The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
HUNGARIAN CUSTOM
ALWAYS SERVE ROAST PORK ON NEW YEAR'S DAY; NEVER SERVE
FOWL. THE REASON: THE PIG WILL DIG GOOD LUCK INTO THE
GROUND BUT FOWL WILL MAKE GOOD LUCK FLY AWAY.
Submitter comment:
PORK IS STILL SERVED IN MY PARENT'S HOME ON NEW YEAR'S
DAY, BUT THIS HAS NOW BECOME MORE OF A FAMILY TRADITION
THAN A SUPERSTITION.
