Angliholic  +  456904 Tue, 25 Dec 07 11:18 AM In the southern part of the U.S., an old tradition is to eat black at New Year's. Some people eat one pea for each day of the coming year. People say that the peas can bring good luck and prosperity. Is there a word omitted after "at New Year's?" Is it "Time" or "Eve" in the above sample? Thanks.

	Mister Micawber  +  456920 Tue, 25 Dec 07 01:43 PM There are two words omitted after 'black'-- it should read 'eat black-eyed peas'.  New Year's is a common way to refer to New Year's Day, but it can also refer to the general season, i.e. New Year's Eve and Day and a few days afterwards.
