I will cook a large pork roast in my dutch oven at 325 for several hours.

On top of the pork I have put one package of refrigerated sauerkraut, one peeled cut up apple, cut up medium onion and a half can of beer. On top I will place about a tablespoon of brown sugar. I will bake it low and slow for several hours until it is falling apart tender and serve it with mashed potatoes.

Mike Mason? What do they call the the sauerkraut/pork broth in Deutchland? I sort of remember the German word for it is something like brill..but I think that is a fish..

If I don't do this pork and sauerkraut cooking and eating then all of my German ancestors will see to it that I do not have a Happy New Year.

What is your traditional food today, on this first day of 2012????

Happy New Year everyone and twenty two hugs to each.

Got my sauerkraut and pork on already this AM. I cook mine all day. I make dumplings on top just before serving, hot dogs added as well close to serving.

Used to be hog jowel, black eyed peas and mashed potatoes. Don't know where to find any hog jowel here though.

Ham, potato salad, deviled eggs, Sister Schubert rolls, fresh green beans and several wines.

Wife said it sounds like a Szegediner Gulash, which has many of the same ingredients and served the same; over mashed potatoes.

Happy New Year!

It's funny that a lot of you mention pork. I was in the grocery store yesterday and this man had about 8 large pork roasts in his cart. I said "someone must really like pork". I did not know that pork was tradition. Your meals sound wonderful. I'm taking the easy way out....already made Maryland style crab cakes, baked potatoes, peas and salad. Next year, when I'm a Village resident I will have to make pork roast in the slow cooker! You all are inspiring with your cooking! Have a happy New Year and save room for dessert! What is for dessert??

Don't forget the peas. For every pea you eat you will have a good day.

We must all stop and take a pea.

Our dessert is chilling in the fridge. Homemade butterscotch pie with fresh whipped cream.

I just hijacked my own thread.

What do you eat on New Years for good luck?
