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
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.
You have such a lovely deep baritone speaking voice. You would do excellent if you did audio books or even spoken word poetry. Thank you for sharing your information with us. 🙏🏾 (Respect to you and your entire family for all your dedication, and hard work)
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. 👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽
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.

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).
I agreed with you up until you started talking about the pig !!! 😮 Reason being. The people of the Americas are Hebrew !!!!! And. The Most High Creator Yahweh told Us Not to eat pork. Period ❤
Well in that case, you should recognize that most holydays, including New Year's are rooted in Idolatry.

Put a little less sad-voice in it. You sound almost heartbroke at times telling it lol Talking about good grub like this would auto-cheer me up. Just saying. 🤷♂️🍲
Why in beginning segment do you speak in past tense? You telling what 'used to be' when it's still celebrated and practiced + not monocultural; I've eat/celebrated it. Lotta Southern Whitefolk do.
But , he's not talking about or to White folks, He's Speaking to Black People, Is that a Crime ⁉️ For Black People to talk between themselves without other people being included,
@maryh9569 ma'am as a ✡️ I understand the need of cultural awareness. Blackfolk absolutely is endowed with right of self-determination that I'd even say ain't practiced enough. I however included that one part to say the practice in question ain't a black-exclusive tradition.

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

❤❤❤❤❤❤I am going to make Hoppin' John for the first time for New Year's. I had never heard of it. Thank you so much
I love black eyed peas. I make them vegan, though. I love smoked paprika.
Black eyes peas in your wallet. Is anyone familiar?
Yes... my family has been doing this as long as I can remember. My aunt was a stickler for making sure we all had them!
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.
Shalom family ❤❤❤

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.

Yeah WE had Corn.... BUT IT WASN'T 🟡 YELLOW DAT Corn is BAD CORN, BAD FOR OUR BODIES💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
😭 My Grandmother and Great Grandmother use to cook a Racoon for New years can somebody tell me if that's a southern thing or something 🤢
Im absolutely sure that black eyed peas are NOT from the Eastern hemisphere.

Aggiungi corvo a quella lista.
What are you trying to say?. When have you heard of blacks eating crow or was that a racist statement?🤨
I've never liked black-eyed-peas or greens of any kind.
