I will be eating black eyed peas, collard greens and cornbread on New Year's Day to have for the luck and money.

I don't, but my grandparents do. I don't believe in those things and I don't like to eat that stuff.

Aah, my mom used to make black-eyed peas for New Years when I was a kid and I remember it would stink up the house!! So no on the black-eyed peas and I've never had collard greens before(although I know what they are).

Corn bread sounds good though with a piping hot bowl of chili!!

Mmmmmmm...cornbread.

I never heard of eating that for luck. Is that a southern thing?

LuLu Rogers · 12-29-2007, 11:17 PM

Yeah Irene, it's a Southern thang, lol. Hell no, I won't be eating it! My family does, but I can't it that sh*t

LOL

I'm not southern and I've never even heard of it until now, so no. And even so, it sounds nasty.
