What do you Eat during New years?

Hello Everyone, This is a question I have been pondering upon over and over in my head.. What is it that everyone eats during new years?  For my family it has almost always been Sauerkraut and kielbasi I have seen this tradition with other people too, but I just am curious what are some other things that people eat during new years?   I mean there has to be other things.

The reason I ask basically is why is it that Sauerkraut is so popular that the stores that I went to to pick up  Sauerkraut  were sold out of it.. and well if someone cannot get  Sauerkraut , what would they get then..?  would they just not eat? or would they make hamburgers and stuff like that.. oh and Where does the ball drop in other parts of the country for different time zones.. I know I can probably look all this up but it is nice to let people know what is going on in my head.. kind of scary isn't it?  hahaa
