Here in the deep south in the States we eat Hogs Jowl and Black eyed Peas. I like mine with corn bread and greens with fried potatoes. I'm not sure what the symbolism or superstition is but we've been doing it for several generations and i like it!

It's just tradition....started out as 'you're gonna have good luck in the new year'...but, that don't happen....so, now it's a good way to get rid of excess cabbage and black eyed peas...which are delicious!!!!!
Good Morning!
