The following story was written by Heinen's partner Elaine T. Cicora.

What if we told you that health, wealth and happiness could all be yours in 2023, depending on your New Year's menu?

That's the premise behind "lucky" foods - an assortment of good things to eat (and a few to drink!) that promise good fortune in the coming year. Drawn from diverse cultures and traditions, here are 13 items said to bring good luck when consumed on January 1.

1. Pork

In German and Eastern European traditions, eating pork on New Year's Day is said to ensure progress. The notion was inspired by pigs' industrious barnyard behavior: They keep their snouts to the ground and root ever forward.

2. Sauerkraut

Scoop up some sauerkraut with that pork, and wait for the greenbacks to roll in. Sauerkraut is made from cabbage, right? Cabbage is green. Money is green, too. Ergo, if you want more money, eat sauerkraut on New Year's Day.
Check out this Recipe for Sausage and Sauerkraut Balls.
3. Grapes

A Spanish alternative to the Times Square ball drop, "the twelve grapes of luck" is a New Year's Eve tradition thought to bring a year's worth of prosperity and good fortune. Just pop one grape in your mouth with each stroke of the clock at midnight.

4. Long Noodles

Lush and lanky, long noodles mean good luck in many Asian cultures. Their length symbolizes longevity, so don't let them break until they're safely in your mouth.

5. Fish

For many seafaring cultures, fish is an especially auspicious New Year's food. Their shiny scales look like coins - meaning money; and they're always swimming forward -meaning progress. (Do be sure to avoid catfish, though: Nobody wants to be a bottom feeder!)
Check out this Recipe Phyllo-Wrapped Everything Bagel Salmon.
6. Greens

Oh, the color of cold, hard cash! No wonder a big mess of collards (or other leafy greens) will bring prosperity, according to Southern food traditions. (Bonus: A bunch left hanging by the front door will ward off evil spirits!)

7. Pomegranates

Want a fresh start in the New Year? Eat a pomegranate. In countries like Turkey and Greece, the vibrant red fruit has long been a token of good luck, its color and abundant seeds representing life, fertility and renewal. (While we have yet to receive official confirmation of this, we suspect a pomegranate martini could be pretty lucky, too!)

8. Black-Eyed Peas

This dried legume is frequently found on Southern and African-American tables, often in close proximity to those collard greens. Because black-eyed peas expand while cooking, tradition holds that eating them will bring abundance.

9. Root Vegetables

According to India's Ayurvedic traditions, a plant's roots are its source of stability and balance. Therefore, if you wish to head into the new year feeling calm and grounded, add potatoes, carrots, beets or other root veggies to your menu on New Year's Day.
Check out this Recipe for Creamy Root Vegetable Bake.
10. Cornbread

As richly colored as a golden nugget, cornbread is another good-luck staple on Southern tables, prized for its alleged link to wealth.

11. Cake

We always knew dessert was good luck, but now it's official! Cakes, doughnuts and other similarly ring-shaped baked goods are almost universally thought to represent the fullness of life and the annual process of "coming full circle." Many cultures bake a coin inside for an additional dollop of New Year's good fortune.
Check out this Recipe for Peppermint Brownies.
12. Nuts

Little packets of new life, nuts are favored for gifting on New Year's Day in many cultures, where they are thought to represent a fresh start.

13. Champagne

There are as many reasons to greet the New Year with champagne as there are stars in the sky. Thanks to its long association with French nobility, champagne is almost synonymous with indulgence and wealth. The pop of the cork is like a tiny burst of fireworks (perfect for fending off evil spirits), and when the festive bubbles tickle your nose, it's impossible not to smile.
Check out this Recipe for a Champagne Cranberry Fizz Cocktail.
We raise our glass to all of you! Here's to a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

A red envelope or red packet ( simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: ) is a gift of money given during holidays or for special occasions such as weddings, graduations, and birthdays. It originated in China before spreading across parts of Southeast Asia and other countries with sizable ethnic Chinese populations.

