Traditional New Years Food

 Families and individuals are put up with pressure, thinking of what foods to prepare for the coming New Year . Every culture are with traditions, and each traditions, they believed are accompanied by Food .

 Every country have different faith over good fortunes that New Year Food Traditions bring.  Each of the culture from each country of the world, even how different they are in upbringing has impressive similarities over New Year Food Traditions to what they wish to have.

 Tables across the world are usually adorned with Grapes from the common New Year Food Traditions .  For each grape piece is each month for the coming year.  By midnight, 1 grape piece is entitled to each stroke of the clock. If the third you consume is a bit sour, March might be a rocky month .

 Collards and Kale aside from Cooked Greens in the form of Cabbage are also food items in New Year Food Traditions.  Economic fortunes are believed to be delivered by the gentle greens of these leaves as they resemble folded money.

In Denmark, the Kale is stewed with sugar and cinnamon, and Germans eat Cabbage .  They are into thinking that the more greens one eats, the larger one's fortune next year .

The custom of including Pork in New Year Food Traditions is based on the idea that pigs represent progress . Different pork dishes such as pig's feet are enjoyed in Sweden while Germans feast on roast pork and sausages .  On other parts of the world like Italy and United States, pork is eaten because it symbolizes wealth and prosperity because of its rich fat content .

 Cuba, Spain, Portugal, and Hungary have Roast Suckling Pig from the New Year Food Traditions .  The New Year Food Traditions choice of Fish seems to be a logical choice .

 Way back before, because it could be conserved and carried across counties, cod has been a popular feast food in the absence of refrigeration and modern transportation .  Others keep fish scales in their wallet for good luck in some countries .

Cakes and anything round are also prepared together with other foods in New Year Food Traditions, from the reason that it is also believed to bring good luck upon meeting the first day of the coming year .
