Black eyed peas and collards are a staple here in the south. We eat them more because it is a tradition than because we think it will bring us luck, however, black eyed peas and collards are a pretty frugal... and healthy meal. Meals like that a couple times a week mean that I don't have to feel guilty about the inch thick rib eyes on Friday night. :) Jeremy, we actually do eat this stuff pretty regularly.

It is amazing that people still follow these traditions of eating certain foods based on a belief that they bring good luck or prosperity. If these bring such good luck, why wouldn't people eat that stuff more regularly? These are all very interesting traditions.

I really do like beans and rice and beans and rice made with bacon and onions, yum! This year I made a vegitarian Indian lentil and rice dish. Serving lentils on New Years Day is a tradition in many culture. I do make my annual trek to IKEA on New Years day. This year I purchased a much needed new bookcase and had my traditional Swedish Meatball Lunch. It was then back to the house to put together the bookcase and catch some football on TV. I pretty much have done this routine for oh about 20 years now. After living in “the South” for about 13 years, I did faithfully make Hopping John (black eyed peas and rice) each New Years day.
