What foods are part of your traditions for the New Year? Some traditional foods include pork, because the hog roots forward, symbolic of progress (chicken or other fowl is avoided because it scratches backwards). Pork was also a practical winter food before refrigeration because it was preserved. Cod is another food served at the New Year, also because it was preserved. In traditions from the South, side dishes might include a dish with beans, such as black eyed peas or pinto beans, symbolizing coins. To increase your folding money, add cooked greens.
