So my mother-in-law is on a good luck kick and she was told that you had to eat all this different food you had to eat.

So tomorrow I am cooking (since she is still in the hospital):
Black-eyed peas with hog-jaw (not sure what that is and I am scared)
Cabbage (can I make cole-slaw instead)

So far that is all I have been told but I think that there is more to it than that.

So does anybody else have any New Year's traditions that they do to ensure Good Luck all year?
I need some more ideas becasue we need all the luck we can get this year.

Oh = you talking about the "poor man's meal". My mil makes that shit. So nasty! lol

And to answer your question, no. I don't believe in luck.

speaking of "poor man's meal" I saw someone buying pig's feet. I had to ask (not that I will ever in a million yrs. eat it) how you cook pig's feet.
I don't even remember how the dude answered it was just so funky.
Like Cris Rock said people get so particular about that shit. "No not that pig's foot, the one with a little Athlete's foot on it, that one!"

What I have learned living in the south for New Years:

Black eyed peas - bring fortune
Collard greens - bring wealth
Ham - bring health (why I don't know beasue it's not all that healhty)
Walk out the back door and in the front to symbolize a new begining.

Not really sure about hog-jaw though!

sounds like a gimme way to get people to eat shit they normally wouldn't....no thanks...

I think I have figure that hog-jaw is the same thing has fat-back and if you are not from the hills of NC you more than likely won't know what that is, but it is a really fatty salty bacon type meat. You can fry it and drain the grease for flavor or throw a hunk of it into the beans.

I had to call my grandmother on that one.
