Elin already mentioned Dutch oliebol in another thread.

What kind of food is traditional in your part of the world on Mew Years?

Here in the Southern US black eyes peas are traditional. I suspect there are as many recipes as there are folks who fix them. I serve mine over rice. True traditionalists also serve greens (collards or mustard). Personally I can't stand greens, so I don't fix them.

My in-laws were from Louisiana where the tradition is red beans (kidney beans) and rice. I used to love red beans and rice until hubby and I hit a very bad spot financially. We ate red beans and rice three times a day for three weeks. To this day I can't stand to eat them.
Thanks for this!
