A great recipe--but I would effectively argue that this IS NOT the traditional Southern New Year's dish---that would be Hog Jowls, Blackeyed peas, Cornbread and Collards. All of the references to the meaning of the ingredients are consistent-with the notable exception of 'ham hocks' the jowls were the preferred meat--only my 2 cents worth
