What's your traditional New Years day meal?

We have sauerkraut and pork. I can smell the kraut cooking right now. It makes my mouth water.

Same here Paul

Don't really have a traditional New Years Day meal, but vegetable beef soup is on the stove now.

I put a Boston butt on the smoker this morning along with sauerkraut and black eyed peas.

Just gone done putting up 3 muskrats. Frying up the back legs and having fried potatoes and onions with them
Don't have a tradition though
What is best served with muskrat? White wine or red?

Chardonnay

Leftovers from yesterday. Swedish meatballs, mushroom pie and carrots.

Red wine with red meat, usually.

We didn't used to have one.
several years ago my wife adopted the tradition of black eyed peas on new years.

Pork and sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, on my way to my daughter's house to have some now.

Pork because pigs root forward and we want to look forward to the new year. Sauerkraut is cabbage which represents money.

Holy crap, I was looking at the pic of my soup and realized I forgot taters! Whew, they are in there now!

Turkey breast In crock pot. Put it on at 5am this morning with tornado sirens blasting !!

We are having the same as you Paul.

We usually roast a couple nice, plucked Canvasbacks, but I did not get any this year. Instead, Wonderful Wife has a big venison roast in the pot. When it's ready it will be turned into a big pot of venison stew. That, homemade hard rolls, and a deep red, dry Pinot Noir will be out New Year's Day dinner.

Moosetrot

Oyster Stew

I don't know if it's traditional, but that's what cooking at our house too.

No tradition , just what I have on hand at the time.

Sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Family tradition for generations.

When I was a kid we were so poor that dad used to take us to KFC and we would lick other peoples' fingers.

I think today I will have a root beer float.

Black eyed peas, fried hog jowls, cabbage and cornbread. Looking at what everyone else is eating it’s no wonder we haven’t had any good luck or prosperity in the last few years!

Pork roast smothered with Kraut and chunked potatoes. Topped with a little brown sugar to take out the kraut bite.

Have not had a bite to eat since around 3 pm yesterday. The joys of being sick.

just

I've never done a traditional new year's meal. Today I had chicken strips left over from last night, and fettuccini noodles. Pete had a pork chop instead of chicken. And applesauce.

Black eyed peas and cabbage. Everybody knows that.

Tamales that my Mexican neighbors brought over for me last night. My cook is out of the country right now.

Beer battered Cook Inlet halibut chunks and scalloped potatoes.

On New Years Day, my youngest brother, sister, brother in law, niece, nephew and friends, some of who have been friends for over 30 years get together and eat at least one animal that most of us have not eaten before. We have eaten iguana, python, rattlesnake, camel, alpaca, beaver, muskrat, smelt, guineafowl, chukar, pheasant, goat, venison, kangaroo, bison and more. We eat a lot of other good food too.

This year we ate parrotfish, which was fairly lame. We also had chicken wings, bacon wrapped and nut crusted dates, a few types is prosciutto, salami, shrimp and vegetarian egg rolls, mixed vegetables, nuts, humus, fancy crackers, chocolate candies, cookies a lemon ricotta cake, lots of types of bourbon and whiskey and more.

What kind of foreign country do you guys all live in eating the same meal!?!?

Yotetrapper’s food is the only one I can picture lol.

When I had a home, not just a house, and there were, we had fresh pork roast, sauerkraut, fried potatoes. Side dishes of cream corn, green beans and candied yams. Dessert was most always apple and peach pie.

Now it will be a TV diner or Dinty Moore beef stew.

Not Canada

your black eyed peas tend to be a southern thing they are not actually a pea at all but a bean in the cow pea family.

often thought of as poor people food or animal feed ,in post civil war USA they were some of the only food left after Sherman burned the south.

as we Americans often have , a tradition of eating an otherwise homely food came about think about the Irish American meal corn beef and cabbage was actually what was served on the ships to the US.

from the nutrition and ease of making Black eyed peas are high in carbs and fiber and with the addition of greens that were common a well rounded meal.
you can soak them over night or cook them a little longer so if you partied to hard on new years eve and forgot to soak your beans.
greens are important for nutrition this time of year.


sauerkraut and ham hocks are a German tradition a lot of us in the US myself included have German heritage the 1840-1880 German Migration to the US
I grew up not far from Milwaukee the most German city in the US.

Collard Greens, Hopp'n John, Cornbread. That's the ancient true Southern Good Luck New Years day meal for wealth in the new year. Green for cash, Hopp'n John coins, Cornbread gold. Won't start a year without it and have been doing it for 70+ years.

Then some kind of pork. Ham, cured ham, pulled pork BBQ. And the Collards and Hopp'n John has ham hocks used in cooking them.

We have never had a meal on new years like Christmas or Thanksgiving
