Be careful what you do with all those egg shells. Sailors believe that when you break an egg you have to crush the ends of the egg too, or a witch will collect the shell, build a boat, and start a crazy storm out at sea. What?!! Well if you are going to break the eggs you might as well make this delicious dish.

You've probably heard of the tradition of two people pulling on a wishbone until it breaks, and the person with the larger piece gets to make a wish. But did you know that this belief started over two thousand years ago in Italy? They would carry a wishbone around and rub it for good luck. Then the Romans added the part of breaking it in half. Ready to roast a turkey? Recipe.

Most people know vampires don't like garlic, but it started as protection against the "evil eye". This was a Greek superstition that if you had a piece of garlic and someone gave you a bad look it wouldn't hurt you. I know it works in this recipe.
