We eat lentils and pork in the hope of wealth and luck

It is a belief that lentils symbolize little coins, so eating them means we are forecasting our year with wealth and money. Pork symbolize luck and poultry means bad luck. (pork seeks for luck from the ground with its noise and claw, but poultry scratches underground)

Rich drink and food consumption

The consumption of sparkling wines and delicious meals will help us all year round, since those who are stumbling on the first day of the year will not surely have to worry about the other days of the year.
