The people of Lithgow Province, in Central Bavaria, believe that animal dander, if sprinkled over a meal directly before consumption, brings good luck. In the past, it was not unheard of for regional public houses to offer a small jar containing pet dander to patrons as a condiment, although the practice is less common today, largely because the scales and feathers spread disease.
