   他にも、カール（うカール→受かる）、落ちないリンゴ（台風の中落ちなかったリンゴ）などがありますよ。
   私が大学を受験した時は、母が豚カツ（勝つ）をお弁当に入れてくれました。
   あと、粘る、という意味で納豆や山芋、オクラも良く食べていました。

   Yukiyo San,

   Thank you for sharing! I think Japanese is much more elegant in this way than English. We simply eat foods that we like as a reward for doing well. Sometimes we will still eat foods that we like if we fail in order to feel better. We don’t really choose foods for good luck like you do in Japan. For this reason, we usually eat “reward” foods after we do something and not before. After reading you blog, I think I need to eat more 豚カツ! After all, it is a favorite Japanese food of mine.
   Ben
