- Every home should have a supply of salt. In this case, there will be abundance in the family.
- Salt should not be lent. The borrower can send misfortune to the person giving the loan, annoy him and take away his luck. So salt takes revenge on its owner, who gave it to his neighbor.
- To this day, people believe that bread should not be pierced with a fork. In this process, two types of energy collide.Bread is a source of light energy; a fork, like other metals, has dark energy. It is unlikely that anything good will come out of such a collision for a person.

Cutlery
Everyone knows that if a knife falls on the floor, a man will come to visit, and if a fork, a queen will come. But how to get rid of uninvited guests? Hit the floor 3 times with the fallen object. An unexpected guest is unlikely to appear.
You can't eat from a knife. This is taught from childhood by parents, who know for sure that after such a meal a person becomes angry for no reason.
Do not give as a gift to anyone and do not take a knife as a gift. This will definitely lead to hostility.
There are many more kitchen signs and superstitions. Some people don’t believe in them, others have more than once been convinced of the correctness of the predictions. To many, signs seem funny and absurd. But they live for many centuries, which means they are time-tested and have a reasonable basis.
