Like JAG, in the southeast it has been black eyed peas and collard greens, ones for luck and the other wealth or prosperity.

Breakfast: Smoked Venison sausage, Biscuits and gravy, cheese grits, eggs

Dinner:  Pork roast, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, pork gravy, black-eye peas, collard greens

Born in Pennsylvania, raised in the South; German, Dutch, Wales, Apache, Blackfoot ancestry.

Try and cover all bases for luck, wealth, and health. Although as of late I've considered changing the New Years day menu, Because things just aren't working out the way tradition says it should. I'm open for new suggestions.......

 

I try to cover all the bases and have both cabbage and black eyed peas. I only hope that it warms up enough that the bunnies will come out so I can have some wild meat to eat with them.
God bless and Happy 2010 everyone!

Pork and sauerkraut is awesome.

I'm having a bowl of oatmeal... is THAT lucky?!?!?  :rolleyes:

Being a PA native, it had to be pork roast with sourkraut, deer kilbasi and mashed potatoes at my house, just like George...

Aw come on guys your to much

Fergie Rocks!!  We  ALWAYS  had "Corned Beef and Cabbage"!!            
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!    

Watched the Black Eyed Peas right after the ball drop and seeing Dick Clark mess up the countdown. Poor guy is getting up there in age, looks like he might have had a stroke.
Anyway no peas for me, just Captn' and Coke.  

Black eyed peas today,they are cooking right now!

Black-eyed peas are DONE! Just waiting for the grand kids to come over and help me enjoy (food and grand kids!)

Bacon wrapped venison loin roasted medium rare, sweet potato souffle, english peas and yeast rolls.

Black-eyed peas for luck for me too. If the ones I had last new years brought me good luck, I sure am glad I didn't have any bad luck. Kind of reminds me of a friend that did something to change his luck, he said that he didn't know what bad luck was till after he changed his luck.

Hey Reaper,
I grew up near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. You bring it back to me with the hog jowl. We always had that with blackeyed peas, cole slaw and corn bread.
I always felt lucky when it was over and done with.

We had a great meal of pan fried venison backstrap, black-eyed peas over rice with some chow-chow on top, collard greens, and cornbread.

Man please, if I get anymore prosperous from eating blackeyed peas today, a trip to the store for more non-skid will be in order.

Black eyed peas, corned beef, and cabbage for dinner here....mmmmmm

Right on target w/ the black eye peas. Heard that all my life, in NC.
I had mine today. Blackeyed peas and ham hock soup!

Stop N'Shop in Kill Devil Hills, had it on today's menu. OBXShooter knows where it is.    

Happy New Year.
