What Do You Traditionally Eat on New Years Day? (Vanity)

Posted on 12/31/2003 5:55:14 PM PST by annyokie

Just curious. Since I have lived all over the USA, and have a Southern family, I was curious as to what you all serve for New Year's supper.

I am making a ham, black-eyed peas, collard greens, ham (of course) and sweet potatoes.

When I lived in Pennsylvania everyone are pork roast and sauerkraut.

I'd love to learn about other regions and their traditions and to wish all a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year!

I always bought sweet tamales for Christmas when I lived in San Diego. They are the best!

Hog jowls, black-eyed peas and greens. Looks like I'm getting ham instead of hog jowls.

Pickled herring is okay if its the little "eat it off a toothpick" type. Otherwise, I agree, ugh!

My Mom's family are all from Louisiana, so black eyed peas were a must on New Years day for good luck! Sometimes I don't have them, and I really do worry, silly though it is!

Sounds about what we will be having tomorrow. Add cornbread and you would be spot on.
