What is the traditional New Year's Eve meal of twelve grapes called in Spanish?

The traditional Spanish New Year's Eve meal of twelve grapes is called las doce uvas de la suerte.

The Spanish phrase translates as “the twelve grapes of luck.” It names the custom in which celebrants eat one grape with each of the twelve midnight chimes. The ritual is intended to bring good fortune for the twelve months ahead.

The practice became strongly associated with Madrid's Puerta del Sol clock, whose chimes are broadcast across Spain. People often buy prepared containers of twelve peeled or small grapes so they can keep pace with the rapid sequence.

The phrase describes a timed New Year's ritual, not a dessert or a general grape dish. Its popularity is also connected with a reported surplus grape harvest in Spain in the early twentieth century, although the custom's exact development has several historical explanations.
