New Year's Day dinner at my house always includes ham, collard greens, black eyed peas, and corn muffins for health, wealth, and good luck in the coming year.
Wishing everyone an amazing 2017!!!
Three Good Things:
1. A brand new year
2. Optimism
3. Family and friends
I love hearing those really American names of your foods. Why are they called collard greens & but black eyed peas must be the very essence of American food, I presume corn muffins us a pudding? Hope all went well. We had roast beef, peas, carrots & swedes, Yorkshire puddings, gravy gorgeous roast potatoes.
i did not know that corn muffins were for good luck. i love them and we also had them on new year's day but not with ham. my husband's vaorite meal is shepard's pie so we had that - and i made a few muffins to go with it. oh, they were soooo good. your photos are wonderful!
@happypat I looked it up and found that the name "collard" is a corrupted form of the word "colewort" (the wild cabbage plant).
Corn muffins are actually a bread (cornbread in muffin form)...extra yummy with honey butter.
Your New Years dinner sounds delicious! @catsmeowb - Cornbread is said to bring prosperity and luck in the New Year simply due to their gold color. You can't go wrong welcoming the New Year with Shepard's Pie!
@peggysirk I buy cornbread loaves from our bakers in the village. It's yummy. Looks a bit yellow & crunchy on the top, I might forego my careful eating diet this morning & show you some toasted with apricot jam on top. Your sound like what we call crumpets, sort of muffins with holes in, good toasted with honey & butter. I thought collard was cabbagy!
