Add a photoI am no stranger to myth and superstition, as well as unique and sometimes weird practices come the New Year. For example, Filipinos and others fill a basket of different round fruits to put on the dinner table on New Year's eve, or to open all windows at the strike of midnight as a way to banish the bad luck and to welcome good luck in the coming year.
In the American South, a plate of black-eye peas is believed to bring good fortune for the New Year. With the additon of greens (the color of money), the dish is considered auspicious and will bring about wealth and prosperity. It is traditionally eaten on the first day of the year.
So to you all, Happy New Year. May this recipe bring you joy, goodnessm and an abundance of good luck!
