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

[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!

Liberals.. The other white meat...

Huh? Pickled herring off a toothpick? That's no pickled herring, that's a Holiday Inn out of a can gourmet buffet item! Google 'pickle herring recipe' to see that pickled herring is actually an ethnic minority in the final mix.

In the Carolinas, my family has always had pork roast, sweet potatoes, blackeyed peas (or Hopping John), collard greens and cornbread! Happy New Year to All!!

Have you ever rolled your own? Tamales, I mean.

I got a 'kit' to make a dozen at home, and I made them last night.

I filled them with chicken, poblano peppers I roasted, and queso blanco.

YUM!

Pork done German style in some way. Of course sauerkraut. I'd heard that kraut is a cure for a hangover.

[annyokie]

I know. I've had it homemade and it is an, ahem, acquired taste, IMO.

We always have some version of po folk food. Black eyed peas of course and this year I got some 16 bean soup mix and will make bean soup to eat with ham hock and hot water corn bread and greens. Have to check whether I have good ole cider vinager or just that yuppie stuff. Got luziana hot sauce. yum.

[Sledge]

Y'all are making me hungry.

Black eyes peas with ham, collards and cabbage with ham, cornbread. Did I mention leftover Christmas ham?

[jolie560]

Lobster, sweet corn and a bottle of Beaujolais.

acquired taste

I know. I took it (homemade pickled herring) once or twice to an office potluck party. The second time with full knowledge that I'd end up with most of it myself at the end.

Funny, our family serves black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes pork roast and sauerkraut, warm apple sauce with Cinnamon, several different types of holiday specialty breads, pumpkin pie, and then the appropriate age discriminating beverage. It was that way when I was a little and ever since I started a family of my own in 1969 it's been that way.

[riri]

Good idea. I am always at a loss on what to do for New Years.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Corned beef and cabbage, carrots, red potatoes, and soda bread.

But as a Wolverine, tomorrow I will be eating USC Trojans.

[SwinneySwitch]

We have a Dukes Mixture: sausage, sauerkraut with apples from Ohio; black-eyed peas and tamales from Texas.

[CindyDawg]

What happened? I lost FR for a minute.

We buy ours from a lady at work. Usually 10 dozen. What is left over we steam at New Years. I like the chicken also but beans are a favorite of mine too.

[suzyq5558]

Navy beans w/ham and cornbread. fruit salad for dessert

[annyokie]

Mixed marriage, eh? Hubby does the pork roast and suaerkraut, I convinced him that Southern is better.

[skip2myloo]

I'd rather eat the toothpick :-)

[MissAmericanPie]

I'm serving barbqued sausage, black eye peas with big chunks of ham, yams with brown surgar and butter, corn bread and little green onions.

[Old Professer]

So did I; blip, I guess.
