This is a lament...I'm traveling this holiday,so,I'm gonna miss a lot of my traditional fare...she say's I can do it for New Years...but we're going to her folks...nothing wrong with ham or turkey...it's just not celebratory enough to me...what really say's Christmas to you on your menu?


Antipasto
Cheese
Flat bread
Olives,pickled artickokes and eggplant
Bacala
Shrimp Cocktail
Tomato,onion salad
Prosciutto and melon
Lomo adobado (Breaded pork)
Figs,dates,almonds
White bean and chorizo soup
Calamares fritos (Fried eel/squid)
Tira Misu

We do a big traditional Polish thing Christmas Eve. No meat, but plenty of goods.


Pierogis- both potato and saurkraut
Mashed potatoes
Saurkraut w/ beans
Cottage cheese
Prunes
Whatever fish concoction my cousin comes up with
Fried mushrooms and onions



probably my most favorite meal of the year. everything is home made, which makes it all the better

^i think its meant to be sort of a soup, but its sort of just a side the way we end up having it.


but basically you simmer the kraut with some sort of white/yellow bean for hours and that's about it. leave all the brine with the kraut, and it is pretty soupy. usually when we toss it on the plate though, its with a fork so the liquid gets left behind. served warm.

I go to the future Italian in-laws house for christmas eve and they do the traditional 9-13 non-meat dishes for that meal.

pretty much all of the non-meat dishes you mentioned above Moot are part of the spread.

plus some seafood pasta, a rapini dish, some sort of dish that uses this type of bean I haven,t never seen anywhere else, italian rice balls/patties with cheese, peas, sun dried tomatoes, or herbs (I pass on the ones with anchoves inside!), ridiculous huge fruit platter, ridiculous amounts of home-baked goods

bacala

then at my parents on Christmas day we have traditional fare with an Ukrainian twist:
turkey
home made cranberry sauce
stuffing
garlicy brussel sprouts
sweet potatoes
cabbage rolls with mushroom cream sauce
perogiessss
pickled beets, pickles, olives
and home made paska bread

fuck presents, just give me food at Christmas.



Next stop, home ownership! I’m just kidding, the middle class is dying. You’ll be renting forever.

I will be working the holiday this year, so Christmas will be December 27 for me. My mom and I usually go out for dinner on Christmas Eve...then she usually makes a lasagna for Christmas dinner. The thing I most look forward to this time of year is my mom's cookies. She makes about 20 different varieties and they only last a few days at my house!

we never have gravy with our turkey dinners, ever!

cream sauce:
saute mushrooms and onions in a pan until mushrooms cooked and onions go translucent
add in tons of cream and then add salt and pepper to taste.
sometimes you need to add some cornstarch mixed in cold water to thicken it, depends each time.

it is to die for poured over both cabbage rolls AND turkey!

I could drink my fiance's moms red sauce from a glass, it's that good. There is just something about any form of salted or dried fish that gives me the eebie jeebies. I dont even like shrimp flakes skattered over my food if I'm at a sushi joint.

I am all over all forms of meat jerky though, so Im not sure what's up with that. the texture I guess...

we have goose nowadays. it is delicious. with all the normal trimmings. red cabbage with beetroot and apple, stuffing, brussel sprouts with bacon and cream, PIGS IN BLANKETS <3, roast potatoes, more veg, cranberry sauce, yadda yadda yadda.

i am pretty fed up with turkey. it's just a big bastard chicken. my mother can't let it go though so she cooks a separate turkey on christmas eve and makes a pie in the days after christmas.

for boxing day we have some of the leftover goose wrapped in chinese pancakes.. it's amazing!



she's a pearl of a girl, i guess that's what you might say
