Robin,' We always ate pork and saurkraut on New Year's Day. Supposed to bring good luck and good health. My mom used to say if you ate chicken(fowl) on New Year's Day you would scratch (for a living?) all year. Down here it is pork and blackeyed peas for health and wealth. We will be having porkroast with saurkraut. May throw in some blackeyed peas for my husband. Pat
