In Pennsylvania and Ohio, mostly in or near Pennsylvania "Dutch" (Deitch/German) areas, it is common to celebrate New Year's Day with a meal of pork, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes. The practice comes from a Pennsylvania "Dutch" tradition that dictates these foods will bring good luck in the new year.
在美国宾夕法尼亚和俄亥俄州的德意志聚居地，荷兰和德国裔的居民会在新年煮一份他们民族的大餐。通常有猪肉、酸泡菜和土豆泥。据说这样的食物会在新年给人们带来好运。
