Probably that Southern thing with ham, cabbage, and blackeye peas.

It's interesting how there can be variations within regions. You aren't all that far from where I grew up, but we didn't do the cabbage, just the peas (with greens, cornbread, and some sort of pork). Isn't the cabbage more of a German thing?

Could be. (Probably) 🤷‍♂️ Grandparents were German on one side and French on the other.
 
New Year's Eve is a big thing here. Why? Because Venezuelans just love a party.
Last year, NY eve was a dreadful affair. We went to a friend's house ; there were 7 of us. Our friend's sister thinks she knows how to cook and made the most appalling salad with cantaloupe melon, onion and something else. Her boyfriend got kissed as a poot by 10.30. The year before, 2021-22, I was 35,000 ft above sea level, flying over to the UK. At least I had a glass of champagne at 12 midnight.
Soooo... this year, we're doing a New Year's Eve party.
Menu is:
Smoked salmon with cucumber jelly and curry mayonnaise.
Crespelle lasagna - ie. lasagna made with crepes instead of pasta
Grilled courgette/zucchini salad, with marinated bocconcini and Parma ham (thank you, Emeril Lagasse!)
Green salad with nuts and raisins and a passion fruit dressing
Tiramisú
Apple olive oil cake

And plenty of Scotch whisky!

Although I have to ask how the curry mayo fits with the smoked salmon and cucumber jelly. I’ve made it from the recipe you kindly supplied (very nice it was too) and I can’t see how that works?

So I see your pikelets look like our American pancakes but Google says they are Welsh and more like free form crumpets, but my crumpets look more like English muffins which aren't really English at all...:hyper:

Just to complicate matters, they're closer to drop scones than American pancakes.

And crumpets are made with yeast, these are not.
