HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It has always been a tradition for some to have blackeye peas on New Years to ensure good luck and good health for the coming year.

I'm having some tomorrow and expecting to bag a big buck next season.

Anyone else feel they need to eat some blackeye peas to ensure a successful hunting season next year?

No; cabbage is what you're supposed to eat on New Year's Day, to ensure a healthy and prosperous year. At least that's what my mom & her mom used to say...

I think I'll make venison my "traditional" new year's day meal...

I'd have to say Fergie is my favorite BEP.

But speaking of New Years traditions, you got to add some rice, fatback, and onions to those peas. It's called hop'n'johns.

A good pork roast with sourkraut, and mashed potatoes. UMMMMMMMM UMMMMMMM. A Pennsylvania tradition.

I'm in the blackeyed pea crowd! I'll be eating mine with some fresh North Dakota lamb chops and some steamed veggies. YUM!

Blackeyed peas for luck, greens (perferably young turnip greens) for money, cabbage, 'cause I like it (stuffed with ground deer and wild pork) and a bunch of friends!
No better way to spend New Year's Day. Not hunting this time, going to cook for my wife's horse friends, at a short trail ride. May even take my Mule along for good measure.
Ya'll are welcome to our camp...just bring your own fork plate and cup. Its a cowboy camp!

I love all the traditions...
Grew up on the Cornbeef and Cabbage for new years.
I'm crazy about black eyed peas, but since I married a Greek we'll be having Vasilopita which is a bread made from an old handed down recipe. Inside the bread will be placed a silver coin. The bread is cut and he/she who choses the coined piece will recieve all the luck for the upcoming year.

Maybe I'll listen my The Blackeyed Peas CD while eating it this year.

Deer chilli and a cold one here.

Reminds me of the old Hee Haw show... "Grandpa, what's for supper" ... Possum stew, collard greens, and black eyed peas, Yum,Yum.

Heck, Lon, if they work on that "big buck" I'm gonna eat some myself next year.

George and Bill, a little early on the nog today?

Sourkraut and deer ear are new to me.

For one day a year, we eat some beef steak and king crab legs with mushrooms.

The rest of the year is wild things.

I'll second "Fergie" as my favorite BEP!

Iron, we must have posted at the same time. May the good lord walk with you tonight my friend.

Happy NEW Year.

Our tradition is to have black-eyed peas cooked with diced onion and ham left over from Christmas, along with fried potatoes with onions and a big pan of cornbread and bigger glass of sweet iced tea.

Sorry about the run-on sentence but I was drooling over the keyboard and couldn't type a .

I'll second what George said. Definitely a PA tradition. None for this year, but it's got my mouth watering.

I just left my mother's house and she is preparing
blackeyed peas, cooked cabbage seasoned with hog jowl for our family tomorrow. Has always been a tradition in her family. I should probably pick up some bean-o on the way over tomorrow.

Our tradition is black-eyed peas, pork loin and sauerkraut, shrimp, and fried oysters on New Years Day. It's sort of weird for WV but I'm a 6th generation German ( The good wife also!) but we have four children... Two of our own making as well as two beautiful children from South Korea... so it fits!
