New Year’s Eve dinner – good luck
New Year’s Eve dinners and the New Year’s Eve party as we know it today have a long history. With the calendar reform of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, the last day of the year was moved from December 24 to December 31. On this day in 355, Pope Silvester died – thus giving this day its name.
The farewell of the old year is celebrated more or less with or without fireworks. In any case, there are the traditional dishes and specialties. In this context, the food also has a meaning. For example, a scale from the carp eaten is said to work wonders in the wallet. Lentil soup brings financial luck in the new year.