In the mid-2010s, a digital equivalent to the practice emerged within messaging apps with mobile wallet systems localized for the Chinese New Year, particularity WeChat.

Red envelopes containing cash, known as hongbao in Mandarin and laisee in Cantonese, are gifts presented at social and family gatherings such as weddings or holidays such as Chinese New Year; they are also gifted to guests as a gesture of hospitality. The red color of the envelope symbolizes good luck and wards off evil spirits. In Chinese, the red packet is also called "money warding off old age" (壓歲錢; yāsuì qián) for Chinese New Year.

The amount of money contained in the envelope usually ends with an even digit, following Chinese beliefs; odd-numbered money gifts are traditionally associated with funerals. An exception exists for the number nine, as the pronunciation of nine (Chinese: ; pinyin: ) is homophonous to the word long (; ), and is the largest single digit. In some regions of China and among the Chinese diaspora, odd numbers are favored for weddings because they are difficult to divide. One widespread tradition is that money should not be given in fours, or the number four should not appear in the amount, such as in 40, 400, and 444, as the pronunciation of the word four (; ) is similar to the word death (; ). When giving money, new bills are favored over old bills. It is common to see long bank queues before Chinese New Year holding people waiting to acquire new bills.

At wedding banquets, the amount offered is usually intended to cover the cost of the attendees as well as signify goodwill to the newlyweds. The amounts given are often recorded in ceremonial ledgers for the new couple to keep.

In southern China, red envelopes are typically given by the married to the unmarried during Chinese New Year, mostly to children. In northern and southern China, red envelopes are typically given by the elders to those under 25 (30 in most of the three northeastern provinces), regardless of marital status.[citation needed ] The money is usually in the form of notes to make it difficult to judge the amount before opening. In Malaysia it is common to add a coin to the notes, particularly in hongbao given to children, signifying even more luck.

It is traditional to avoid opening the envelopes in front of the relatives out of courtesy. However, to receive an envelope, the youth kowtow to thank their elders.

During Chinese New Year supervisors or business owners) give envelopes to employees.

In Suzhou, children keep the red envelope in their bedroom after receiving it. They believe that putting the red envelope under their bed can protect the children. This action relates to the Chinese . Those would not be used until the end of Chinese New Year. They also receive fruit or cake during the celebration.

It is traditional to give an actor a red packet when he or she is to play a dead character, or pose for a picture for an obituary or a grave stone.

Red packets are also used to deliver payment for favorable service to lion dance performers, religious practitioners, teachers, and doctors.

Red packets as a form of bribery in China's film industry, were revealed in 2014's Sony hack.

Virtual red envelopes are available on mobile payment platforms. During the Chinese New Year holiday in 2014, the messaging app WeChat introduced the ability to distribute virtual red envelopes of money to contacts and groups via its WeChat Pay platform. The launch included an on-air promotion during the CCTV New Year's Gala - China's most-watched television special - where viewers could win red envelopes as prizes.

WeChat Pay adoption increased following the launch, and over 32 billion virtual envelopes were sent over the Chinese New Year holiday in 2016 (a tenfold increase over 2015). The feature's popularity spawned imitations from other vendors; a "red envelope war" emerged between WeChat owner Tencent and its historic rival, Alibaba Group, who added a similar function to its competing messaging service and held similar promotions. Analysts estimated that over 100 billion digital red envelopes would be sent over the New Year holiday in 2017. One study reported that this popularization of virtual red packets comes from their contagious feature-users who receive red packets feel obligated to follow.

The history of the red packet dates to the Han dynasty. People created a type of coin to ward off evil spirits, "yasheng qian" (Chinese: ; pinyin: yāshèng qián ), which was inscribed with auspicious words, such as "May you live a long and successful life". It was believed to protect people from sickness and death.

In the Tang dynasty, the Chinese New Year was seen as the beginning of spring, and in addition to congratulations, elders gave money to children to ward off evil spirits.

After the Song and Yuan dynasties, the custom of giving money in the Spring Festival evolved into the custom of giving children lucky money. The elderly would thread coins with a red string.

