For many, January 1 offers an opportunity to forget the past and make a clean start. But instead of leaving everything up to fate, why not enjoy a meal to increase your good fortune? There are a variety of foods that are believed to be lucky.
对于很多人而言,新年是一个忘掉过去、重新开始的机会。不过,相比把一切都交给命运,干嘛不给自己煮一餐幸运食物,给自己来年添点运气呢?在美国和其他一些西方国家,有这么一些食物是大家新年常吃的,也就是人们常说的幸运食物了。
New Year's revelers in Spain consume twelve grapes at midnight—one grape for each stroke of the clock. Lately, each grape then represents a different month, so if for instance the third grape is a bit sour, March might be a rocky month. For most, the goal is to swallow all the grapes before the last stroke of midnight.
Legumes
Legumes including beans, peas, and lentils are also symbolic of money. Their small, seedlike appearance resembles coins that swell when cooked so they are consumed with financial rewards in mind. In Italy, it's customary to eat cotechino con lenticchie or sausages and green lentils. Germans also partner legumes and pork, usually lentil or split pea soup with sausage. In the Southern United States, it's traditional to eat black-eyed peas in a dish called hoppin' john. There are even those who believe in eating one pea for every day in the new year.
