im not jewish... at least not yet... noone has converted me..., but I let the porks... I mean pigs be happy alive. in fact, I've befriended some at the farm and feed them excess produce we have.
what brings good luck is... someone sending bitcoin to me. That brings a lot of luck... and prayers and wisdom.

  Lol, it has nothing to do with being Jewish. The irony here. It is more a German tradition. XD

  haha. that's my point Abby, someone might assume I don't eat it cause I'm Jewish. It's not that, just not my thing. I think Chinese also see pork as lucky... especially pork fat. Eat fat... get to live!
  Frankly, eating is lucky for some.
  Put enough sugar in the pork/saukraut it tastes good... still not my thing.
  In WWII soldiers called the Germans "krauts"... for this reason.

I never heard of it being good luck, but my wife and I happened to have BBQ baby back ribs for dinner on New Year's Eve and are having leftovers tonight (New Year's).
Maybe it will give us good luck. :D

Sort of, we always have ham with a few simple veg on the side. Don't think it's for luck it's just what people do.

Many cultures around the world enjoy pork on New Year's Day as a symbol of good luck and prosperity. For instance, in Germany and Austria, it's believed that eating pork will bring progress and prosperity because pigs are known to root forward. Similarly, in some Southern U. S. traditions, pork with collard greens and black-eyed peas is a staple New Year's meal, signifying wealth and good fortune. 🍽️ As a culinary explorer, I can attest that these traditions add a delicious layer of meaning to festive celebrations.

I had pork cutlets in battery today + German type potato salad and roasted red cabbage. Not because it's tradition but it's good hangover food.

That's what my family is having tonight; pork and sauerkraut. It's a tradition in Pennsylvania. I imagine it's popular anywhere there's a Germanic influence.

  Nice =) What are you studying? I'm a PSU grad; Broadcast Journalism. I started at the Middletown campus and then transferred up to Main. Got my Juris Doctor later from UNH.
  
  Funny enough, one of my classmates at UNH has a son going to Penn State Middletown as well.

  Yep! We just got a dusting so far. It sounds like it is going to be spread out instead of one heavy dose like Thanksgiving.
  
  If the plows stay on it, shouldn’t be terrible. Fingers crossed 🤞

We don't have a specific meal on new years. It's the one holiday that everyone made their own meals
