Thread: I was always told to eat blackeyed peas on New Years day

Tracker, in case you didn't notice, when other members were making crude remarks about your goats. Suggesting they be turned in to food, bow strings, and gloves, I stayed completely out of that conversation. I just admired them for their beauty.___Just saying.

My wife started fixing a "Good Luck Jambalaya" back when our boys were young and did not really like ham.,black eye peas, sweet taters and collards with cornbread. The jambalaya has rice, black eye peas, peppers, onions, and shrimp in it and is topped with bacon. We fix Collards as well. our house became the eating place for the kids and their friends on New Years day after that.
So, my son(now grown with his own family) asked me this year about the meal. He said he knew the Black Eye peas were for luck and the Collards(greens) were for money, but what was the pork for? I told him it as so he would not outlive his money.
