Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 As we are an international list I thought I would ask...What foods do you eat that are suppose to bring good luck for the New Year? I'll start: Because my family is from the southern US we eat Blackeyed Peas. Now I don't know why, just tradition. Probabaly because sometime ago, someone wanted to keep the pea farmers in business. I know that last year I thought hooey and didn't cook them...well, hubby was unemployed for all but nearly 3 months of the year, so...you can bet we will have our Blackeyed Peas this New Year's Day. Not that one has anything to do with the other, but I will keep up the tradition. I know that some up north eat Cabbage, but don't know why on that one either. OK, lets hear what your traditional " Good Luck Food " is. Hugs to All and Happy New Year~ Anita in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Hi Anita, Fun thread! That's very interesting about your bad luck when you didn't eat the black eyed peas. No sense in taking chances - put those on the pot this year!! My DH graduated from Athens, Tx high school - the self-proclaimed Black Eyed Pea Capital of the World, lol!! I think I'll put those on the pot this year too, no sense in taking chances ;-) Happy New Year! Pamela Anita Reeves [anita-r] Wednesday, December 29, 2004 8:15 AM OT-Good luck foods?
