Hot Kale, Cold Kale
In medieval times, the young women of Craven, North Yorkshire, would stand on something which they've never stood on before, holding a pot of cold kale and say: Hot kale or cold kale, I drink thee. If ever I marry a man, or a man marry me, I wish this night I may see him, tomorrow may him ken, in church, fair or market, above all other men.
Then she would drink from the kale nine times and go to bed backwards.
