Herring with Mustard Dill Sauce, Red Onion and Apple will help bring a bright start to the new year.

My Mom is crazy for Pickled Herring. Me? Not so much, but it sure is pretty!

However, give me a 'Cannibal Sandwich' ANY day of the year and I'm Happy, Happy! :)

We just picked up two jars, LOL! It hasn’t failed us yet!
Happy New Year, FRiend!

Think I’ll stick with Hoppin’ John

I’ll take the usual.

Black-eyed peas, collard greens with ham hocks and cornbread.

Herring is Perfect Pitch

You can tune a piano but you can't tune a fish.

Thanks for the suggestions. Think we'll stick with the traditional German/Pennsylvania Dutch New Year's Day good luck dinner of pork and kraut.

Thanks, Hon! I'll have some on New Years Day while we watch The Rose Bowl.

Yum! I’ll be indulging in those while watching the Winter Classic hockey game on Saturday.

Sure, you 'can'!

My tradition is the same as yours.

Pickled herring with red onion, beets, and fresh dill.

Or a can of anchovies and a beer.

Herring....no thanks. I’ve been prepping all day for a Chinese buffet tomorrow night.

I’m comin’ to YOUR house! :)

I’m 3/4 German and some English from a Grandma and some Bohemian from my Mom. She’s a ‘watered-down’ Bohemian, so who knows where she gets this stuff?

I mean, the Germans RULED the Bohemians for all of their natural lives! I think she just pretends to be a Norski/Swede out of an ingrained persecution complex, LOL!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Holy mackerel, I guess you can.

Chop Suey Palace? LOL!

I had my herring traditionally on Christmas Eve, but now I guess I’ll have to make it again.

Pickled Safeway herring in vinegar + white onions + granny smith apple + hardboiled egg + sour cream + lemon juice (all chopped.)

Black-eyed peas (for luck), greens (collards, mustard or turnip) for money, ham or other pork cut for plenty of food in the new year. Southern traditional New Years fare is good enough for me. Pickled herring?.....
