A traditional German-style New Year's dinner is pork roast with sauerkraut.
Take a pork butt, toss it in a crock pot, throw in a couple of jars of
sauerkraut (with juice), 1/4 cup white wine and some caraway seeds (I never
add those) and you have a wonderful meal (well in about 6 hours or so).
Very traditional New Years.
