In southern Illinois ham & beans with fried corn bread. For desert, apricot fried pie. Boy howdy!

I'm going to be eating a lot of wierd food tomorrow, unless someone can provide bona fide scientific evidence that one of these foods will actually give me good luck.

Pittsburgh thing. Sandwich ham chipped rather than sliced in individual pieces

Hog jowl and black eyed peas; a Southern tradition for good luck.

Default Pork Pie

My mother-in-law always served Pork Pie on New Years Day. It was ground pork with creamed corn topped with mashed potatoes in a pie crust. It is very good tasting.

For those who have wondered: Pork is considered 'good luck' because a pig roots in the ground and moves forward. Chicken is NOT recommended because they scratch the earth and move backwards, also (although I haven't seen many do this), chickens and foul fly and you don't want your 'good luck' to fly away.

Just a bit of 'useless' information that clutters my mind......

Happy New Year, everyone!


BTW, we had New Year's Day dinner prepared by my sister-in-law, born and bred in the South. Pork tenderloin with a blueberry salsa, collard greens, mashed rutabagas, black eyed peas (topped with raw onion and a spoonful of chow-chow relish ~ delish!) and a cast iron skillet of cornbread. PHEW! What a feast!
