Same as you Boss Man. Sauerkraut and pork. Been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. I just turned 60 and can't remember NOT having it on New Year's Day.

This is our traditional new years meal. Something to do with good luck for the upcoming year.
What are y'all having? Coming from a long line of Pennsylvania Dutchman, my family and I always have pork (because pigs root forward and we all want to keep moving forward through the new year) and sauerkraut (because the shreds of cabbage represent money we hope to earn and the swelling of the sauerkraut represents bounty we hope to reap). Plus it's good eats.
Eh...wot?

Collards with smoked neckbones, turnip greens with jowl bacon and turnip roots, black eyed peas with jowl bacon and the Christmas hambone and rice, baked sweet taters, broiled country style ribs, the last of the Christmas ham and turkey, real crackling cornbread. Good God man! I am jealous.

It will be black eyed peas and smoked ham here. I may just go tomorrow and get a small prime rib and shrimp. One way or another, the grill will be smoking. It will be -8 here tonight, so grilling weather is here. Happy New Year to all, and be safe!!!

I’m with Lugnut. Being PA Dutch we always had some kinda of pork roast and sauerkraut. This year changed it up and made some Bockwurst, Bratwurst, Kilebasa and old fashioned German wieners in sauerkraut with a side of Pierogies in onions and butter. Hopefully it brings us good luck and good health.

black eyed peas come from when sherman marched through and destroyed all the farmland, he left the peas since they were meant for animal consumption and not fit for people to eat. So the confederate soldiers ate the peas during the winter to survive. So they mean good luck. Some sort of greens to represent money since its green and flat like paper money, cornbread to represent gold or wealth. Pork to represent moving forward in the next year (as the hog roots forward).
I hope a bunch of yankees choke while they are eating peas tomorrow for luck, lol.

Warrior you got a spare plate? I am having Black Eyed peas, smoked backbone, stuffed jalapeno with bacon, and jalapeno cornbread. Then I am going to watch the SEC wooop butt. I'll set a plate. Always cook up a big mess of food for New Years.

Shane if you ever had a Reuben sammich you've had sauerkraut. I don't think I have had a Reuben. Don't they sell them at Arby's? May try one when I go back to work Tuesday. Trying to get a good Reuben at Arby's is about like trying to get a good cheeseburger at Mickey D's. Real homemade sauerkraut is hard to beat and goes well with about anything. No such thing as a good hot dog without kraut.
