People around the world eat special traditional foods for different festivals. These foods also stand for good luck and health for the new year.
An English Christmas dinner has turkey. It also has pies and plum puddings(李子布丁) in it. In Germany, people celebrate Christmas with the food of bread, cookies and cakes like Christmas trees. In France, the Christmas dessert (甜品) is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern India, a three - day festival called Pongal takes place in mid - January. People share rice and a sweet rice dish with family and friends.
Japan celebrates the New Year with a seven - day festival. It starts from January 1st. Families get food ready before the festival so they don't cook during the holiday. On New Year's Day, they eat Osechi Ryori — many different dishes. Each dish carries a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese lunar month(农历). Each place has its special food for the New Year. People in China make their food a few days early. They think using knives during the New Year might “cutting good luck”. Foods with lucky names are popular, like fish. The word for Fish sounds like “yu” in Chinese, so eating fish means “Wishing  you  abundance  year  after  year”.
