In Germany, people drop molten lead into cold water and try to tell the future from the shape it makes. A heart or ring shape means a wedding, a ship a journey, and a pig plenty of food in the year ahead. People also leave a bit of every food eaten on New Year´s Eve on their plate until after midnight as a way of ensuring a well-stocked larder. Carp is often included, as it is thought to bring wealth.
