Happy New Year! Greens, Beans, Pork and Cornbread Recipes

 

Southern Tradition
History

It all began with the Civil War.  

The greens collard, turnips, and mustard greens were in season and the black-eyed peas have a history.  Union Gen. William T. Sherman decided not to burn the bean fields because they were considered only good enough to be fed to animals.

The greens had the meaning for money dollars, and the black-eyed peas stand for coins.  The pork we sometimes have thanks to my mama Dot is hog jowl. Any kind of pork will do.  Yep, The hog can't turn his head backward, he always looks forward which symbolizes looking forward not backward in the new year!  Cornbread symbolizes gold.  I read some of this in an article by Tony Melton.

I didn't know about the cornbread but sure heard about the greens, peas, and pork from all of these relatives.   I knew we always had cornbread but didn't know there was a history behind it all. 

Today's recipe posts may interest you if so I hope they will be of help to you.
