Tradition Vittles
We have certain things we eat as traditions or tied to special days or celebrations during the year( july4 burgers and dogs,Easter dinner Ham,Grandmas Sunday chicken etc)
New Year’s Day is one of my favorites just because of the food combination and it’s supposed meaning ….pork of some kind(normally ribs and shoulders),hoppin Jon (rice,blackeye peas and peppers made like a pilaf) and stir fried collard greens…….the tale is the hoppin John is for good luck and the greens are supposed to bring you money the following year.
Cornbread and Biscuits to soak up the plate drippins btw.
New Year’s Eve we normally do pasta of some sort, this year it’s seafood scampi.
Y’all got anything, it’s always interesting to see how the different people from different regions celebrate occasions.

For Christmas, we do smoked brisket and some kind of poultry too. Sides slide towards BBQ style due to the main course.
For NYE, we usually do seated ribeye, baked potatoes, and steamed broccoli/asparagus/edamame.
For NYD, kielbasa/hot dogs, sauerkraut, masked potatoes, green beans.
Various forms of alcohol throughout, depending on what everybody that comes wants. I’m a bourbon/stout beer guy myself.

That's okay BBQ, only CW can get in trouble for that!
If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

Smoked two turkeys over hickory and oak with a bourbon butter mop for Thanksgiving.
Was forced indoors for Christmas as it was minus something out of doors.
New Year's as of an hour ago will be grilled oysters, Eastern Shore pit beef, Smith Island cake and a mighty blast of booze.

I had to look up smith island cake……that thing would get destroyed in my house, looks awesome
We have a local lady that does something similar with coconut…..a bunch of thin cakes layered with some kind of ridiculous coconut cream frosting all in between…..it gets wiped out every holiday.
These threads turn out kinda cool every now and then, thanks for sharing.

We grew up doing sloppy joes on Halloween night just because we liked to get our kids fed a quick meal before they ran out to trick or treat in the neighborhood……
Even though the kids are grown,gone and quit trick or treating years ago my bride and I always end up making them anyway on Halloween……..she changed it up a few years ago and instead of the normal sloppy Joe red sauce she made them with burger, onion,water chestnuts and a thickened terryaki sauce for more of an Asian flavor joe. It’s a keeper, tasted great.

Not “ we” grew up…..our kids grew up eating them.
Hell when we grew up my folks told us to get lost for the night and that they better not get a call from the dam police ,lol.

Yes, I do most of the cooking in his house, but wifey holds down some of the sides and most of the hospitality.

Christmas morning tradition……..normally country ham and biscuits with red eye gravy.
If we are lucky there is always a little egg nog leftover from the night before and my wife will make us waffles using it instead of the milk……hit it with warm apple butter and powdered sugar.( it’s kind of strange sounding but is dam good)

My family tradition here in the Carolinas on New Years Day is pork (either pork chops or BBQ), fried fatback, collard greens as they are supposed to bring you greenbacks, black eyed peas for change (coins), and blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream for good luck. For Christmas, its orange rolls for breakfast (used to be Pillsbury, but my daughter makes them from scratch now), multiple soups and poor boy sandwiches for lunch at my Aunt's. I am responsible for butterscotch haystacks and chocolate peanut butter balls for the Holidays. Thanksgiving is traditional with a big table of food, but my mom's cornbread dressing, cream corn, and fried okra are my favorites. At the race track, fried bologna sandwiches are a race track tradition for me and my daughter.
