Now why do we have pork as the first meal of the new year? What’s the old world logic? Why should you avoid chicken?

I was always told that we have pork because the pig’s snout points forward into the future for good luck. While a chicken scratches backwards into the past.

Now you all have this useless knowledge as well, cheers to a Happy New Year!

I was just told today that Filipinos won't eat any chicken on New Years because it would make their money fly away. Heard it from a couple Palauans, though, so might be inaccurate.
