Does your family have a traditional meal on New Years Day to ring good luck?

Not on New Years day, but New Years Eve is apps all night. 🙂

Yep... It's called leftovers!
😜

Black eyed peas ang hog jowls

Not for a main meal, but lentils are customarily involved.

My Mum has traditionally made a selection of Dim Sum for New Year - but will have to wait to February 12 th for that 🙂🐼🥢

Was raised on black eyed peas and hog jowl. Incorporated sauerkraut to accommodate the Pennsylvania side of the family.

I usually make Korean food for New Years.

pork, black eyed peas, cabbage, corn bread

"Good luck" is a sign of pagan ritual that I have become more aware of although I recognize it is often offered as a casual albeit empty gesture to be conversational and conventional. Personally, I avoid engaging in it.

In any case, we usually just have a meal together without any stipulation on what the food will necessarily be.

The family I came from did. It was pork and sauerkraut, usually, or if not pork, something else that went well with sauerkraut (knockwurst, kielbasa, etc...)

That sounds fantastic! Love cornbread and smokey beans.

Ours usually just another turkey, but it will be roast beef and parsnip with a pudding tomorrow.

We always have a fondue!

I think because it's infinitely expandable if there's more guests randomly, and takes a while so you don't get the 'waiting around til midnight' vibe

Pasties.

No but they are quite stubborn about the superstition that no poultry or fish can be eaten that day because that would take good luck away.

We don't. There doesn't seem to be much of a tradition for that around here, but I like the idea of it.

Pork, sauerkraut, kolbassi, mashed potatoes and dumplings.

No we were never that close.

Crated long pork.

No,just what ever we fancy at the time

No family, no meal

Yes mostly a family BBQ

It was prime rib

Black eyed peas

Yes

No......

No

Nope. I didn't even know that was a thing.

No we do not believe in good luck. However we usually, purely by desire and not by tradition, eat a nice steak.

“Hoppin’ John” (blackeyed peas with rice), white cornbread.

Coffee in the morning 😐

Yah, shrimp!
