Green leaves

It's German tradition to cook and eat pork and sauerkraut for New Year's Day. Pigs are considered symbols of good luck, and cabbage leaves symbolize money and thus, wealth. In German agrarian communities, families who owned a pig were considered fortunate in that they would be able to feed their families during the winter. I consider this a delicious tradition when paired with homemade applesauce and mashed cauliflower or sweet potatoes. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all of the leftover pork roast. Pulled pork sandwiches anyone?
