I am making greens, blackeyed peas and cornbread, though I am not from the South. I like whole prosperity for the next year and good luck thing, and the deeper message of being poor, looking forward, not back, a lot of tradition and symbolism, and I do love good symbolism and tradition, even if I have to borrow it.
Its also just out and out delish! I may not be Southern, but I can cook like I am.
Except for the cornbread, that , *gasp* is going to be from a box mix. I know, I know, but I don't have a cast iron skillet to make proper Southern cornbread, nor the "staple" pantry items to make it, and I lugged enough groceries home in the cold today!
