We had our traditional sauerkraut and pork for dinner. I really don't believe in it but can't take the chance. Who knows, there might be another old Ford in my future.

Happy New Year!

Bud, we're having Hoppin' John tonight, a traditional southern New Years Day dish with Black eyed Peas, etc.. Yum... Happy New Year.

Clete · 01-01-2014, 05:13 PM

Yes We did. Is this only a tradition in certain areas? I never heard of this till I moved to PA. I grew up in the Midwest and don't remember ever having Pork and SauerKraut on New Years Day. Of course as a young man I usually had a headache on Jan 1.

Shadetree · 01-01-2014, 05:15 PM

Vic,
Cabbage is for wealth, black eyed peas are for luck.

May you have the best of both my friend!

Happy New Year!

Bud

Black eyed peas and collard greens is the tradition in the southern part of the US. Just had my fill of them a couple of hours ago.

It's black-eyed peas, cabbage, and sweet potatoes for us. we're having our meal tonight with the daughter's family who lives near us.

Vic Piano · 01-01-2014, 05:25 PM

Thanks Bud, the same for you and your family.

Hey Lawson, collard greens must be a tradition south of Atlanta... LOL Happy New Year!

Clete,
Welcome aboard! I see this was your first post.

I have no idea where the tradition came from. Growing up we always had cabbage in some manner on New Years Day. When I married a girl from East Liverpool Ohio, (next door to PA) her family had saurkraut and pork for New Years Day, which I prefer over cabbage. I don't really believe in it but why take a chance?

Again, welcome aboard. Please introduce yourself to the guys.

So far I just see northern transplants who wantabe genuine Southerner. How about black-eyed peas and hog jowl? Now that is for New Years day and good luck all year.

I'm from Atlanta, Ga. originally but I've never acquired a taste for collard greens or hog jowls... Now, pork rinds and Dr. Pepper... that's livin' LARGE...

Seems to me that a lot of the "traditional New Year's" side dishes are designed to create flatulence. What is the history of that?! Fart out the old year or fart out the new. I'm confused.

I'm down here in Texas where we should have a mix of traditions from the east and Pa. and about all I know of is ham and black eyed peas. Historians please illuminate.

38 Ford Pickup · 01-01-2014, 05:55 PM

Just finished watching the Winter Classic between the Leafs and Wings (NHL).

now its time for New Years Dinner

and as always its
Lasagna and for dessert,

Apple Pie

Happy New Year to all............. and di I ever mention

Just don't light a match around those that have too much `flatulence' or you will have `illumination'.

Happy New Year!

Not yet but my brother just got done canning a bunch. Home canned is the best in my opinion. Being about ten miles from Franksville, WI., the capital of Kraut production, we kind of grew up on the stuff. With Kielbasa, it can't be beat!

skeazle · 01-01-2014, 06:08 PM

Hi Clete, I am from Hershey,Pa. and we have always had Pork and Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. I don't know if it's a Pa. Dutch thing or not. Happy New Year to everyone! Jim

cushman man · 01-01-2014, 06:11 PM

Black eye peas, greens, corn bread, country ham, mashed potatoes, little onion, cold slaw, and home made coconut cake, glass of SWEET tea. You have to love the south.
