A symbol of wealth.

Crap! I forgot. I think the black eye peas are for luck, and the greens for fortune.

I have no idea..I have never had collard greens so its not a universal New years dish. Have you considered asking your relatives who serve them??

Collards, made properly are delicious. You do not need to eat them on New Years, but if made then, they are good for a couple of days afterwards.
