My Great-Grandmother told me this morning that it was greens for weath, black-eyed peas for luck (although she said that her grandmother always said peas for pennies), and pork for health. She also throws cornbread into the mix and claims it's for close family, but that could just be her spin on it.
Happy New Year!
