- Myths and Superstitions on Serving Bread
* When serving the bread, be sure it is sat on the table in an upright position, if not this could bring misfortune. Slicing of the bread is also quite important, it should always be cut from the top edge and never from both ends.
* Now here’s a strange one… A woman that places a round loaf on the table upside down means that she also spends much time on her back as a prostitute.
* Breaking of a loaf or cake while cutting is a very bad omen, it could bring anything from arguments amongst family members to death of a family member.
* Discovering a hollow spot inside the loaf may mean different things among different cultures.
Some believe it’s a sign of pregnancy for the woman that has baked the bread. Which is in short a sign of life.
While others see it as a sign of death, meaning the hollow spot is a coffin or grave.
We, in The Netherlands, are just disappointed when we get a slice of bread with a hole, because now less chocolate sprinkles ('hagelslag') will fit on the bread ...
