Cutlery has always received a lot of attention.

In the old days, the head of the family was given the largest spoon in the house. It was not allowed to stir food. It was believed that in this case there was a risk of a quarrel between the spouses.

There are other signs associated with spoons.

One of them is that you can't rattle dishes, this can lead to conflicts in the house. Therefore, you should try to remove cutlery from the table quietly, without unnecessary noise.

But that's not all. Ancestors also believed that you shouldn't "hang" a spoon on a plate, because it will bring misfortune to the house.

You can't use someone else's spoon. It will lead to illness.

Besides, you shouldn't rush to wash cutlery. After all, it is believed that a person needs to rest a little after eating. This rule also applies to cutlery.

After washing, they should not be dried. They should be hung or placed in such a way that the water drains off by itself.
