Anybody Cooking A Traditional New Year's Day Meal?

We had sour kraut..

Made pork roast, hoppin John w/rice, mustard greens & yellow cornbread muffins

My sister made Chicken Noodle soup..

Somebody whoop me up a plate of bottlecaps and a tall glass of Angry Orchard with a double-shot of Old Grand Dad I can bomb in there. That's the ticket!

Bottlecaps the candy?

Nuh uh. Bottlecaps the bar food. Jalapeno peppers, breaded and fried.

Never heard of it called that but I'll give it a shot.

Sounds good!

yum....i like chilies!!!!!
not sure what 'A Traditional New Year's Day Meal' is... dad used to have a piece of chook and roast veg - same as a regular sunday but with chook instead of a vegetarian burger. as a kid i cant recall eating anything spec at NY's....

i am aimed at bean chili tonight, as i have already got the beans and chilies in soak ready! may dessert it off with a pear/banananananana smoothie.

I like the pickled chillies

Ooh, there's gas food if I'm right. Like a good, extra nose-running, eye-watering spicy kimchi.

My ex-wife's brother used to eat that stuff.. TOO HOT for me.. WAY to hot..

Maddie, Here in the US a traditional New Year's Day meal consists of: fish or pork, black eyed peas, greens & cornbread. For fortune, good luck, good health & prosperity. Foods that shouldn't be eaten on New Year's Day is beef, crustaceans & poultry.

Hwuh? Which region is this tradition from? I've lived mostly in the southwest, so I'm not saying it's not a tradition somewhere in the U.S., I've just never heard of it.

On The Eastern Side Some People Makes Sauerkraut Instead Of Greens, In The Southeast They Make What's Called Hoppin John W/ Black Eyed Peas, Spices, Onion, Green Pepper & Rice.

Beer Anyone??

I could go for something refreshing. But make mine a cider. Strongbow is mighty good, so's Angry Orchard.

Angry Orchard coming up..

ah yes kimchi noodles from Korea are nice n spicy - help cure my sinus problems if eat a bowl of they!! yum!!!

THEY BURN!!

no i didnt burn them, Larry - i ate them! yum yum yum... i like hot n spicy foods.

THE PEPPERS MADDY!! They BURN!!

So do I... but I can't eat spicy food no more. I get "middled aged man" problems if I eat spicy food these days.

I know what you mean..

have popped a coupla peppers in my dinner today - i half cooked it earlier - let it si8mmer out and will re-boil.simmer it til done later...as i didnt soak the beans long enough for a single cook.

Hot Peppers? or just mild ones?
