Good recipe – but the part about the pork is incorrect. The reason usually put forward for eating pork on New Year’s Eve/Day has to do with the fact that pigs root forward, meaning that your life will move forward positively in the new year. The opposite is that you should never eat chicken, because they scratch backward, or lobster, because they swim backward, because your life will have setbacks throughout the year. Not sure why the author felt compelled to included slaves being provided cheap cuts of pork in the listing or why this fact is considered lucky on New Years Eve/Day.
