MOMENT OF LIFE CUSTOM
WHEN A PERSON MOVES INTO A NEW HOUSE, SOMEONE SHOULD GIVE HIM
SALT, VINEGAR, AND BREAD. THIS IS TO AVOID EVER BEING HUNGRY

Submitter comment:
MY GRANDMOTHER DID THIS FOR MY MOTHER WHEN WE MOVED INTO
OUR NEW HOUSE, ALTHOUGH THE REASONS FOR THESE PARTICULAR
ITEMS WERE NOT KNOWN.
