Superstition aside, the greens (turnip or mustard), blackeyed peas (with pork jowls and dried hot red pepper) and corn bread (white, cast iron skillet and not sweet) to soak up the "pot liquor" of the peas, were both a symbolic and very real way to get back to earth after the rich holiday fare and excess. Of course, my grandmother set a pretty high standard for this humble ensemble, which is probably why I remember it so fondly (and always do someything along those lines on New Year's -- at least something with beans or peas!).

Good appetite from NY via Tennessee,
