Eating black-eyed peas and keeping a penny in you pocket on New Year's Day are supposed to bring a prosperous year.
It so happens that the Southern dish Hoppin' John is the perfect dish for watching College Football Bowl Games too!
Leave three black-eyed peas in your bowl to bring about luck, fortune, and romance. Eat it with cornbread (the color of gold) and/or collard greens (the color of paper money) to further increase your abundance.
