Six Lucky Foods for the New Year and Where to Find Them - 1 views

  •  
    Among numerous New Year's traditions (kissing at midnight, binge drinking, swearing at occupied cabs around 4 a.m.) are those of the culinary persuasion. Here are six foods that, if consumed in celebration of the New Year, will bring good luck. Or so they say. I also think this would be very helpful because it can give us a chance to compare and contract American and chinese "lucky foods"

    Food offerings are a prayer or a wish and can be addressed to ancestors and other beings such as the Jade Emperor and The Kitchen God. The offering of food serves to bring ancestors and other beings in the other world closer to oneself.

    This is a really good site with abundant information! I think we can talk about in class to select the ones both Chinese and Americans would like to have. Remember, we don't want to present something so outrages to turn people off. We are the bridge among cultures.
