My family, on both sides, are mostly from Scotland and England. I don't know if this tradition is from either of those countries, but in our family, we always had to eat at least ONE black-eyed pea on New Year's Day, to ensure good luck. Does everyone else do that, too?

My parents both came form Vietnam, but you didn't have anything on that country. I really liked your site because it had a lot of information on it. I also liked the background.
Our family is mixed with a few different cultures: German, Indian, Mexican, and African American. We make French toast quite differently than most. We use a thinner pancake mix, then dip the bread (white or wheat), and fry in just a little more oil than you would pancakes (with each slice). It is really good and yummy! As I became an adult, I realized that it was not French toast at all, because I learned how everyone else makes French toast (with eggs, milk, and cinnamon and/or nutmeg). Now I just call it "pancake bread."
My family came from Ireland in 1900. My Great-Grandmother was only 18 when she arrived in Galveston. Only a couple months later she survived the storm of 1900 where 6,000 people died.
