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.

mom and dad always had that for new years in Ohio. played euchre till midnight with friends...

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.

Smoking some ribs, cole slaw, sauerkraut, and French fries. One heck of a conglomeration!

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.

Hogmaw, pig stomach stuffed with sausage, cabbage and potatoes. It's out of this world good

We are eating iguanas tomorrow for the first time. We eat some different animals every New Years Day.

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.

Pork roast in sauerkraut served over mashed potatoes. Never want for money rest of year. Pa. Dutch tradition.(something close to that!)

Sauerkraut and pork here too, but the wife always adds hotdogs to the mix

Prime rib - medium - mashed potatoes, honey glazed carrots, Brussels sprouts...and cheesecake for dessert....ice cold Beer .

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.

Just feeling good snuggled in warm with high snow levels and a bright moon lighting up the landscape.

Venison and a salad -all good

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.

I'm making the ham I should have made for Christmas.
