Yep, a german tradition. Have 20 lbs of sauerkraut fermenting since Oct. Have our Port roast ready to go. Will do in cast iron. Cant wait.

Our traditional New Years Day meal has always been black eyed peas and cabbage for the same reason, supposed to be good luck. As far as I can remember I have never missed a meal of black eyed peas and cabbage on New Years. I'm still kicking so I am sticking with it.

I am not sure I have ever had sauerkraut. If I have I don't remember it. I would like to try it but may have to travel to find any that is good.

Pork, black eyed peas, and collard greens. I am from the South.

Throw some apples in and sounds like a great meal!

pork loin and saurkraut,garlic and butter roasted taters,fresh turnip

It's so easy to make yourself there's no good reason why you can't have it.


However....it can be an acquired taste...but once acquired...you'll be in love.

Shane if you ever had a Reuben sammich you've had sauerkraut.

Hog jowl, black-eyed peas, cabbage and cornbread....

Each one supposed to mean something unique for the coming year

That's our meal. We always put fatback in the cabbage and eat ham. Mamaw won't go for hog jowl.

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.

Sauerkraut and pork has been for New Years supper ever since I could remember. Comfort food at its finest!

Same here boss, old tradition in my family for at least 3 generations. Add home made kolbossi.

Dominos pizza

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.

That is what I figured. There is a locally owned sandwich shop where I work that I may try. They have killer sandwiches with good ingredients. Will try there first. I hope they have it. I am looking forward to it.

What was wrong with the prime rib?

I don't know, bad cut I guess? I cooked it to 130 and it was plenty rare, but still tough.

I made our traditional pork loin, sauerkraut, home canned potatoes roasted in an old cast iron dutch oven pot yesterday evening and had our first meal last nite. Good eating for sure. Going to finish it off tonight.

thats an ohio new years day meal. do y`all bake it in the oven together?? and have mash taters with?? oh and yeast rolls!! lol! happy new years boss man!

Yes, Rhonda puts the pork in a roaster, covers it with sauerkraut and bakes it. She also adds a bit of brown sugar to the sauerkraut to cut the sharpness. I like the sauerkraut on mashed potatoes.

We cook our new year's sauerkraut with a couple links of sausage.

house is smellin good already

That is one of my favorite dishes. Not a NY thing but have it a few times a year.

Had pork & kraut (with mashed potatoes & gravy) for dinner last night.
Leftover kraut goes in reuben sandwiches today (with home made russian dressing - plenty of horseradish & hot sauce).

pigs in a blanket.

Huge pot of been soup and Subway Subs.

We had Pork and Krout as always on New Years Day.

Always...
Pork & Sauerkraut, Mashed Potatoes, Sweet Corn (we put up) and Apple Sauce (homemade by wife)

Today, the same...lol

I never have had Russian dressing either. Sigh...

I didn't have time to go to the sandwich shop today to see if they make a Reuben. Hopefully tomorrow.

Made 800 lbs of kraut this year. Always have kraut, pork, or kielbasa on New Years day. Or throughout the rest of the year.

We love ribs & kraut with yellow gold mashed potatoes. We make our own sauerkraut with Stone Head cabbage. It's much better than the kraut you buy in stores.

Almost forgot, we had Lasagna and Pinot Noir New Year's day. Wife makes a mean Lasagna.

I wouldn't believe it's new years day if there wasn't pork and kraut on the table.

this right here is what we've always had.

these days it comes in the form of sausage balls and sauerkraut for the wife.

I usually have blackeyes with a country ham hock, and some other greens with another ham hock.

and cornbread

for me, thats just a starter - and I add bacon, and pork loin, more country ham, usually mixed greens, fried cabbage, and enough blackeye peas to keep me tootin for a week.

It's night and say difference isn't it?

I bet kraft would be good with lasagna

I don't know about everyone who made kraut and pork but my house still smells like the stuff. I might need to add some of that stuff to some of my lures and baits to help them to linger better in the air.
