It's a dinner time Pennsylvania Dutch tradition on New Year's day.
Pork and sauerkraut, I know some people who were having that tonight!
Some people were eating it for good luck and some have other reasons.
If you want to keep moving forward and prosper in 2015.
This needs to be your dinner on January 1st.
"It's tradition." said Dan Heist as he ate at Allentown Brew Works. "It's Pennsylvania tradition and it's a good way to start off the new year."
Some have been eating pork and sauerkraut since they were children.
The sauerkraut according to tradition will bring blessings and wealth.
Eating pork brings good luck and well-being.
Also, the pig roots forward, which signifies moving forward in 2015.
Heist came back to Pennsylvania from New England to get his meal.
"They eat fish because it's the same kind of argument," added Heist. "Fishes keep moving forward so it's good luck. Instead of eating something from a cloven hoofed animal that scratches backwards."
For others it wasn't about tradition.
"I've been coming here for the last 3 or 4 years," said Adam Dunn from New Tripoli. "I just come for the all you can eat pork and kraut."
Jeffrey Mann is from Fairbanks, Alaska and didn't even know the meal he was eating will bring him good luck in 2015.
"Sounds good," said Banks. "Sounds like it fits with the day. We've already had an auspicious beginning to 2015."
No matter if you are eating one plate or four like Adam Dunn.
Eating the meal does invoke a feeling of hope and good fortune as the year goes on.
"I would want a healthy baby," said Dunn. "Because my wife is pregnant, she's due on February 25, so that would be what I want."
