How To make Hoppin' John

New Year’s Hoppin’ John in a cast iron pot

The legend of Hoppin' John is one that starts on a serious note but turns into a celebration. In the days after the American Civil War, the South had been devastated and many Southerners were left with precious little, except for blackeyed peas, extra animal pieces like ham hocks and these neck bones, and collard greens, which the Northern troops felt were only good for feeding animals. These dishes became cherished and appreciated , as they saved many a family from starvation during those times, and the tradition of celebrating these dishes with the New Year was born. The black-eyed peas represent pennies, and the collard greens are for paper currency, while the cornbread served with this dish is meant to be gold. Whether or not this is true, it's a popular New Year's tradition that goes with a wish for welath and prosperity in the new year to come.
