I'm amazed! I've read this whole thread and no one mentioned the stewed tomatoes! To consume BEP on New Years without stewed tomatoes is, at least, poor manners and may be a minor crime. That's the line I've gotten from my Dads side of the family for my 49 New Years celebrations, and they know everything...(well...).

As for the method of cooking; Dried peas, soaked overnight in slightly salted water. Slow cook with pork sausage or country ham. A touch of garlic and season to taste. Serve a half cereal bowl and top off with the tomatoes. Mix and eat. Have good luck for the whole year!

Be well...

That reminds me of a trick my father taught me during the "WAR".When we would run out of milk he would take a quart of MOMS canned tomatoes and pour them over his Shredded Wheat and add sugar for breakfast. I can eat a quart of my wifes tomatoes with sugar for lunch.
