Lentils for NYE

[xXdReaXx]

..any one else have to eat them for good luck? :hmmm

my mother woke me up in the middle of the night because i didn't eat my lentils for good luck...:disappoin and proceeded to shove a spoonful of lentil soup in my mouth.

thanks mom.

is this only an italian thing? do your families have any weird food superstitions on NYE?:shuffle

[whosjohnny]

im not italian.....but had lentils

another thing we do here....
my mom gets a small container and fills it with rice and lentils and i think something else and throws in a dollar and seals it up. Then you're suppose to keep it in your room and then next year on new years you have to go outside and throw it out. Its suppose to be for luck that you always have money during the year or something like that.

I was a day late with my lentils... I hope I still have good luck :chuckle

My mom had a party at the house and she made lentils for everybody

Hmm, I am not sure I have heard of that before, any of that. :hmmm

[CHR!ST!AN]

yeah why are lentils good luck???

"Lentils represent good luck in Italy and are traditionally eaten on New Year's Day, perhaps because they look like little coins, or because they are so abundant. Economical and hearty, this rich soup may help to usher in a prosperous, healthy, and fortunate New Year."

and found this also"Pork and lentils are the conduit of luck for Italians. The pork is for richness of life, and the lentils symbolize money and good fortune."
