Black-eyed peas and fried cabbage here every New Year’s Day.

My mother’s family was Savannah crackers.
New Year’s dinner is ham, greens, and Hoppin Johns

Pierogis...That was tonight’s dinner. I cooked a strip of bacon with my butter/onions. Will do again.

It’s a big tradition for New Year’s Day, here in PA.

Ham hock and barley (moms traditional)
Beans and spuds (mom in law)
Me? I vary but it’s usually a simple meal because Christmas has been a dining extravaganza. Heck, the lead up to Thanksgiving was pretty good too!
So wild rice and tiny sweet peas this year. And thank the Lord!
Been eating real good since the run up to Thanksgiving...Fish & Game, Surf & Turf, Italian, Southern, Southwestern, Gullah... ever since mid November. Whew!

We would have this most years, dad's request (full blooded German). Do enjoy it till this day along with plain potatoes (boiled, mashed, or baked) Being Southern, we also had blackeyed peas on the table (which he called sow's food).
The peas were eaten; especially good with slivers of jalapeno pepper and bacon grease cooked with them.

Well, I don’t recall that for my family, and my moms family were pork packers in Baltimore.
We are big on sauerkraut though. And while I appreciate the simple pork with sauerkraut, our family recipe of sausage meatballs cooked in sauerkraut is really much more spectacular!

Northeast?
There are hardly any Germans beyond New York. New England has virtually no trace, except my (Wisconsin) grandparents ended up in Maine with all their children and most of them are also very New-Englandish.
Meanwhile Maryland was a huge port for Germans, but we hardly get any credit (either Maryland, or Germans). Never mind the oldest broods all along the Appalachians in mid-Atlantic.

Don’t forget the cornbread, greens and hog jowls to go with those peas. You eat this to on New Year’s to get good luck for the year.
Each leaf of greens (turnip, mustard, collards or cabbage) you eat will grant you a green dollar each according to folk lore.

Hoppin John is our good luck New Years dinner. Hasn’t worked too well lately.

I’d eat sauerkraut anytime if others would.
I love it on hot dogs, and it is far too neglected as a frankfurter condiment.
And our family sausage recipe with it. And I’ll just eat it by itself.

In Campo, Colorado, New Years Day was always Black Eyed Peas.

Pizza is so overplayed.
It’s everywhere, so is not really of great value. You can’t avoid it.
I like pizza, but I get sick of it more than once a week (virtually necessary with picky hubby).

Yep...We also do the greens and cornbread, but we do ham instead of hog jowls...
