Pork and sauerkraut is a northeast tradition.

After the pork and sauerkraut dinner as a pre-teen, I went next door to hang out and watch football and the italian mother, insisted that i have a couple of strands of sauerkraut for "good luck".

Pennsylvania Dutch are really Krauts.

I do because ... I love sauerkraut and pork. Or sauerkraut and sausage. Or ...

Pork and sauerkraut is good cooked with lots of garlic and served with mashed potatoes.

At house, we often had Polish Kielbasa with sauerkraut and mustard on a hot dog bun. Side order of french fries. The drinks?
Either Vernor’s Ginger Ale or Canada Dry were preferred.

In the South, it’s Black-eyed peas...

My German born wife claims that Germans don’t need an excuse to eat pork and sauerkraut. BTW, she mixes her sauerkraut with mashed potatos and pork gravy.

Oliebollen with fresh coffee! (Thanks to my 1/2 Dutch wife)

“We?” Not me. There are many such customs; black-eyed peas and rice, bangers and mash, mincemeat pie and rice and others. For me a nice roasted turkey or chicken—but pork sausage? Never touch the stuff, but love sauerkraut.

Don’t think I have ever partaken in such a tradition.

If you are from Iowa/Illinois line. Happy Joe Special...kraut and ham pizza. If you know, you know. The best!

[Georgia Girl 2]

I the South we eat collards, blacked eyed peas and rice. I usually throw in a corned beef.

Black-eye peas with smoked ham hocks and corn bread. New Year’s Day tradition for me going on +65 years

My mother’s family was Savannah crackers.

New Year’s dinner is ham, greens, and Hoppin Johns

[Carriage Hill]

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

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.

[DouglasKC]

Never heard of it.

[the OlLine Rebel]

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!

[the OlLine Rebel]

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.

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