New Year's Traditions

Post #1 - December 27th, 2005, 9:23 pmAn interesting post here about a German-American New Year's Day Dinner.
Somewhere I'd missed the fact that it's not just Hoppin' John that's a traditional New Year's food.
A little web-surfing finds more New Year's traditions from [url=http://www.japancorner.com/new-years.asp] Japan,

and Greece.
Or, there are short collections here and here.
So, of course, the question is what traditional New Years foods will you be serving--or missing--this weekend?

Post #2 - December 27th, 2005, 10:11 pmFor me, the traditional New Year's foods are
1. Herring (a leftover tradition from when I had a Swedish girlfriend)
2. King Crab Legs (a traditon that the Chow Poodle and I started nearly 20 years ago).Steve Z.

Post #3 - December 29th, 2005, 11:29 amAs a transplant from down South, I am too terrified about tempting bad fate by NOT eating Hoppin' John or another black-eyed pea dish on New Year's Day. I do this despite the fact that the rest of the day's consumptibles may be, say, Japanese.
Cheers,

Post #4 - January 2nd, 2015, 12:34 pmDug up this old thread so that I could post about my first attempt to ensure luck, health and wealth in 2015! Had a great start on the ingredients after a recent trip to Charleston so decided to pull out my Lee Brothers Charleston Kitchen cookbook and give it a go.
Hoppin' John for luck, Collard Greens for health and Carolina Gold rice for wealth (ok, making that part up) made for a delicious start to the New Year.
Wishing everyone here the same!

Post #5 - January 2nd, 2015, 12:44 pmHi- I sang with a group at First Night in downtown Evanston NYE, and then I saw Howard Levy perform and finally Regina Carter who was wonderful. Howard Levy I did not care for as much. I would highly recommend First Night though. It only costs $20 for the night. There were supposed to be some food trucks there though and I did not see any. Did anybody try any food trucks? It was so cold out, but it was warmer than it was last year. Last year I stayed home. I ended up going to Naf Naf for dinner. It was the first time I had been there, and it was not bad, and was inexpensive. A lot of the cheaper places were closed for NYE. As I was walking home at 11:30, I walked past Found, and they were packed.
