Tradition says if you eat Hoppin’ John and Collard Greens on New Year’s Day, you and your household will be blessed with prosperity. Liberty Steakhouse and Brewery at Broadway at the Beach, is offering this New Year’s Day tradition for FREE.
Hoppin’ John, also known as Carolina peas and rice, is a peas and rice dish served in the Southern United States. It is made with black-eyed peas and rice, chopped onion, sliced bacon, and seasoned with salt.
Tradition that began on the South Carolina Sea Islands and Lowcountry amongst the Gullah/Geechee has continued, even to this day.
The entire dish is eaten on the first day of the year as a blessing of prosperity for the home and for the people sharing the meal. The peas are the element that is multiplied easily and are representative of the coins that were desired by our ancestors in abundance for various reasons-to buy freedom, to buy land, to take care of their families, and for general advancement. The greens represent the “greenbacks” or dollars. So, in all cases, the dish represents financial blessings.
