Hey guys !

I know here's many food lovers so what 'bout Christmas food topic ?

What do you guys eat ?
Is there a tradition ?
And do you cook yourselves or do you just focus on eating

I just prepared ham with mustard/bread crumbs topping. (It took about over 6 hours in oven)
It's very traditional Christmas food in Finland.
Also we have smoked salmon, potato & carrot casseroles, peas, root salad, bunch of cheeses and home made beer.

Tadaa:

It is fillled with chopped up almonds, but there is a single one which is whole, the person who gets it wins a prize, often its a marcipan pig

Bacon.....

Well, not something we get on Christmas , but something we should. But duck roast with sugar/caramelized potatoes and same dessert as Ulrik, then we get 'Gammeldags hvidkål' which translates to 'Old days cabbage' (?), no idea what it could be called in English. And normal white potatoes, brown sauce - and more, can't think of it all at the momento

Sadly no bacon for me , at the moment I am thinking of getting some nachos and figure out what TV show I should start watching

It's funny that our neighbours eat almost the same but more poultry and lamb.

We have rice porridge made from whole milk and butter and there's also one hidden almond.

We have a whole culinary ruckus around the SWINE stuff, check it out:

Lebar



Caltabos



Sarmale



Toba



and of course...

Cozonac - my grandma's special



Needless to say... all is washed in a bath of red wine

Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 24 2012, 11:38 AM

In English, I would translate that as ' a mistake '



That stuff all looks incredibly vulgar.. but good !!

Posted by: Jouve Dec 24 2012, 12:19 PM

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Dec 26 2012, 10:01 AM

Oh, how could I forget? Yesterday we had 4 types of different sausages Made out of pork of course

Posted by: Ben Higgins Dec 26 2012, 06:34 PM

They look SOOOO good !!

Posted by: Qenzoz Dec 26 2012, 06:37 PM

Hahaha! I think you'd actually like it, just a bit of brown sauce on top of it and you're ready to go, and of course you can always add bacon - Not something people do, but they should , but what's in important, is that you only get it from a good ol' South Danish family, since other places they add weird things and it is not even close to the real deal

Posted by: jessi Dec 26 2012, 08:13 PM

I'm getting scared!!! But...
...the Cozonac looks GREAT!

We had silesian sausages with potatoes and SAUERKRAUT like every year.
Next day: Rouladen with red cabbage, beansalad,brussels sprouts, bacon dumplings and potatoes.
And a lot of wine, christmasbeer and original swedish Vodka!

Rouladen
