half a raisin + celery stick = "have a raise in your salary"
half a raisin + shot of vodka + 2 shots of ginger ale + shot of tea = "have a raise in spirituality"

Can you tell me what the "significance" of the other foods are? What are black eyed peas? (Did they even have black eyed peas thousands of years ago?)

We use these for yehiratzones:
Apple, Leeks, Beetroot tops/swiss chards, Dates, Pumpkin, Green beans, Pomegranate, fish head (hard to get sheep's head here).
These simanims appear on Keritot 6a.
"In his prayer book, Beit Ya’akov, Rabbi Jacob Emden cites reasons for eating other symbolic foods, each reason derived from a play on words: rubia– that our merits be many [Heb. yirbu]; karti– that our foes be cut down [Heb. yikartu]; silka [beets] – that our foes vanish [Heb. yistalku]; tamari [dates] – that our foes cease [Heb. yitamu]; qara – that our [harsh] verdict be expunged [Heb. yikar’a] and our merits be read before You [Heb. yikar’u]. Another reason given for eating qara (Ta’amei ha-Minhagim u-Mekorei ha-Dinim) is that “it grows by the strength of the moon, which moves the tides and calls forth good deeds/mercy; and it is cold within, and this is cooling and commuting harsh punishment.” The Mishnah Berurah gives a reason for the custom of eating pomegranates: that we have as many merits as a pomegranate [has seeds]. The Shulhan Arukh gives a reason for eating fish: “because it alludes to being fruitful and multiplying as fish [spawn].”

My three year old just coined a new minhag. I gave him challah dough and he rolled it half-way-leaving one end skinny and one end fat. He noted it looked like a fish. I said perfect for Rosh Hashanah. He proceeded to make a bunch of "fish challahs" It's good because noone around here likes any fish and we usually buy jelly fish but I think challah fish are a better idea.

Better hack off the tail before yomtov and remove it from the house.
