Saundra,

I went to my mother's today for collards (took the tiniest bite possible) hog jowl (even tinier bite) peas (ate lots...but not JJ's weight...don't hit me!) corn (yum-o) and of course corn bread!

The greens are for money and I'm not sure exactly what the rest are specifically for...good health...prosperity...I think the gist of the practice is to eat humbly in the beginning of the year to allow prosperity to come to you...

Hey it could work...so eat some collards and buy a lottery ticket...see what happens!
