Soba noodles in Japan. Hoppin' John in the USA. Feast on these plus eight other New Year's food traditions around the world.
(CNN) — New Year's Day is meant for fresh starts. But maybe even more, it's meant for food.
As the new year arrives around the world, special cakes and breads abound, as do long noodles (representing long life), field peas (representing coins), herring (representing abundance) and pigs (representing good luck).
The particulars vary, but the general theme is the same: Enjoy food and drink to usher in a year of prosperity.
