Hop n' John and clementines. I don't why my husband and I have pinpointed clementines to be lucky but we make an almond clementine cake to celebrate occasions with a little extra luck.

Hmm, I've never really thought of this before.. I'm not sure Black-eyed peas are yummy though!

When I was a cheerleader in college, I would always have a cheddar cheese on wheat bread with mustard sandwich. I don't know if it was for luck, but it wasn't game day for me without the nourishing comforting wich.

We always ate black-eyed peas with a ham hock in them at New Year's for good luck and we always eat Chinese food takeout when we get our income tax returns back to celebrate our little windfall and to spur on good "money luck".

Bacon wrapped dog on a Saturday night means I will not wake up with a hang over!

Grapes on New years 12 -- one for every month

Hot and Sour Soup - Will you provide recipe for this wonderful looking Chinese Chicken Noodle Soup?

yes, please post the recipe for that soup... it looks amazing!

my mother makes us eat a pork roast with potatoes and apple sauce every new years day for good luck. we have to come home and eat together, no matter how hung over we are...ugh! It's a tradition her mother did, so she does it for luck I guess.

I find beer pretty lucky.

its not so much a good luck thing, but my mother in law always makes people traveling or starting anything new to eat some sweets..and milk is considered a sign of blessings and such..

my mom's from hungary, and i grew up with the idea that eating lentils on new years makes you beautiful and rich for the rest of the year. i love lentils, so i eat'em every year!

I grew up in Washington, but my granny was from Texas, so we always eat black eyed peas. I don't even like them, but it's tradition.

In my family, we must eat tamales and drink hot eggnog with lots of nutmeg on Christmas Day to insure good health and prosperity in the coming New Year. (It doesn't work if we just do this on New Year's Eve...not sure why.)

Hmmm, that's an unusual Chinese soup. It's not authentic Chinese, is it?

Personally, I don't have any lucky food, but my morning cup of coffee is important to me. I cannot start my day without my coffee (done my way).

Although the boyfriend is pretty westernized, he's still sticks to his Chinese birthday tradition. So every year on his, or my, birthday we have to eat long hand shaved noodles (for long life) and roasted pork (the red of the pork representing blood/life). On Chinese New Year he makes a lo bat in a round shape, to represent a coin for wealth for the new year.

i really want to say that i have a 'good luck' food but i don't think that i do. i know that i have a few that are FAVORITES but other than that - nothing too lucky.

We do Japanese food for New Year's Day.

ummmmm none...ha.

GlowingMoon, that is most definitely authentic. My mom has been making this for me since I was a kid. It looks exactly the same too!!

We have tamales with our Christmas dinner and always cook black-eyed peas on New Years Day.

on new years we eat grapes one for each month and lentil soup

I wish I could say I had a good luck food, but I don't. Next time something good happens I'll have to remember what I ate that day and try and recreate it. lol
