Worldcook's NEW YEAR RECIPES |
Seasonal recipes January |
| New Year is celebrated in many
countries, albeit that New Year may take place on various dates. The
Chinese celebrate it in Spring;
Jews celebrate Rosj Hasjana; Coptic New Year starts on the
11th of
January,
the Japanese
celebrate on 11 September;
in Thailand New Year
takes place on Song Kran, 13 and 14 April;
Korean New Year or Seollal and
New Year in Vietnam
(called Têt) are
celebrated between mid January and mid
February.
Thus, there is always a reason to celebrate. For New Year one drinks special drinks like champagne and mulled wine; there is firework and people wear yellow or red new underwear. Some people run in circles with an empty suitcase, hoping for a year full of travels. Others eat 12 grapes, one for each hour. The dishes for New Year are often symbolic for wealth: coins in cakes, lentils and beans look like coins and green lettuce and cabbage for their vague resemblance to green banknotes. Whatever you may hope to achieve, it is always good to celebrate with family and friends. |
