For as long as I can remember, my family and I have had this meal for " good luck " for the New Year.

The cook had some quality control on one of the corn sticks before serving.

Black-eyed peas, greens, smoked pork shoulder, a glass of red wine, and corn bread. I don't know if it brings good luck, but I do know it is a good meal to start out the New Year. Happy New Year Everyone.
Looks Good
I figure it's good luck on any day to enjoy a meal like that, looks great. I love the corn bread sticks, I've never seen bread pans like that, I could think of a hundred uses. I'll have to look them up.
Now that's a tradition I could sink my teeth into. :)
I've never had Black eye peas or greens like this but I can take two orders of the rest. I guess those greens must be similar to cooked spinach which I love with Butter and salt and a bit of vinegar.
