Our family's tradition in West Virginia was to hide a shiny new half-dollar in the head of cabbage. Whoever got the fifty-cent piece in their serving was guaranteed luck all year. http://www.fb.org/blog2/blog1.php/2008/12/29/black-eyed-peas-and-cabbage-bring-luck#c23 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 18:21:47 +0000 Pat Cockrell [Visitor] c22@http://www.fb.org/blog2/ In the deep south New Year's Day is marked with both great taste and the potential for great luck in the new year. To position yourself for good luck you need to have those blackeyed peas boiled with hog jowl. This not only is a great menu item but also a terrific taste that says you're in the south. Never mind any health concerns about the black-eyed peas and hog jowl. After a fine dining experience your good luck is bound to be more of a sure thing than the lottery. Enjoy and have a great and prosperous new year..... http://www.fb.org/blog2/blog1.php/2008/12/29/black-eyed-peas-and-cabbage-bring-luck#c22
