In the South, it’s Black-eyed peas...
Black-eyed peas and fried cabbage here every New Year’s Day.
Yep, always
Don’t forget the cornbread, greens and hog jowls to go with those peas. You eat this to on New Year’s to get good luck for the year.
Each leaf of greens (turnip, mustard, collards or cabbage) you eat will grant you a green dollar each according to folk lore.
And cabbage.
