Kraut and Pork its an Ohio meal for good luck huh Paul!!

Always black-eyed peas and greens. They're cooking now!

Pork roast and Sauerkraut with some potatoes thrown in. I add some brown sugar to sweeten the tartness a bit.

Pork with sauerkraut and potatoes.

Usually do pork and sauerkraut but we're on the road today. Going to have to settle for Sheetz 2 for $1 hot dogs to keep the tradition.

What ever I feel like eating.

Hog jowl & white beans, cabbage, black eyed peas, turnip greens, cornbread.

Smoking some baby backs ribs for Dad.

No traditional meal ..up here

Somebody in the family will make pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day every year. It's been going on a long time.

It is German tradition brought to Pennsylvania by my people, the Pennsylvania Dutch, when they migrated here three hundred years ago.

Pork because "the pig roots forward" and sauerkraut because cabbage represents money. Fatty pork represents prosperity.

Eating poultry on New Year's Day is frowned upon by the Dutch because chickens and turkeys scratch for food backwards and also because all your luck and happiness can fly away with their feathers.

My middle daughter is having the extended family over to her house today.

I don't recall any specific New Years food tradition here. But peanut butter and jelly is always a good option!

I am German, and never heard of this. You can learn something new every day.
I bet there is many politicians eating poultry today.

starting the day off with shrimp & grits and bacon

Pork and kraut with some hotdogs thrown into the roaster with it. mashed taters.

Gotta have mashed taters with pork and kraut hippie, wouldn't be the same without them.

I think it's going to be a gassy bunch around here tomorrow with the cabbage and kraut along with fatty pork.
I like West river rogue, Trapper7 and animals only food choices better.

I'll probably have tuna helper, and finish off a couple venison hot dogs.

No specific meal but Black Eyed Peas always

Pinto beans with jowl bacon . Just put them on the stove.

My wife's the cook for today. Colombian traditional New Year's day meal is Sancocho. A hearty stew made with chunks of corn on the cob, chicken, celery, onion, plantain, potatoes, and Yuca. A side dish of avocado, Serrano chile, lime juice and cilantro to spoon into the soup when served. Traditionally cooked over an open fire in a 20 gallon pot.

Really good for hangovers.
