9 Lucky New Year's Food Traditions-- Part 1: Hoppin' John, King Cake, Tamales & Soba Noodles

History December 29, 2021.

Wanna get lucky in the new year.  Here's some stuff you can eat in between all the weight loss and tax commercials.

1.  HOPPIN' JOHN

A Southern thing.    Mix of black-eyed peas,  rice and pork.  All I remember growing up in North Carolina was eating lots and lots of black-eyed peas.

2.  KING CAKE

And, I thought it only had to do with Mardi Gras.  But, be careful eating this because there probably is a plastic baby Jesus in there somewhere.

3.  TAMALES

A Mexican thing, but sooooooo gooooood.

4.  SOBA NOODLES

A Japanese thing.
