    We just purchased all of our items for our New Year's Day celebration. Collard greens, black eyed peas, and preparing cornbread. We are looking forward to it.🥂🍾❤

    My late grandmother in law only allowed a man to come into her house first on New Year’s Day. Every year my FIL would go over to ensure a man walked in first. Miss her dearly

    Knowing our history is important, but it’s sadly being ignored.

      My mom would tell us on New Year Day to make sure a man comes thru your 🚪 first or a telephone call. If a woman is your first visitor, you will have bad luck all year.

      Not necessarily ignored but colonized and ingredients for these are going through the roof ever since 'them folks' had 'discovered' these traditional foods

      I believe many cultures take the same foods and add their own twists. That’s the greatness with aligning food to your culture l think. In Louisiana l’m sure black eye peas, collards are cooked differently depending on the culture. The Gullah, the Cajuns, and the Creoles will cook these foods differently and yet, the significance will mean the same.

    I hope those New Year’s Day dishes brought prosperity to anyone who prepared and ate it.
    My parents cooked all those same foods when I was as growing up.
    Thank you for the Black history on New Year’s Day traditional foods. I enjoyed your video. 👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽

    Collard Greens originated in East Africa, and Specifically in Ethiopia.

      Not remotely, the closest origin point we have found is near Greece, in the Mediterranean.

    Slight correction, they originated in Northern Africa but the domesticated ones we are familiar with were cultivated in Western Africa.

    Another thing they didn't teach you about your history is that "New Years Day" was also known as “Hiring Day” or “Heartbreak Day,” which was the day many of our ancestors ended up on the auctioneer’s block.
    And btw, only pagans celebrate the New Year in the winter.

      WoW, I never knew that. I guess that is why my grandma always told us to say goodbye and say we love each other to love ones. You don't know if you might never see them again. We would laugh. We will see each other again.

    I always wanted to know why we eat black eyed pea on New Years Day. Not Lima beans, Navy beans, kidney beans, or butter beans.

      New Year's Food Traditions: Many people consider certain foods to be fortuitous for the New Year, which ties those practices to both, Janus and the pagan goddess, Fortuna (Lady Luck). Black-eyed peas represent The Eyes of Janus, (represented with two faces looking in opposite directions to illustrate his supposed power of seeing both past and future) looking back to the past and ahead to the future.
      And on New Year's Day, the traditional Southern spread consists of black-eyed peas, cornbread and collard greens (symbols for good fortune of wealth-coins and green folding money, respectively), ham or pork (for prosperity), and yellow cornbread (represents gold).

      Well in that case, you should recognize that most holydays, including New Year's are rooted in Idolatry.
      New Year's Food Traditions: Many people consider certain foods to be fortuitous for the New Year, which ties those practices to both, the pagan god Janus and the pagan goddess, Fortuna (Lady Luck). Black-eyed peas represent The Eyes of Janus, (represented with two faces looking in opposite directions to illustrate his supposed power of seeing both past and future) looking back to the past and ahead to the future.
      And on New Year's Day, the traditional Southern spread consists of black-eyed peas, cornbread and collard greens (symbols for good fortune of wealth-coins and green folding money, respectively), ham or pork (for prosperity, ie. "High On The Hog"), and yellow cornbread (represents gold).
      Several cultures believe that eating ring-shaped foods on New Year's, represents coming full circle. i.e. Round cakes and cookies, or a glutinous bag Of New Year's Day Bagels, to cure your New Year's Eve celebration hangover with.
      Ring out the OLD Year, Ring in the NEW!
      According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, 'bagel' derives from the transliteration of the Yiddish 'beygl', which came from the Middle High German 'böugel' or ring, which itself came from 'bouc' (ring) and el (god); in Old High German, similar to the Old English bēag "ring" and būgan "to bend, bow".
      Variations: Montreal-style bagel, pizza bagel, bagel toast
      Created by: Jewish communities of Poland
      Associated national cuisine: Jewish, Polish, American, Canadian, and Israeli
      Place of origin: Poland
      Bagel
      6) DRESSED TO THE NINES - "Dressing to the nines" (in honor of Janus, because "Janus sees you crossing")
      The phrase descends from the Old English saying “Dressed to the eyes,” (referring to The Eyes of the two-faced god, Janus - beholding the past, while simultaneously beholding the future). The phrase in Old English, was written as “Dressed to the eyne.”
      Eyne = Plural of eye; - now obsolete, or used only in poetry. "With such a plaintive gaze their eyne. Are fastened upwardly on mine."
      Over time, the Word "eyne" was transliterated to "nine".
      The first example of the use of the phrase to be found in print is in Samuel Fallows' The Progressive Dictionary of the English Language, 1835. In his entry for the phrase 'to the nines' Fallows gives the example 'dressed up to the nines' and suggests that it "may perhaps" be derived from 'to thine eynes' - to thy eyes.
