are still THE #1 non-English immigrant group in the US all time. No one knows that. I guess cuz Germans don’t too their own horns.

My mom said that their tradition (Polish) was that whatever you ate on New Year’s Day was how you were going to live the rest of the year.

If you ate chicken or turkey, you’d have to scratch for a living.

But people feed pigs, so if you ate pork, you would be provided with what you need.

"Pork and sauerkraut is a northeast tradition."

Must be New England tradition. I live in New York State, and we usually had ham on New Year's Day.

Pork, collard greens, black eyed peas and corn bread Southern New Years meal. Pork for prosperity, collards for paper money, black eyed peas for coins and corn bread for gold.

I have a 5 pound wild boar roast ready to put in the crock pot tomorrow, along with sauerkraut that I will add when it is nearly done.

And I will make lots of mashed potatoes too!

Because that’s what my ancestors did!

Happy New Year!!!

Along with the P&SK, I throw in a can of white beans, to give it some more body. Corn cake on the side.

Trouble is that more SK producers are sweetening up their kraut, toning down its sourness with sweetness.

Kisslings was all out so had to get the silver floss. Country ribs. The key is straining the kraut and adding an apple.
