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

For our family it's always been ham and beans with sweet cornbread.

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...)

@Ambroseguy80 Pork seems to be a theme...so does either sauerkraut or cabbage.

@Ksmile14 oh yes. Cabbage was often seen as well. I know the sauerkraut was a German tradition. Not sure about the cabbage
