@Drythe My mother always made collard greens and black eyed peas for New Year's day.

Pork spar ribs, collard greens for money and black eyed peas for luck in the new year.

We're having company (adults and children) New Years Eve so we'll be enjoying leftovers New Years Day: spiral ham, Kings Hawaiian butter rolls, macaroni and cheese, scalloped potatoes, green beans with bacon, mini quiches from Sam's Club and a fresh fruit salad - also various cheeses, crackers, olives and a blt dip with melba toasts. Dessert will be peppermint icecream with homemade hot fudge sauce.

Boy will I need a diet plan for January 2nd!

Are you from the south? The only thing I've had from the above list is corn bread and iced tea. I've never tried black eyed peas or collard greens. And is "hog jowl" literally hog jowl? I've never even heard of that! I'd be willing to try all of these foods. Your menu sounds good.

We always have pork chops and sauerkraut. It's supposed to bring good luck for the new year. It doesn't. hahahaha

@Citrine1 Nope! Not kidding, here's the definition of hog jowl (or "hog jaw" as it is affectionately known among the believers) below. It can be salted (you need to soak some of the salt off) or smoked, and it is usually fried like you would fry bacon. It was all the rage in restaurants in some places a few years ago under its Italian name (sounds so different doesn't it?).

Yes. I am from the South and Southwest!

Pork jowl (called jowl bacon or, especially in the Southern US hog jowl) is cured and often smoked cheeks of pork. Hog jowl is also used outside the United States; the non-smoked Italian variant is called guanciale. It doesn't taste as much like bacon as you'd think. It isn't as strong I guess. At least what I have had--lots over the years!

Haven't you heard "guanciale" a lot on Food Tv and thought "YUM!"
