Top Five Food Supersitions

Superstitions successfully define food beyond nutrients and calories.The five most fascinating superstitions around food according to me are:-

1) Lettuce
On the Chinese New Year eating lettuce is considered to bring good fortune. So, people who thought dieting was a curse might just have to think again!!



2) Noodles
In sections of Asia eating long noodle strands without cutting them is believed to ensure a long life. Guess it’s time to bid farewell to table manners!




3)Rice
Throwing rice at a wedding is meant to bring prosperity, wealth and happiness to the couple. Considering the amount of money that is spent on weddings now a days, it would help if people threw cash at the couple to ensure their prosperity and happiness!




4) Egg Shells
This is one of my favourites-It is believed that if you do not crush the ends of an egg shell after eating it, a witch would come and collect all the discarded shells and use them to make a boat that would sail into the sea and raise storms. Whoever said Tsunami is caused because of underwater earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, forgot to mention the EGG SHELLS.




5)Garlic
In Greece people carry a piece of garlic in their pocket to avoid the Evil Eye. So, I guess in Greece women and men don’t rank body odour too high on their list of dating priorities.
