We might have some fried chicken or another meat to go with it, and cornbread as well.

I usually get them specially for NYE.

It’s a Dutch thing.

Another person who likes pickled herring.
I don’t know about being Dutch, but my dad would often get pickled herring and it was always a treat regardless, if it was on New Year’s or another day.

I ever eat it.

I’ll take a pass.

It's a Norwegian thing also. Grew up with it but only on New Years.

loin cooked with sourkraut.

(I wish!)

I'll take lobster.

Our daughter-in-law from the Netherlands spends the whole day making them. We all end up with powdered sugar all over our faces laughing our heads off. Best served with champagne and small children in the room, if available.

Google it. Sounds delicious.

I think the episode was called "Monster." One of Lucifer's brothers had just died.

I knew there was a joke in there somewhere, and you found it!

Liberal use of hot sauce for me.

Have a great meal!

without Pork and Sauerkraut !

fancy food at midnight, use to do champagne, now non alcoholic sparkling something. Not sure we will be up until midnight this year, due to various health issues. So fancy meal will probably later on new years day.

Black-eyed peas. My mom was raised in the south and we had them every New Year’s Day. I still make them every year. My mom always cooked them with a big chunk of ham, and made cornbread, collard greens w/ bacon, roasted sweet potatoes and pecan pie for dessert. I still make the same meal to carry on the tradition. For a different suggestion: My daughter-in-law is from China and for Chinese New Year she makes dumplings, rice balls, fish (usually salmon), fresh fruits, and fried noodles. Happy New Year!

I can't stomach the tripe......

But if you want something really different....

Black-eyed peas
Scrambled eggs
Sausage
Biscuits & gravy
Hashbrowns
Orange Juice

The rest of the year I go back to my usual bowl of shredded wheat and soy milk.

That's quite a spread.

With mimosas and pastries

this year we’re having pork tenderloin.

on New Year's Day

Pan seared scallops (with a beurre blanc with added scallion & bell pepper strips), white wine poached green beans, and a saffron & butter potato puree.
We just italian beef today.

you can always make your own white rice, especially now as it is sold in 180gram tubs that can be nuked in 2 minutes

My wife got me an apple pie, so that's my dessert tonight. I'm an apple pie nut. We're having ham on New Year's Day.

Good luck with your dinner. Just keep saying "YUMMY" as you browse the kitchen and figure out what weirdness you want to make. Be creative! Have fun! Remember what it feels like to be 15 and have a little control over a kitchen. Don't hurt anything!

Having originally come from TX, it's been black-eyed peas. I couldn't find any at the several stores I went to over the past couple of days so yesterday I ate Lentil soup...
