Basically title. Normally we put something "normal" like cocktail shrimp but what's everyone else doing?

We have crab cakes, some snacks you heat in the oven (jalapeno poppers and bean empanadas), tinned fish like sardines and similar, and cheese and crackers. And a "champagne" the Cava Raventos Blanc Blanc de blancs which is the best bubbly white wine I have ever had and not even expensive.

New Year's Day is black eyed peas, collard greens, and potatoes. Yum.

The traditional new year's food of the place I grew up is pork roast and sour kraut cooked in a crock pot for about 8 hours, with mashed potatoes.

Ordering pizza and playing a game with my wife called "can we stay awake until midnight?" I won last year, it's about 50/50 this year.

There's never anything to eat at my house.

Raclette, which involves a lot of food besides the cheese prepared in little pans or on a grill.

[–] stormdelay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ending the year full of cheese is ideal

The worse the year the more cheese I eat. I just bought 1 kg.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whatever trash comes out of the vending machine at work πŸ˜•

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 days ago

Similarly eating at work, but my workplace provides a hot meal (though not necessarily time to eat it while it's still hot).

Pizza from the nice place.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Box macaroni and cheese with frozen peas in it.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 2 days ago

Lol my partner is going to be so into that.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Oliebollen, and probably too many :)

Last year I had to stand in line for up to two hours to get a fresh batch on the 31st. Even appeared on local tv because of the huge line.

Not sure where and when I’m going to get this year’s batch, but I definitely don’t want to have a repeat of last year.

In denmark he have the tradition of eating kransekage which is only available in bakeries and grocery shops around new years eve.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 2 days ago

After reading the wiki I can see why. 🀀

[–] TwoTiredMice@feddit.dk 7 points 2 days ago

We usually get blinis with caviar and CrΓ©mant. We haven't decided on anything else yet.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 6 points 2 days ago

Sauerkraut, onions, and kielbasa (as is tradition).

[–] ollie@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

local chinese takeaway! weve started doing it every NYE, as well as our usual one off takeaways. we have a really good one (people from all over our half of the country have said its the best chinese theyve had) so im quite looking forward to it :3

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 12 hours ago

ah, a succulent Chinese meal

I’m not sure about New Year’s Eve, but New Year’s Day is a big day for tradition with my wife. We always have pork, greens, and black eyed peas every New Year’s Day. It’s some sort of old tradition.

(When I made this post with voice dictation, it capitalized Black Eyed Peas, so I guess it thought that I was going to have Fergie and the boys over. πŸ€”)

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My wife and I will have a quiet dinner together at home. At some point we started having lobster tail for New Years, and it's become kind of a tradition.

Nice! the idea of relaxing food makes sense.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I'm going over to hang out with my sister, we're ordering Indian food.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I'm suppose to make hoppin john on new years eve to eat on new years day but I may or may not remember. I think nothing for us watching the ball drop though. Maybe popcorn.

[–] chetradley@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
