Hi Rosemary:
Down here in my part of South Carolina we eat the following on New Year's Day:
Hog Jowl (I prefer smoked- fried) For Health
Collard Greens For Green Backs ($)
Blackeye Peas For Change ($)
Corn Bread (corn pone) Forgot what that is for but sho is
good with the other stuff
Hope that helps!
Bob
The South Will Rise Again!
