Food has long been related to various superstitious practices, ranging from warding off the undead (garlic, but you already knew that) to throwing rice at weddings in the belief that it'll bring prosperity to the bride and groom.
Take a look at these weird superstitions from across the globe that involve food.
Apples
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, or so goes the old proverb (which isn't necessarily untrue).
Apples are also the subject of superstition: Jewish tradition holds that on the holiday of Rosh Hashanah (New Year) one should dip a slice of apple in honey, which is said to bring about a sweet year to come.
In addition, back in the day it was believed that if you cut open an apple and counted the seeds, the number would predict how many children you would have.
