New Years Day Food Traditions
- Mashed potatoes, pork, blackeyed peas, cabbage and corn bread for health, wealth and happiness in the new year. Never heard of eating rice at all.

Hoppin'Johns
- Kattlynn, I was raised in the south by southern parents (NC, SC and AL) and black eyed peas and rice were a staple. It's called hoppin'johns when cooked together with spices - check any southern recipe book. All I can say is you have missed out on some wonderful southern cooking if you weren't raised on black eyed peas and rice!!:) Happy New Year !

New Year's Day
- It is a custom here in the Philippines to celebrate it together with your family. At New Year's Eve, our family had banana cake (which I baked), baked potato, wine, bake lasagna, sweet ham, fruit salad.

Grandma's German New Years
- My Grandma insisted on a traditional German-style New Years' Dinner consisting of sauerkraut and roasted pork loin or goose. There was a little ditty she would tell about what each item was for: she said the pig and the goose both "snoot forward into the future." You must serve something that grows above the ground, something that grows below the ground and I can't remember the rest of it, and wonder if anyone else ever heard this? I don't remember what else she served aside from mashed or boiled potatoes. For my own traditional New Years, I prefer Southern-style: Honey-baked ham, collards, turnip or mustard greens with bacon bits and onions, black-eyed peas, corn bread, and sweet potato pie. YUMMMMMM! It doesn't get any better than this! Cheers.

Old Year's Day and New Year's
- It is traditional for Trinidadians to prepare the Black Eyed Peas and Rice with salt meat cook up on Old Year's night to consume before midnight. It is said that the preparation of peas in a home brings wealth and comfort for the family. The warm-up of the cook up on New Year's morning is even better tasting than the freshly cooked pot.

rice
- I have lived in Tn all my life and I have never heard of anyone eating Rice on New years or with Blackeye peas. I do eat Cabbage in place of greens cause I don't like greens. Peas are for good luck, Ham is health, greens is for money, or so I have been told.
