No particular dish for New Years Day, but if we stay in on NYEve (and this year we are having a quiet one in) I buy a roast, maybe beef or pork, make hot sandwiches, open a bottle of Champagne and roast some chestnuts...then at midnight OH goes out the backdoor and is let in the front...always carrying a piece of coal.

Not sure what the origin is, but it's a tradition I grew up with so we still do it.
Happy New Year Syl!!
In Scotland people say "Lang may yer lum reek" as a New Year toast, meaning "Long may your chimney smoke" then sometimes people joke "with other peoples coal"
Basically it means, you hope the person lives a long and healthy life!!

I love the old traditions...long may they continue.

All the best for 2019.
