What is the meaning of corned beef and cabbage and black eyed peas on new years?
Good question! The meaning of corned beef and cabbage and black eyed peas on new years is associated with the fortune you should hope for in the coming year. Beef or ham is the meat of choice because unlike chickens (which you should never eat on new years!) these animals do not scratch in the dirt for their food. It is said that if you eat chicken on New Years day you are setting your destiny for the coming year to scratch in the dirt for your survival. Cabbage is green, like paper money. It represents wealth in the coming year. And black eyed peas are the most interesting. In the south, black eyed peas were originally planted as food for livestock. However, during the Civil War when Sherman and his troops stormed through the south burning and destroying crops, livestock, and homes, they left the black eyed peas. They did not want to waste time and resources destroying what they deemed to be already inedible. Because of the black eyed peas being spared, people who survived did not die of starvation. Therefore, black eyed peas are supposed to symbolize luck and prosperity in they year to come. Hope this helped.
