Like most families Holidays are a celebration of food in our family it’s a bit different . Take the most traumatic holiday in my husband’s life New Year’s Day. My family it’s Black eye peas ,cabbage , or stuffing your face with twelve grapes before mid night. My husband’s child hood was not so much a celebration as it was penance to appease God His mother made sour kraut and pork chops and mash potatoes. He told me if he played at the school playground which was five blocks from his house and the only hill you could ride a sled on in town, you could smell his Newyears dinner cooking . His friends would say oh my God what is that , he didn’t have to ask he knew . Dinner. It made your eyes tear as it burn them all his friends rean home, but for him it was a slow death march.
Dinner would last for hours because he could not eat it any quicker his older siblings didn’t like it any better but learn how to some how eat it quickly and get it over with they also took very small helpings of everything in the meal. He sat there with heaping helpings his father potion out to him, telling him eat it’s not what you like that makes you fat. That seam like a insult to him and his mother who made the meal. He once tried to put it in his cat’s dinner dish . She buried it under a throw rug getting behind and his cat spanked when his dad step in it in the middle of the night. He believes it is one reason he had night terrors when we first got married. He went to a local deli and ordered a sandwich by accident that changed every thing a Cincinnati Ruban. It is our Newyears dinner as it pays homage to most of our family traditions and is some how Delicious.
