Pork and Sauerkraut, Lucky or Not So Lucky
Being born and raised in South Eastern Pennsylvania, as long as I can remember, I have been eating Pork and Sauerkraut on New's Years Day. I can't imagine what would happen, if you decided to skip this traditional meal one-year, because I have never had the courage to try.
Passed down from generation to generation, the idea of eating Pork and Sauerkraut on the first day of the New Year is that it brings good luck to those who indulge.
Quite frankly, who wants to mess with that!
So what is all the hubbub about eating this meal on New Years Day?
Well, as the story goes it has been said that eating pork on this special day brings good luck to those for the entire year. But, why pork? Well, supposedly it is due to the fact that the pig digs into the ground in a forward motion, while other animals dig or scratch in a backward motion. The central idea being moving ahead, which seems obviously better then moving in reverse. Many nationalities throughout the world have gravitated toward eating some type of ham or pork on the first day of the year due to the"lucky factor".
