Sauerkraut on New Years is an absolute must. No way around it. In addition to having it for dinner on New Years Day, we take a small pinch of the raw stuff, and eat it at midnight.

Another must is the Neujahrsbrezel. A yeastdough simmiliar to brioche formed into a large pretzel shape. It is part of the breakfast on New Years morning.

Pross Neujohr, de Kop voll Hoor, de Muul voll Zäng, Brezel in de Häng.

Pork and sauerkraut is PA Dutch. The feast of the seven fishes is Catholic.

But you are all missing the big question. The question of momentous import:

KETCHUP ON SAUERKRAUT?! ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE!?

LMAO!!! Absolutely! But it's still delicious! It kind of makes the sauerkraut a little less tart and a little tiny bit sweet. You should try it!

In my defense, I was set to squirt ketchup over all of it, but, since it had simmered all day long with caraway seeds, it was so good by itself, I only squirted ketchup over half.

I know, I have the eating habits of an 8 year old.....

Well, I'm quitting again, so maybe I can hook you up with some used ashtrays.

I don't know if it's a regional thing, but around here, you have to eat pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day or you're going to have a really sucky year. I'm not really in the mood for pork and sauerkraut today, but I'm going to throw it in the crock pot because I don't want to take any chances. And make a big batch of mashed potatoes to go with it, because it goes so well with it. And I like ketchup on my sauerkraut.

Also, throwing money in the door the first time you enter the house after leaving it in the new year. My grandmother did that every single year. You didn't dare touch it, even if you found it in August, she'd screech like a banshee. Seems if you didn't leave the money there on the floor where it landed, she would "end up on the poor farm!"

Any other New Year's traditions? Not resolutions, there's another thread for that. Just little things you do for good luck because it's a new year.
