My family traditions (this is a very strong tradition -almost religion) is that they are eaten the first day of the new year. The reason would be that the dish is symbolic of what you wish to receive for the remainder of the year.
Peas = peace for the family
Jowls (hog jowls) = health for the family
Rice = riches for the family

Southern tradition is New Years Day! Also have some greens (collard, turnip, mustard or cabbage is fine). And as with a southern meal of this type - always serve the cornbread!:)

Southern tradition is to eat them on new years day for luck. Along with collard greens or cabbage for prosperity. Also heard that cornbread is for love.

Interesting. I only knew it was some kind of NY tradition. Regardless, we're having ours tonight. I've already started on it.
