Cabbage

[Suzie]

I am curious, has eating cabbage on New Year's day been a tradition for anyone else or is that just a local thing where I live. My grandmother always fixed it with coin money (boiled first)in it so you will have good luck and prosper in the New Year. Anyone have some good recipies for cabbage? This is one.

We eat black eyed peas on New Years day. It's supposed to bring you good luck for the new year. Your recipe for cabbage rolls is very close to mine except I don't make them in a slow cooker. I like to make cabbage as a side dish with bacon, lemon, butter, and dill.

We've always had black-eyed peas on New Years day. I had never heard of the cabbage until about 7 years ago from a friend of mine who cooks them both. Never heard about the money.
