How do you cook the good luck bean for New Year’s? Did you know that in the Southern United States, eating black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day is considered to bring good luck and prosperity for the coming year? There is an old Southern saying, “peas for pennies, greens for dollars and cornbread for gold”. For the first day of the new year black-eyed peas are traditionally cooked with a pork product such as bacon, ham bones or fatback. Black-eyed peas served with collard greens or rice and cornbread for the New Year’s day meal is a traditional dish some say dating back to the Civil War.
