Ya never Know whatcha don't Know 'til ya Know, yanno?

So my friend J and I are re-doing her little apartment so her mom, F can move in. [F is off visiting the brother for the holidaze] Amongst alla the painting and scraping and sanding and shopping we got to talking about New Years dinners.
I learned to eat the black-eyed peas from my Dad’s Texas side of the fambly. O’course with lots and lots of corn bread. mmmmmm....
Her family, however, had a much more complex set of required foods: pork *something*, pickled herring, cabbage, donuts and a whole list of other things. We remarked on what an odd combination that all was and moved on to other matters.
Today she informed me she’d found out the reasons behind some of the foods: cabbage [duh] means cabbage as in $$$. Donuts is for something sweet. The fish is still a mystery but the one that caught me was the pork.
Pork is for moving forward, because when pigs root they move forward. Neat, huh?
Now we know why pork isn’t halal.