The Ming and Qing dynasties featured two kinds of lucky money. One was made of red string and coins, sometimes placed at the foot of the bed in the shape of a dragon. The other was a colorful pouch filled with coins.

In Qing dynasty, the name "yāsuì qián" () emerged. The book Qīng Jiā Lù () recorded that "elders give children coins threaded together by a red string, the money is called yasui qian."

From the Republic of China (1912-1949) era, it evolved into 100 coins wrapped in red paper, meaning "May you live a hundred years!". Due to the lack of holes in modern-day coins, red envelopes became more prevalent. Later, people adopted banknotes instead of coins.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the custom of the elders giving the younger generation money continued.

Other similar traditions also exist in other countries in Asia.

In Thailand, Myanmar (Burma), and Cambodia, the Chinese diaspora and immigrants introduced the practice of red envelopes.

In Cambodia, red envelopes are called ang pav or tae ea ("give ang pav"). Ang pav are delivered with best wishes to younger generations. Ang pav is an important gift as a symbol of good luck from the elders. Ang pav can be presented on the day of Chinese New Year or Saen Chen, when relatives gather. The gift is kept as a worship item in or under the pillowcase, or somewhere else, especially near the bed of young while they are sleeping. Ang pav can be either money or a cheque, and more or less according to the donors.

Ang pav are not given to someone in family who has a career, while such a person has to gift their parents and/or their younger children or siblings.

At weddings, the amount offered is scaled to cover the cost of the attendees as well as help the newlyweds.

Tết greetings shown in the Vietnamese alphabet, chữ Hán and chữ Nôm

Red envelopes are a traditional part of Vietnamese culture. They are considered to be lucky money and are typically given to children during Vietnamese New Year. They are generally given by elders and adults, where a greeting or offering health and longevity is exchanged. Common greetings include (𤯩𥹰𤾓歲), (), () and (飭劸洡𤁠), wishing health and prosperity. The typical name for lucky money is lì xì () or, less commonly, (𢜠歲).

In South Korea, a monetary gift is given to children by their relatives during the New Year period. Bags known as bokjumeoni (복주머니) are used instead of red envelopes.

Monetary gifts called otoshidama () are given to children during the New Year period. White or decorated envelopes are used instead of red, with the name of the receiver usually written on the front. A similar practice, shūgi-bukuro, is observed for Japanese weddings, but the envelope is folded rather than sealed, and decorated with an elaborate bow, called .

In the Philippines, Chinese Filipinos (known locally as "Filipino-Chinese") exchange red envelopes (termed ang pao) during the Lunar New Year or "Chinese New Year". Red envelopes have gained acceptance in the broader Philippine society. Filipinos with no Chinese heritage appropriated the custom for occasions such as birthdays and in giving monetary during Christmas and New Year. Due to the phonetics of most Philippine languages, red envelopes are nowadays more well-known as ampaw.

Malay Muslims in Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, and Singapore adopted the Chinese custom as part of their Eid al-Fitr ( Malay: Hari Raya Aidilfitri) celebrations, Instead of red packets, other colored envelopes are used, most commonly green. Customarily a family gives (usually small) amounts of money in green envelopes, and may send them to friends and family unable to visit. Green is used for its traditional association with Islam. The adaptation of the red envelope is based on the Muslim custom of , or voluntary charity. While present in the Qur'an, sadaqah is less formally established than the sometimes similar practice of , and in many cultures this takes a form closer to gift-giving and generosity among friends than charity. I.e. no attempt is made to give more to guests "in need", nor is it a religious obligation. Among the Sundanese people, a boy who had been recently circumcised is given monetary gifts known as panyecep or uang sunatan.

The tradition of ang pao was adopted by local Indian Hindu populations of Singapore and Malaysia for Deepavali. They are known as Deepavali ang pow (in Malaysia), purple ang pow or simply ang pow (in Singapore). Yellow colored envelopes for Deepavali were give in the past.[self-published source ]
