Food folklore

[AllieDeCorbeau]

Hello,
I am wondering if anybody has any food folklore to share? Or any related to sewing, spinning wool, weaving, etc...
i'm doing research for a fiction book. It takes place in Britain before the start of World War II. I know there was some folklore about never giving your husband a perfectly knitted sweater lest he run of in it.

so I'm looking for this kind of stuff but around food. Even if you have one that you don't think was widespread, I would love to hear it.

thank you in advance

Anyway, I remembered another one! You shouldn’t cut an apple across the middle, only up and down as it’s evil/you’d summon the devil. (I’m not sure if I’ve explained that right, so only cut from the stalk down). Think this is because if you do cut through an apple core, the pips spaces (not sure what they are called!) make a 5 pointed star/pentagram.
