What do y'all cook in your location to bring good luck for the new year?
I'm cooking up a pot of Black Eye Peas with Hog Jowls. I'll serve it over White Rice with Corn Bread. It's going to be so good it'll make a rabbit spit in a bulldog’ s eye.
Happy New Year, y'all!

none here-we go out for sushi.
-
Lobster tails! Also shrimp appetizers.
-
Pork and sauerkraut for me
-
Sausage and Cabbage--for some years now with friends. Just out of the oven, the house fragrant with the cooking. It'll have to be warmed up again come this evening.
That a dish with only three ingredients (cabbage, sweet Italian sausage, a bit of butter) and salt and pepper, should be so good, "Greater than the sum of its parts," as one of the celebrants has said more than once, says it all, I think.
Luck has nothing to do with it. Whatever successes I have in the coming year will be of my own doing.

Ham==for luck, cabbage==for wealth, black eyed peas==for health.

Cabbage with pig tails and ham hocks....and some cornbread on the side Mmmmm!
-
Nothing specific. We have a wedding to attend tonight! So we'll eat what they server, if it's not too much junk food. Else, we'll come home and have a salad or beans and salsa.
I never stay up late. But I'll probably wake up at 4:30 or 5 a.m.! As usual.
-
Y'all are talkin' 'bout some good eats! Sea food, sausage, pig meat and everybodys favorite, sushi...and a wedding on New Years Eve, wow. Y'all are makin' me so hungry I could eat a bowl of lard with a hair in it.
I'm just waitin' for the #1 SBG chef, Sly Bear to disclose his choice for a lucky New Years dish.

Usually we have Asian food of some type. Tonight I'm making Char Siu Pork.
Here's a photo from earlier this year:

Oh man! I love that Asian food...I'd better or else my "SO" would slap my bald head.

That sure looks good, but there are a few things wrong...you need a cold beer, a bottle of Red Rooster and a much bigger plate of them nachos.
-
That was just a pic I pulled off of the internet...I had all that you mentioned except no Red Rooster.

How did you nachos turn out? They sure looked delicious. You do know about Red Rooster Sauce? Rooster Sauce, is a little spicy and may grow hair on your head chest!

I'm sure you're referring to Sriracha sauce...which I always have a bottle on hand! Though, I only use it for Asian style dishes. For nachos I have my favorite hot sauces, Valentina being the recent favorite.

You're right on...sriacha sauce! Valentina es excelente tambien...when I ate junk food I found it the sauce to use on chicharrones (pork rinds)...now on the infrequent corn chips, etc. So how were the nachos? Did your guests clean the plates?

My family prepared quite a feast on New year's eve. Smoked ham, pork chop, pasta, fried milkfish, cheese, fruit salad, tuna macaroni salad, chocolate cake, beef stew, valenciana and fresh fruits. Any chicken dish is off limits during the new year feast because of a crazy Filipino belief that chicken scrapes the dirt for food and does not bring luck. All this being said..we will be eating leftovers from the feast way into the 1st week of the new year. Hehehe.
-
Oh man! That really sounds like a feast...I would have hurt myself. I thought Valenciana is a paella with chicken, sausages and pork, right? But no chicken at New Years. I'll bet everyone took a snooze after the meal, eh?
-
We had fresh cracked crab, salad, fresh sourdough bread, several bottles of Far Niente Chardonnay, and the Lovely Mrs. Schro whipped up a chocolate mousse / crushed oreo cake for dessert.

Yes, valenciana is a Filipino adaptation of paella but for new year, we skipped the chicken component. We stayed up way past midnight, a majority of Filipinos are going crazy lighting firecrackers, putting stereos on full blast and dancing in the streets until sunrise, and of course..drinking booze like there's no tomorrow. Crazy...

What surprised me was that the "Red Rooster brand" is made in the US, not imported. I've only used it with Vietnamese food in restaurants. Otherwise the hot sauces of choice in our house are from the home team, Tabasco, from Avery Island, LA.
-
Sriracha is quite possibly the tastiest condiment on earth.
-
Yes, for years I thought, "Red Rooster" was imported from Vietnam until I read an article about the guy who put it on the market in CA. It is pretty tasty sauce.
I went to Avery Island with an old g/f from Lafayette years ago...a beautiful place with the azaleas in bloom and very interesting learning of the process and about the salt domes. She told me how an oil company drilled through one and caused a disaster.
Another interesting sauce is, "Texas Pete" which I began using when I was in the service stationed in NC. It's made in Winston-Salem and has been in the same family since the twenties, unless things have changed.
-
Texas Pete has been my brand of poison for years.

All of these sauces are delicious...hummm, I feel a little heartburn coming on.
