Here’s what to do and especially be careful not to do when sitting at the table. Many of the culinary activities around the table “can” influence your life with more or less luck and bad luck.
If you still want your mother-in-law to like you, you have to eat the bread corner. Just be careful not to cut or break both corners at the same time, it’s a sign of bad luck. On the other hand, it is believed that if you enter someone’s house while the hosts are sitting at the table with many dishes in front of them, there is a damn mother-in-law in that family who is still in power. It is auspicious to receive a soup that is too salty, because it means that the cook is in love.
When it happens that two women pour their tea from the same teapot, one will surely get pregnant soon. It is important to remember that it is not good to put sugar in the cup before pouring tea, because problems will follow. To avoid quarrels, when you accidentally spilled salt or pepper, gather as soon as it has fallen and throw it over your shoulder. Some people think it’s a good idea to do this every time you get your hands on salt or pepper. And, in case you’ve ever borrowed salt, it’s not good to return it.
In order not to be unlucky, you should always eat fish starting from head to tail. Be very careful when you eat bread spread with something. If it falls with the oiled side down, it’s a sign of bad luck. It is said that it is good to enter the New Year by eating fish, garlic, peas or lentils and pork, but never poultry. Be careful not to eat straight from the pot, if you want it not to rain at your wedding, to take an ugly man and not to argue with your husband. It is said that whoever leaves food on the plate or sits on the corner of the table remains unmarried.
It is also not recommended to pour drink into glasses that have not been completely emptied. But if you spill a little by mistake, that’s a good sign. If you inadvertently scatter a box of matches on the floor, it’s a sign of luck. And if that happens to a girl, she’ll get married soon. Be careful not to cross a spoon and fork on the table, because a happy event will take place followed by big problems. If you don’t want to quarrel in the house, never put a knife with the blade up. Do not give or receive knives as a gift or drop them on the floor, because they bring bad luck.
