Recipe Request: Lucky foods?

Hello, hello

A few years ago I had an idea for a gift for my mom. On New Years/other holidays she enjoys preparing/sharing foods that are considered lucky - i.e. black eyed peas, grapes at midnight, etc. I was surprised that no cookbook existed specifically toward compiling "lucky foods" from different cultures/cuisines either associated with specific holidays or otherwise. I've flirted with the idea of collecting a few recipes myself and printing them in a book for her, but have balked at the project until now. So - do any recipes come to mind? What foodstuffs bring you luck?

Thanks!
