Old family tradition - first food for New Years is black-eyed peas.
We lived all over the country when I was young, so I think my parents picked that up in the south. I don't know for sure.
First clear memory was when I was about 7 and my mother took me to a Sierra Club Lodge in the California Sierra mountains, around Truckee, I think.
There were about 30 people on the trip and we stayed in a large open building about a half-day ski hike from the road. The snow was so deep we had to enter through a door on the second level. Then we dug a route out the main floor door and cleared some windows for good air circulation. The place was heated with fireplaces and we were there 3 or 4 days. I learned to ski with instruction from some pretty experienced cross country skiers. First thing New Year's Day was the classic black-eyed peas!
Good memories.
Fridge, pan, *time*, yummy......throw pan in trash...... and buy new shit for the year?
Brainstorming, Win.

Ham and bean soup in the crockpot by 6:00 am, cleaned off the GF's car, everything done for Ed, snow shoveled, did the elderly neighbors stuff too...I think I'll crash on the couch for a few hours and make up some sleep.

My grandparents on my Dad’s side (god rest their souls) would serve creamed herring on toasted slices of homemade mini loafs at the stroke of midnight on NYE.
Talk about nasty vomit inducing foods.
