Fiddlesticks and poppycock

I've outdone myself this time. I haven't stepped into a single Chinese restaurant so far this CNY. I have never liked the rip-off prices of auspiciously-named festive food. And I like the quality of the food even less.

This is the best time to dish out over-priced, untasty food because everyone is willing to spend on auspiciously-named food thinking it will bring them good luck and prosperity.

But just think about it. If eating auspiciously-named food is the way to riches, there would be no world hunger, no hungry children. Does it even make sense?
