You need to move to the south. Traditional new year's day foods are collards and fresh black eyed peas with hog jowls. Supposedly one will make a penny for every black eyed pea eaten, but given inflation, I mostly stick to the hog jowls and greens these days.

On New Year's Eve, we have whole lobsters with melted butter. Fine stuff, and far better than pizza. Albeit, pricier. The friends we celebrate with always buy the lobsters, and I bring all the side dishes, salads, and appetizers, etc. I expect we get the best end of the deal. But this way we can keep it all lc.

Pizza for New Year's? Yuck....
