In southern parts of India , there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends. Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January 1st. Food is prepared before the festival so people dont need to cook during the festival. On New Years Day, different dishes called Osechi ryori are served- each dish is a wish for the New Year. In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the Chinese lunar month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year: People in China prepare their food very early to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Years time might “cut” luck, foods with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like “surplus(剩余)”.
