When I was growing up, my Mom always fixed some kind of wilted something. It was either cabbage or lettuce, I think, but I never ate it. Too gross looking, looked like seaweed...hahah. I don't fix anything for superstitious reasons. I'm not really superstitious at all.

Marilyn, no superstitious traditional food here either. I did make a nice dinner, we had manicotti, along with the sauce and meat, a delicous roast pork and stringbean salad.. I had a small crowd and it was nice, everyone was gone by 6and that was great, we were all tired from the night before I got to bed at 3.

We don't eat superstitious foods either. The best I could do yesterday was leftovers!!! Hopefully today I won't be so tired!

Oh my family definately has black-eyed peas every New Years Day! My mom has fixed them ever since I can remember. She always told me that the number of blackeyes you eat is the number of dollars you will get in the New Year! So, I ate a ton of 'em yesterday!

I missed having black-eyed peas, but I guess one year without them wouldn't hurt. I'm definitely doing it next year

I have never heard of the "black-eyed peas" for New Years! This is a first for me. I've only heard about the wilted green stuff. Since I've never eaten either....maybe that's why we're not rich....LOL

Rebecca, didn't know about the money connection to blackeyed peas. Just thought you would not have a good year if you did not eat them. So guess I really messed up, huh!?
 It is reassuring that we are the only ones who've posted so far who thought you had to eat them. Even though I know being superstitious is wrong if you trust in God, it's still hard to let go of a tradition even when you know it does not matter. There's still a little bit of you that is worried. What if...... Since Melissa (aka Lissa) missed the peas so much though, I will have to fix them for her soon, and definitely will not skip them next New Years.
