Is there any food you should have on your birthday?

It is great and very interesting. I don't know about that but really excited about noodles long life reason. I am bengali and we eat 'payesh'. It is a sweet food and don't know why we eat it. Thank you.

You are right. The noodles are important for our birthday since it can mean long life. Sometimes the steamed buns are important especially for the birthday of the elders. Today the birthday is not so important for me. I don't want it to remind me that I grow one year old:) I want to eat whatever I like in my birthday. I love China

I think you should have your favorite food, whatever it is, on your birthday. A good home cooked meal is a great way to spend the day. If your favorite is from a restaurant and you have the money, then why not go out and celebrate!

Oh no, I'm happy enough for being remembered lol, there are people outhere for example with a husband that don't even remember that date, that is very sad. But should be Vegan though, would never hurt them in anyother 364 days, not even in my birthday. Did you know it's possible to make cakes and cupcakes without milk or eggs? Me neither! I wasn't eating them for a while, now every weekend or so I can have a sweet party, hehehe.

We people don't have such belief or things. We just eat noodles on any day for fun. We people in kerala used to prepare payasam on birth days and used to distribute to other family members. This is just to share the happines of the special day.

I have not had a birthday yet without a birthday cake. I'm not sure if that is strictly a family thing or not but it is very popular here in the US.

In my country we usually have to two different kinds of cake when we celebrate a birthday. One of those cakes is called "brunsviger" and the other cake is called "lagkage". The brunsviger cake is usually decorated with candy, and it is very delicious. If a child is celebrating his or her birthday the brunsviger cake sometimes look like a girl or a boy with a head, legs and arms etc. If an adult celebrates his or her birthday the cake doesn't look like a person and sometimes we skip the candy, too. Lagage is a cake that consists of several layers and it is often decorated with whipped cream, fruits or other kinds of things.

In our country we have dry noodles- 'pansit'- which is also for long life. It is kind of the main food on every birthday. I prefer spaghetti though, since they are similar..but much more delicious.

Well i think i do really have the same with you.lol,another birthday cake would really help.My mom told me that i must eat an egg and roll it around before i ate.That's really funny custom but quite popular in my place.

For birthdays, there always has to be a cake and ice cream.

Birthday here on our country usually includes spaghetti and pancit. Also fried chicken, cake and ice cream. There are also some other dishes specially if you have money to prepare more. So it depends on how much you will spend on it or how much you can spend.

Traditionally here in my country when one of our family members birthday we served different kinds of noodles for long life and something sweet for the better future, I dont know if its true but we still following it. But during my birthday I always cooked penne with red sauce, garlic bread and served with very cold coke.
