OT what is traditional meal OT

[Plymouthy Adams]

I grew up in an area where Corned Beef and Cabbage was considered the New Years meal...now that I have been in the south since 1966 the New Years meal is Hoppin John as the main entree (black eyed peas and rice)...however I break tradition and cook what I think is right..this year it is my rendition of garlic shrimp with a bit of bacon fried rice

whoe eats what in what neck of the woods..?

Pork & sauerkraut & dumplings in N.E. Pennsylvania:D yum, yum

My Norwegian family traditionally has oyster stew on NYE. They came from Telamark around 1890. Dunno what any other Norwegian descendents from the area eat on NYE, but that's what we do.

My Latino friends have a little ritual meal that they have close to midnight involving grapes and a few other things.

Where I grew up the traditional New Year's Meal was liquor.

I agree, my family is from Bloomsburg PA so we always have pork and sauerkraut with dumplings.

[james curl]

Ham, Yams and Texas Caviar (black eye peas cooked with onions and diced jalapenos).

[Olddaddy]

As true Southerners we have pork roast with black eyed peas and cornbread. I married my wife for her cornbread actually.

[Plymouthy Adams]

Charlie I have a surefired 110 year old cornbread recipe that would have cost you a lot less in the long run...

Me too, and lots of it. Food? None to be seen:D

[mikesinky]

soup beans (or as some call them brown or pinto beans) cooked cabbage with silver money placed in it so you will find wealth for the new year fried taters and cornbread.... but we didnt have any power for christmas and missed out on the turkey and dressing so were doing that today maybe eat soup beans tomorrow.....

[1947PLEVY]

Blackeyed peas,cornbread, some diced onions and rolaids..

***HAPPY NEW YEAR*** John

A second here on oyster stew for my gramps in Ioway..would rather scrape the tail gate on the honey wagon than eat that stuff:eek::eek:Last night it was wild turkey and pheasant....one of the birds was liquid.

Tha Captain has hit the mark. It probably depends more on ethnicity than anything else. My Dad was Danish/Swedish/Irish. So Potatakor and lutefish and a lot of booze was always New Years Eve.
