In the past, there was a belief that was passed down between generations, which said that it was not good to leave food scraps on the plate, as hungry spirits came to feed on the scraps during the night.

My mother always said that, because she learned from my grandmother. This does not mean that the spirits are actually able to eat the food, but many of them when they feel hungry, believe that they can still act like the living and approach crumbs.
These are called “hungry spirits” or “butchers”. So we heard strange noises from the kitchen. The legend also says that we should not put too many plates, cutlery and glasses on the table, as this can be an “invitation” for butchers.

The real danger is when they realize that there is no way to eat food and discover that they can fuck the ass of those who are reading it.
