New Year's Day Dining Superstitions!

Sign in to disble this ad
OK, so what are you eating? I've been preparing all day for tomorrow.

Some greens and blackeyed peas you must have for health and wealth, and yellow cornbread for goldenness in all things, but you can't eat chicken on New Year's Day because a chicken scratches in the dirt for its living and you don't want to be scratching in the dirt all year like the chicken does.

What you must have is some pigmeat, because a pig has a fat neck and can't look back. A pig is a forward-looking animal, not mired in regret and remorse for its misspent pig life. The pig moves on -- and so should we all, even if we eventually wind up as sausage in the end.

Woah, never heard of this. I had leftovers from last nights roast beef (rump roast) dinner. Cows, can definitely look backwards or forwards. The Irish soda bread was fairly yellow.

Should I just give up now on 2010?

For New Years Eve, generally an assortment of appetizers, or 'snicky-snacks', as the wife calls them.
On New Years Day, I usually have Oyster Stew. Milk, cream, butter, oysters, black pepper. Yum.
As far as I know, the oyster can look neither backwards nor forwards.

Around here, the traditional New Year's food (which started with the Hunky immigrants years ago) is to eat hot dogs, kielbasa (or called kolbassi here) with sauerkraut for good luck in the new year. However, this region has always been depressed economically, job wise, and many other negative things so I sure have never seen any of the good luck around here or personal good luck for any people who eat the food. Just an old superstition I guess.

A big bowl of homemade guacamole with chips to enjoy while watching bowl games.

Don't pigs spend their lives wallowing in filth? Sounds worse than the chicken. Regardless, I'm glad to hear the good vibes about pig meat, the supermarket had baby back ribs on sale at the year's lowest prices so we're having a gorgefest tonight!
