Daddy always had pork and sauerkraut on New Years. It meant good luck for the coming year.

I have never heard of this tradition till I read about it here. My Mother was a no nonsense practical woman. She never would do something for luck. However, husband and I love pork and sauerkraut (well, I like the sauerkraut). We will have it, just not today or tomorrow as I would have to go to the store and it's to cold for that.

Pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes here.  Can't remember that last time I had black eyed peas, but love greens.  My grandmother use to make greens, and johnny cake.

 

Happy New Year!

My mom used to make these and eat them. The rest of us hated this stuff and never ate it.
