According to the saying, the year will be as the New Year is. On December 31st, it is customary to eat fish, game, and chicken so that they swim and run away with the year's problems, which the poultry also buries. The popping of fireworks is also a tradition linked to dispelling worries. On January 1st, folk tradition recommends the slowly and steadily moving pig, as it roots out luck with its snout. Pork fat signifies prosperity, which is why in other cultures it is eaten in the hope of wealth. Sausages have also become popular because, besides being quick to prepare, they are made from pork, as poultry is on the forbidden list at this time. Those who do not eat meat need not worry about remaining poor, as they have lentils, which are also a symbol of wealth. Not to mention cabbage, which is not only loved by them at this time: the Germans believe the long-cut strips symbolize long life, while Americans compare the green cabbage leaf to a rolled-up dollar. An indispensable part of New Year's Eve is the toast with a glass of champagne after midnight, which is also meant to symbolically start the year with luxury. We wish you a New Year rich in kifli and success, and a happy New Year!

If you're hosting a New Year's Eve house party, whip up some appetizer bites or just toss some salty snacks into a bowl. Dinner is still far off, and the night even more so, you mustn't let people go hungry. It's not a problem if you leave them on the table, at least there will be something to soak up the champagne.
