Are you having the "traditional" New Years meal?

what is that meal, i dont know i have never tried such meal before, ur meal sounds much more new to me

Shoot! I didn't even think about it this year! Shame on me! LOL Okay, traditionally in my family my mother would make pork roast or spare ribs, sauerkraut and potatoes roasted in the oven together. I didn't do that during the times I was married because my husband would not eat the pork. But the past few years I have remembered and tried to have it. It doesn't look like it will happen this year though. I just went to the store today and am not going back before New Year's Day just to get the ingredients. This is supposed to be some kind of German good luck meal to have on New Year's Day. As I was growing up we also got in the habit of having Spaghetti on New Year's Eve...until I was a teenager, and then my friends and cousins would come over and we would make home made pizza and play cards all evening until after midnight. As for the Spaghetti, we are not Italian...we just like it as one of our favorite foods. Those days are long gone now and are just happy memories.

Our traditional meal is on New Years Eve. We cook a one pot dinner of cabbage, potatoes and polish sausage and that meal is eaten at midnight. A day or two before, I cook a ham and we just have sandwiches on New Years Day.

I have no idea what we are having to eat this time around. We have never really done the traditional meal. I am hoping to talk my wife into some pulled pork!
