of boiled cabbage, potatoes, carrots (smothered in butter) and ham. The meal was served shortly before midnight and not finished until after the hour struck. It was supposed to bring good luck for the year. Some years it actually seemed to work.

The recipe sounds good, I might have to try it this weekend. Thanks.
