New Year traditional foods (GTKY)

My grandmother was very superstitious and had to cook all the "right" foods for the new year. She always did an elaborate lunch of all kinds of lucky foods such as greens, black eyed peas, pork, fish, cakes, ect.
I don't do as much as her but I have started my own tradition of sorts.
I do- roasted grapes with Italian sausage.
Collard greens with bacon- for money
Lentils with sausage and rice- for money
Pork is supposed to represent progress. And this year I'm also doing a leftover Christmas candy pie. 
What traditional foods do you do and what do they represent?

Re: New Year traditional foods (GTKY)
My grandma is southern too. Black-eyed peas are a must for her!
My mom hated BEPs, so we didn't follow those traditions, but if we don't have roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, baked potatoes, and pie, it feels wrong!

Behind The Scenes
Raddest Queen Of Them All
I like science. Here's proof.
This is our tradition, and this year we've added black eyed peas and collard greens because we'll take all the luck we can get!
Wow I have never heard that! That just got me out of the laundry I was going to do today!
Do you eat all 12 grapes in one minute? DH and I do this, it's always good for a laugh!
