Good Luck Food for New Year

Good Juck FOod for New Year Long Noodles It's customary to eat long noodles, signify longevity, on New Year's Day. Since the noodles are never to be broken or shortened during the cooking process, the typical preparation for "Long-Life Noodles" is a stir-fry. Pigs symbolize progress. Some say it's because these animals never move backward, while others believe it's all in their feeding habits. Pork Though the number of pieces varies by region, eating any round fruit is a common New Year's tradition. I n the Philippines, the custom calls for 13, considered a lucky number; in Europe and the U.S., it calls for 12, which represents the months in a year. In both cases, their shape, which looks like a coin, and their sweetness are the common denominators Round Fruifs Pomegranates represent good luck in Turkey for many reasons: Their red color, which represents the human heart, denotes life and fertility; their medicinal properties represent health; and their abundant, round seeds represent prosperity-all things everyone hopes for in any fresh start.

Belief has it, the mo you eat, the more prosperous you'll be (and the healthier, too!). Greens Considered good luck due to their penny-like appearance and abundance, these peas, enjoyed in the southern United States, are traditionally served in a dish called Hoppin' John. On the day after New Year's Day, leftover "Hoppin' John" becomes "Skippin' Jenny," meant to demonstrate frugality and promote prosperity in the new year.
