New Year’s Eve ends one year and begin another brand-new one, and in cultures across the world, food plays a big role in welcoming good fortune. If you’re hoping to start your year on a lucky note, here are 10 foods that might just bring you good luck.

Black-eyed peas

There are many ways to enjoy black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day. Alone, the peas represent pennies, but when served with greens (representing dollars) and cornbread (representing gold), the trio is said to bring a bounty of wealth into the New Year.

Hoppin’ John, a dish from the African diaspora that’s made with black-eyed peas, rice, and bacon or ham (another lucky food to eat for the New Year) is also a traditional New Year’s Day dish, particularly in the American South.

Eating the leftovers, known as “Skippin’ Jenny,” the next day expresses frugality and is supposed to increase your prosperity in the New Year.
