No family, no meal

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

Yep... It's called leftovers!
😜

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 🙂🐼🥢

Black eyed peas ang hog jowls

I usually make Korean food for New Years.

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

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.

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

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...)

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.

Pasties.

No we were never that close.

Pork, sauerkraut, kolbassi, mashed potatoes and dumplings.

No,just what ever we fancy at the time

Yes mostly a family BBQ

It was prime rib

Yes

No......

No

Black eyed peas

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

Crated long pork.

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!
