It's considered good luck to eat lentil soup on New Year's Day.
Does anyone else do this? It's been a while since I had that.
Italians also eat pork sausage over lentils.
A very good friend of the family who passed this year also used
to give us small sealed bags of lentils to keep in your pocket for
"good luck" too. You were supposed to throw out last year's bag
as that was last year's luck. He was Italian.
It's also a Hungarian custom to eat them, as I've found on the web.
