Actually, blackeyed peas (usually made up in some form of Hoppin' 
John) is the traditional (Southern U.S. anyway) "good luck" bringin' 
New Years Dish.  Menudo is better known as a hangover remedy...which 
may be good luck to some, after a night of New Years celebration

Interesting substitution...hominy is cooked whole kernals of processed 
(either with lye or slaked lime) corn.  Polenta is essentially corn meal 
(as in ground corn used for making cornbread, cornmeal mush and such).  
The only thing the two have in common is they start out as dried corn.
