Superstitious Meals and Practices?
I was surprised when I moved to Pennsylvania Dutch Country that EVERYONE ate pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day for good luck during the coming year. There are tons of superstitions, too. The first person to enter your home on the 1st must be a dark haired male and he has to leave by a different door. Wish I could remember some of the others. I find them all fascinating. Breakfast on Shrove Tuesday is donuts. Fashnacht - the night before fasting on Ash Wednesday when you clear the house of fat for lent. Have any of your own or your region?
