When we entered the new millennium back in 2000 some of my Southern friends told me that it was very lucky to eat black-eyed peas on New Year's Day because they look like coins and Collard Greens since they look like paper money. Although these are relatively inexpensive dishes, it's said eat poor on New Year's to bring you luck and eat rich the rest of the year. It is also traditional to eat pork with the meal because pigs root forward and symbolize progress. Pork is also very lucky for many Eastern European and Latin countries and they make it a part of their New Year's Day as well. So I created this all in one-pot Curried Hoppin' John with Pork and Bacon to really make it extra lucky. Serve it with the "Curried Collard Greens" and you can double your luck.
