Turnip greens in most of the South. Just had pulled pork, greens, black eyed peas and cornbread. Damn good!

Legend has it that collard greens and black-eyed peas are said to represent a prosperous new year, with the greens symbolizing cash and peas coins.

Black-eyed peas seasoned with smoked jowl, salt pork, ham scraps cooked in ham stock.
Turnip, mustard greens with roots well seasoned with tasso, etc
Kone Braid...
Noon meal!
Peas=Coins
Greens=Cash
Kone Braid=Gold.

Most Southerners will tell you that it dates back to the Civil War. Black-eyed peas were considered animal food (like purple hull peas).
The peas were not worthy of General Sherman's Union troops. When Union soldiers raided the Confederates food supplies, legend says they took everything except the peas and salted pork. The Confederates considered themselves lucky to be left with those meager supplies, and survived the winter. Peas became symbolic of luck.
Most people will tell you they eat cabbage or collard greens to insure prosperity. The green leaves represent money. The real truth is closer to this. Cabbage and collard greens are late crops. That means, especially in the south, they would be plentiful and ready for harvest in early January. Fresh veggies meant good nutrition.
