Is this anyone else’s family tradition?

What they taste like?

should worry more about smell.

The Thanksgiving mashed potatoes that nobody eats

What they taste like?

Really depends on how they’re seasoned, and who’s cooking them. They’re always going to be slimy. The ones I eat are pretty mild tasting. Add a little hot sauce on there, and it’s a bit more spicy.

My new year's tradition is to watch Coming To America.

I do it every year.

Wait - whutTttt. Explain pls

I wish I knew more of the backstory. I'll have to look into it.

I may be wrong but I think it’s so you don’t bring “dirty laundry” into the new year. You want a clean slate. I think that’s why we had to clean up the house every New Year’s Eve.

also you can’t wash laundry the DAY of New Years because it will “wash” a family member away

Just picked up my smoked turkey necks and black eyed peas today for New Years.

Same thing with my family. My maternal Grandma had a lot of New Year's traditions/superstitions she passed on to us.

Soul food on New Year's day.
A man needs to be the first person to enter your home on New Year's for good luck throughout the year.
Don't eat fowl on New Year's day or you'll be scratching yourself throughout the year.
Don't wash clothes on New Year's Day because you will wash someone out of the family.

Legit didn’t know this one year. I was getting ready to wash and my mom instantly popped up like


I’m like tf?

She calmed down and just told me it was tradition, didn’t bother to ask her why.

 

[Elle Seven]

yes ....can it be someone in the household?

Growing up, it always had to be someone who didn't live under our roof, though he could be a family member.
