Description Christmas are not longer that fun than they were 10 years ago. there's no snow in Poland, it's very rainy, looks like a never ending November. I'm working in other town so I'm not participating in Christmas preparations in my home which means mostly cleaning the house and quarells (noone in my home likes to clean up so there's always lot of nerves, lot of fights).
I'm working really hard, I have short deadlines for some project, so I'll spend my Christmas time working. yeah.

I don't feel that "oh, christmas is comming!". probably because I'm overworked and the weather really sucks. it's heavy raining since 2 days. long time since the last "white christmas". I remember that when I was a kid there were always lot of snow at December. and now? must be the greenhouse effect.
this year I didn't even got time for making handmade christmas gifts for my friends. I was like "ohshit. it's 20th December already?! fuck, WHEN that happend?!" eh...

but there's one thing that always makes me happy about Christmas.
FOOD.
I'm litterally waiting the whole year for the Chrismas Eve dinner. Christmas Eve dinner in Poland is very traditional - we always have barszcz (that thing in the bowl at the picture - it's...hm...beetroot juice soup? I love it!) and carp. and my very special thing, that my grandma bake only once a year, is kulebiak - it's a long, roll cake filled with mushrooms and cabbage. SO YUMMY! I'm waiting the whole year for this.

and what do you eat for Christmas? what's your traditional food and what's your favourite one?

I see that most of you have a meat at your christmas table. that's sth new because the traditional dinner in Poland is meat-free (exept fishes) - meat at the Chrismas Eve was phohibited by church's law (yes, Poland is very catholic country) but it think it isn't any longer... I don't eat meat anyway so yea, lot of meat-free food for me~! the very best dinner

no matter if you're celebrating Christmas of not - I wish all of you good food at your tables and peace in your hearts.

Is barszcz kind of like borscht? I'm not sure if there are different ways to spell that. I love both anyway!

I'm Jewish and don't celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah is celebrated for a eight days and usually begins before Christmas, the date is different every year. It's a very sentimental holiday for us Jews and the food is pretty wonderful too.

VenomousBook38 [2016-01-07 22:28:10 +0000 UTC]

well i'm from the UK so for us meat is the main part of  all our chrismas dinners, we have things like: turkey, goose, duck, gammon, partridge (well at least i think so on that one, i've never had it so i'm not sure, i thing so) with lots of veg, gravy and mustard, then whatever's left over we have throughout the week till it's gone then for new years we get some more and the same thing happens it's a good meal and after we play with all the new things we get for example this year i got a new tablet now i can play minecraft as much as i want so i hope you had a good christmas and happy new year and that whatever the whether you keep warm oh and with recent event over here i do hope you don't have any floods

In Louisiana, our normal meals at Christmas time (or at least my family's!) for us our meal consists of fried chicken, gumbo, jambalya (gosh that's spelled wrong) and other stuff I don't remember...
Happy Christmas to all! (From Louisiana

Well, we usually go to my grandparents' for Christmas, and my grandma is very Scandinavian (mostly Norwegian, Swedish), so Swedish meatballs, lefse, krumkake, glorified rice, all that yummy stuff... always on the menu. Don't forget the pickled herring!

Yeah I'm Catholic.

I used to live in England when I was a baby but I moved to the U.S.A.

For my Christmas dinner we usually have a turkey/ham with sweet potato casserole, some sort of veggie..... Cranberry sauce and all that stuff...

We have pie and cookies and stuff for desert.

In Virginia we don't get a ton of snow which is sad cause I love the snow!!!

otomen-nick [2015-08-27 22:04:18 +0000 UTC]

basicly a cagage roll with extra mushroom.   at our place we eat Borscht(beats poridge)  Orlove, caviar, coulibiac and dressed herring.  for desert we have Kissel, Lymonnyk and Pirog. we also drink Kvass, Medovhuka and sbiten. kids usualy prefer to eat borscht and drink sbiten and vuhka since its so sweet.

if we count the less traditional food at our table then we also serve. turkey, mashed potatoes and meet ball in gravy. our family is a big mix of canadian/ indo-european poeple. so russian food fits our all around tastes.

I live in Canada, so the winters here are very brutal and cold. But us Canadians can get through it. 
Usually at Christmas we have a turkey or a meatloaf with all the family, and we all chip in to have a great big dinner with all these random foods. For treats we usually have Pumpkin pie and homemade themed Christmas decorated sugar cookies.

We don't really have one, but my father makes us Potjiekos and Afval (offal) on christmas eve. And for my mom, who can't eat red meat, he makes salmon, soaked in orange sauce and wrapped in foil over the coals. And there is always ALWAYS a side dish of either Miele meal or mashed potatoes with cooked onions and tomatoes.

I really like the afval. Mostly the sheep/cow tongue, lung, stomach and eye. The eye's taste and texture is kinda growing on me.

Potjiekos is like a mixed up stew in a broth cooked in a black pot with three legs over a fire. Long time to make, but it sure is yummy.

Afval is the organs of an animal, usually sheep or cow. This included the lung, brain, eyes, tongue... Basically any edible part of the animal is eaten. (Back when my mom could still eat red meat she hated this dish.)

Sounds delicious.  My mom's side of the family has a wigilia celebration the weekend before christmas, 13 courses of various vegetables and fish including pierogi and pickled beets.  I should suggest that kulebiak, that sounds delicious.
