We have (traditionally) Ham and Blackeyed Peas - It's said if you eat 300 blackeyed peas it's good luck for the year. Usually going with that we have greens or cabbage, mashed potatoes and mac and cheese.
If you are going to make it - you can go the super easy route of getting those pre-sliced hams and blackeyed peas in the can (Busch's brand is not too bad).

Serving a whole chicken symbolizes wholeness and prosperity Tea eggs = fertility Sticky Cake = According to custom, this steamed fruitcake is fed to the Chinese Kitchen God so that he will report favorably on a family's behavior when he returns to heaven before the start of the New Year. Peking Duck symbolizes fidelity in chinese culture Cooked greens including cabbage, collards, kale, and chard, are consumed at New Year's in different countries for a simple reason — their green leaves look like folded money, and are thus symbolic of economic fortune. Pork = progress

We eat black-eyed peas for luck. Cabbage for good wealth.

I eat a Hershey's bar. That should make your assignment a little easier.

people usually get wasted on new years day, but i would guess hot dogs and burgers.
