It's the New Year. Happy 2007. What are the foods you prepare and or eat on New Year's Day? It has long been an African American tradition to eat black-eyed peas (represents good luck) and greens of some kind (represents money). I will be going to my mother's for peas and greens, along with roasted hen, dressing, and sweet potato pie.
Okay, don't talk about me too bad.

Also, chitterlings, chittlins. Once a year, we eat them. It has been a tradition and I know what chitterlings are but I like them. We clean them thoroughly, cook them and enjoy it for one day of the year. Well, actually, my mother and I are the only ones who eat them. Sometimes our former pastor and his wife, natives of Jamaica, come for New Year's Dinner and he will eat them.
