Basically title. Normally we put something "normal" like cocktail shrimp but what's everyone else doing?

Raclette, which involves a lot of food besides the cheese prepared in little pans or on a grill.

[-] stormdelay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Ending the year full of cheese is ideal

[-] rotkehlchen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

The worse the year the more cheese I eat. I just bought 1 kg.

Whatever trash comes out of the vending machine at work 😕

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 9 points 6 days ago

Similarly eating at work, but my workplace provides a hot meal (though not necessarily time to eat it while it's still hot).

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

We have crab cakes, some snacks you heat in the oven (jalapeno poppers and bean empanadas), tinned fish like sardines and similar, and cheese and crackers. And a "champagne" the Cava Raventos Blanc Blanc de blancs which is the best bubbly white wine I have ever had and not even expensive.

New Year's Day is black eyed peas, collard greens, and potatoes. Yum.

Box macaroni and cheese with frozen peas in it.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 6 days ago

Lol my partner is going to be so into that.

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The traditional new year's food of the place I grew up is pork roast and sour kraut cooked in a crock pot for about 8 hours, with mashed potatoes.

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

Oliebollen, and probably too many :)

Last year I had to stand in line for up to two hours to get a fresh batch on the 31st. Even appeared on local tv because of the huge line.

Not sure where and when I’m going to get this year’s batch, but I definitely don’t want to have a repeat of last year.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago

After reading the wiki I can see why. 🤤

[-] olbaidiablo@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

Ordering pizza and playing a game with my wife called "can we stay awake until midnight?" I won last year, it's about 50/50 this year.

[-] TwoTiredMice@feddit.dk 7 points 6 days ago

We usually get blinis with caviar and Crémant. We haven't decided on anything else yet.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 6 points 6 days ago

Sauerkraut, onions, and kielbasa (as is tradition).

[-] chetradley@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

We're hosting some friends so I spent all day Saturday making tamales!

Nice! the idea of relaxing food makes sense.

[-] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 4 points 6 days ago

I’m not sure about New Year’s Eve, but New Year’s Day is a big day for tradition with my wife. We always have pork, greens, and black eyed peas every New Year’s Day. It’s some sort of old tradition.

(When I made this post with voice dictation, it capitalized Black Eyed Peas, so I guess it thought that I was going to have Fergie and the boys over. 🤔)

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I'm going over to hang out with my sister, we're ordering Indian food.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

My wife and I will have a quiet dinner together at home. At some point we started having lobster tail for New Years, and it's become kind of a tradition.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I'm suppose to make hoppin john on new years eve to eat on new years day but I may or may not remember. I think nothing for us watching the ball drop though. Maybe popcorn.

[-] ollie@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

local chinese takeaway! weve started doing it every NYE, as well as our usual one off takeaways. we have a really good one (people from all over our half of the country have said its the best chinese theyve had) so im quite looking forward to it :3

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 5 days ago

[-] Lorfan@lemmy.world -2 points 5 days ago

There's never anything to eat at my house.
