pork and sauerkraut

Hearty Alsatian dish

Pork and sauerkraut is a traditional dish pairing roasted pork with fermented cabbage, especially associated with Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine and New Year's Day celebrations in parts of the American Northeast and Midwest.

Eating it on New Year's is thought to bring good luck—pigs root forward (symbolizing progress), and cabbage represents money.

We always have pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day.
