  • Im with Frenetica. Mostly though, I think it's the photo.

  • I can't find this morning's recipes from Ms. Lee for black-eyed peas; collard greens; and prune cake for New Year's Day. Looked good, but I've spent too much time on this website and not found it.

  • I'm from South Carolina and if someone served me pork and sauerkraut on New Years Day, I'd order Dominos. The tradition, for my family is black eyed peas with a dime cooked in it. Whom ever get the dime has good luck the reast of the year, and cornbread with lots of butter. Or, hoppin john, dime included in that as well.

  • I second that frenetica!

  • New Years Eve about midnight and New Years Day we eat Pork and Sauerkraut for good luck and wealth in the coming year. I like beef hot dogs with Heinz ketchup with sauerkraut too. I have also picked up eating black eyed peas, corn bread and 12 grapes at midnight (one for every chime on the clock) too. It is the superstition/tradition that I like to follow. We don't eat chicken, turkey or any foul...+READ

    New Years Eve about midnight and New Years Day we eat Pork and Sauerkraut for good luck and wealth in the coming year. I like beef hot dogs with Heinz ketchup with sauerkraut too. I have also picked up eating black eyed peas, corn bread and 12 grapes at midnight (one for every chime on the clock) too. It is the superstition/tradition that I like to follow. We don't eat chicken, turkey or any foul as that is bad luck-scratching for money all year. Who knows if they are true or not but I still do them. I have a friend that her family eats: roast beef, pork, cabbage, pasta and fish.

    So what do you eat special that day? I like learning new traditions.

    The buffet looks good to me but I would still need my traditional foods that day too..-COLLAPSE

  • hey, mercyteapot: tradition? since when is pork and sauerkraut EVERYONE's tradition? i'm asian, and that isnt a tradition my family holds..... maybe they dont focus so much on that b/c it isnt applicable to everyone. there are other cultures in the world you know......

  • The colors look very retro.

  • Hmmm... even though the recipes themselves sound good, what about a nod to tradition here? I can't imagine a New Year's Day without pork and sauerkraut, and I know many others who need a ham and/or hoppin' john to celebrate this day.

  • I'm a little disappointed by this feature. I normally love your recipes. But I can't imagine waking up with a roaring hangover and wanting to eat a single dish from this spread, esp. the mango. Also, the photo looks kind of grim. Sorry.
