Note: We make these every New Years it has been a tradition for years in our family. I read while in Florida years ago about different meals that people ate on New Years day. The one that caught my eye was this one. It said if one would eat rice, pork, black-eyed peas and greens that it was supposed to bring one good luck, so we started doing it.

Rice is supposed to bring you riches,
pork is for prosperity,
black-eyed peas I believe is for health
and the green are for greenbacks (money).

Although we put our faith in God and not in luck we have enjoyed this tradition. Another way to enjoy all of the same ingredients with out making so many different dishes is to make a dish called Hopping John and serve it with greens on the side.
