2. Eat Green for Easter in Germany
Where: Germany
Cost: $10 to $20 to prepare the traditional soup
Eating green is a long-standing custom in Germany on the Thursday before Easter. Sorry, but for those who practice Christianity, Green Thursday, also called Gruendonnerstag, is a day without meat.

Gruendonnerstag is traditionally marked by the consumption of a salad and “Green Thursday Soup.”If there’s any solace in that, the soup—which is made of dandelion, nettle, and parsley—is much healthier than Peeps and chocolate eggs.
