Our good luck food is herring. It’s a family tradition passed down from my mom’s side. Don’t begin a new year without it! Both sides being German, I remember bowls of Sulze my mom made, and spickgans my uncle brought; all served on Pumpernickel bread. MMMmmmmmmm.
I love pork ribs, and cabbage, but I’ll pass on the black eyed peas, thank you very much.
Fish is not my favorite food and I’ve only eaten herring out of those tiny cans on crackers. Salty as I recall. Black eyed peas are not a favorite of mine either, New Year’s Day is the only time I eat them.
