Traditional New Years Meal

Around parts of the American south the tradional menu is: black eyes peas, hog jowls, collard greens and cornbread.

What do you eat for New Years in your part of the world??

beer, beer, and more beer.


I think some sort of steak pie is cooked to soak up the alcohol, but you get the picture.

I like the beer idea. I'll have to try that. 😉

I have a 20 lb. turkey for thanksgiving and only three people will be at my house. Anyone wanting free turkey contact me here by PM.
( I am trying to avoid having to eat turkey for the next two weeks.)

On New Year's Eve, Germans traditionally eat Berliners. Not the people, but the pastry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_%28pastry%29

I knew a German family, and on St. Valentine's Day, they gave out large, heart shaped, soft gingerbread cookies. The cookies were covered with chocolate icing, and had words in German written with White frosting. Have you seen these before? If so what are they called? I have the munchies bad ,and one of those bad boys would hit the spot. 😉

They are called "Lebkuchenherzen". I didn't know that some people give them out on St. Valentine's Day, though. St. Valentine's Day (which apparently was introduced in Germany by US soldiers after World War II) is mostly marketed by florists in Germany.

Yes, that is what I wanted to know. And Lebkuchenherzen sounds right. Thanks for the info. 🙂 Now to get some of them. 🙁

Edit: Perhaps it wasn't for Valentines day. I just remember how good they were. 🙂
