New Years Food

[CJP56]

This may be an old topic but there are a lot of new posters on here, so, my question is: What favorite or traditional foods will you eat on New Year's Day? In my family pork and cabbage was served; specifically: stuffed cabbage rolls served with mashed potatoes. I don't think my Mother ever got to see the Rose Parade. Cabbage rolls take a lot of time to make, but they are worth it!!!!! CJP56

This year I am going to be lazy and fix myself some sausage gravy and biscuits and stewed cabbage. CJP56

Dad used to serve herring.

Here at La Casa MMD we have yet to establish any tradition.

Black Eyed Peas cooked with ham hocks, Cornbread, and lots and lots of Collard Greens! With a big jug of Iced Tea to wash it all down with!

Marylanders typically have shrimp, but I don't like it so I don't. :lol
We typically toast at midnight with some sort of sparkling beverage and my mom makes a few snacks and desserts for the time leading up to it.

Nothing traditional so I don't know yet .

Pork and sauer kraut, with mashed potatoes, and probably dried corn. :hungry:

I was in a grocery store recently and overheard a woman say that it was bad luck for Germans to not eat pork and cabbage for New Years. :roll I guess this is how traditions get started. I'm thankful for the tradition (because I love stuffed cabbage rolls and I'm not even German) and thankful I'm not bound by the superstition. :thumb

We're having meatloaf. :Green No new year's traditions here, but when I was a kid we always had lasagna.

I had no idea that you lived in heaven!!! Only heaven has a menu like that!!!!!!
Where do you live in heaven and what time do I need to be there? :cool

Oh, should I or do I have to bring the wife and kids? I don't think that they have yet reached the age of understanding when it comes to heavenly food. :saint

YOWZA!!!!!!!!! I know all about superstitions. Both sides of my ancestral families were deeeeeep into the occult and witcraft. Sauer kraut was essential for New year's day and so was a bean casserole that had to have big and little beans in it. The big beans got you big money and the little beans got you little money. This particular superstition was so strong in our family that we pulled out the stops to make sure all of the ingredients were on hand to make a huge roaster-full of it. I never did get into the superstition much but I sure-nuff did enjoy Mom's homemade baked bean casserole. :drool:

Pork roast and sauerkraut. A classic hunky New Year's dinner.
