What will be on your menu for an African American New Year’s Dinner?
I was told that the following were must haves on New Year’s Day:
Macaroni & Cheese
Collard Greens
Black Eyed Peas with Rice
Corn Bread
I am adding Pot Roast! LOL
Any other suggestions?

I am not african american myself but I still have some recommendations for you (if you want):
CURRIED CABBAGE
1 large cabbage
1 white onion chopped finely
1 medium sized potato, diced small
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (for colour)
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
70ml water
Use a medium sized saucepan and put the tablespoon of oil in to heat up.
Shred cabbage and place in saucepan with the 70ml of water.
Add the salt, pepper, onion and potato.
Make sure that the cabbage begins to soften first before adding the curry powder and turmeric, stir in and make sure all the cabbage is covered in curry powder.
Once you see the cabbage start to cook, turn the heat down a bit and place lid on pot to steam the cabbage, stirring occasionally.
Top water up as necessary to cook cabbage, potatoes and onion.
SPINACH AND PUMPKIN
1 lb. spinach
1 lb. ground beef
1 sm. pumpkin
2 onions, sliced
1 tbsp. fat
2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. flour
2 c. water
Brown meat and onions in 1 tablespoon fat. Add 1/2 cup water. Peel pumpkin and cut into cubes. Steam pumpkin and mix with meat. Chop spinach, cook and mix with the remaining ingredients. Add salt and boil until mixture thickens. Serve with boiled potatoes.
BOBOTIE
3 slices day old bread
1 1/2 c. milk
2 med. onions, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 c. slivered almonds
1/2 c. raisins
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. salt
1 tsp. curry powder
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
2 eggs
Soak bread in milk. Squeeze milk from bread, reserving milk. Combine all ingredients, except milk and 1 egg. Press mixture into an 11 x 7 inch baking dish. Add enough milk to reserve milk to make 3/4 cup. Beat together milk and remaining egg. Pour over meat mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until golden brown and firm to the touch. 6 servings.

Someone has given you misinformation.
There is no standard African-American dish(es) for New Year’s Day or any holiday. If you are considering having dishes considered traditional “Soul Food” that’s one thing but they are not associated with any particular holiday.
