Hello Friend,

New Years day menus are different around the world and even within the United States. Traditional dishes are prepared to symbolize good fortune such as fertility, wealth, prosperity, progress, good health and long life. In Spain and other grape growing countries, a fairly new tradition was started in the nineteen hundreds of eating twelve grapes at midnight. In most countries the traditions of eating certain foods were established long before the tradition of the grape growing countries.
