Mrs. Hugin is Russian/Polish descent, so the lucky meal is kielbasa, sauerkraut and dumplings every New Year.

Mother used to always cook black eyed peas and hog jowls for new years day. She almost never cooked collard greens because I didn’t like them. If one member of her family didn’t like something she would very seldom cook it.
She did cook mustard greens and turnip greens. Also what she called corn bread but everyone else calls corn pone. She also cooked an unusually good “hoe cake”.
Mother cooked Southern because that is the way her Mother cooked. She use a lot of grease but only a fraction of what my paternal grandmother used. Grandmother’s greens would be swimming in grease.
My brother said the reason Mother’s vegetables were so good was she used grease but not a lot.

Yum! I miss the bagels and lox, eggcreams, real NY-style pizza, but I love Southern cooking also. Pinging for later. Happy New Year everyone!

If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do) Lyrics
Oh, I love those Colorado RockiesAnd that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
Enjoyed those ballgames in ChicagoOn those windy afternoons
It's a big beautiful countryBut I'm never home too soon
It ain't Dixie,If it ain't Dixieit don't feel quite like home
My southern bloodruns deep and true, oh yeah
I've had good timesI've got a lotBut if it ain't Dixie,
When the leaves turn in New EnglandI love the chill that's in the air
I've walked the New York City sidewalksHad a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels, they're rollin' southwardHeaven's comin' into view, oh yeah
Home sweet home is AlabamaThat's what I look forward to
If it ain't Dixieit don't feel quite like home
My southern bloodruns deep and true, oh yeah
I've had good timesGot a lot of good friends too
If it ain't Dixie,If it ain't Dixie,
if it ain't Dixie Now my wheels are rollin' southwardAnd Heaven's comin' into view, oh yeah
Home sweet home is AlabamaThat's what I look forward to
If it ain't Dixie,If it ain't Dixie,

After about 1985, pork, both smoked and fresh, just wouldn't stay down.
So I had to substitute beef fat, either original beef jerky, or normally cracked pepper flavored.
The taste isn't the same, but it IS good.

There's not a lot of difference between bacon and hog jowl.
Both are smoked, salted and cured.
