Topic Reading-Vol.3189-1/3/2021

Dear MEL Topic Readers,

They eat what? New Year's food traditions around the world

What specialty dish or food did you have on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day? Each culture has its traditional celebratory food to welcome a new year and wish good luck. In some cultures, black-eyed peas symbolize coins, cornbread represents the color of gold, buckwheat soba noodles bring longevity and prosperity, and lentils stand for money and good fortune. And in other cultures, people enjoy fruits or cake just to celebrate a new year, or just drink champaign and booze to enjoy the ceremonial eve.

What is your tradition and what did you have on New Year’s Eve or Day this time? Since 2020 was a difficult year for almost everyone in the world, we all wish 2021 will be a better year.

Enjoy learning about New Year’s unique food traditions.
