What's for dinner on Christmas & Boxing Day?
I'm celebrating Christmas with my mum this year and food for dinner is slowly coming together. We're going to have... entree; salmon carpaccio Main: lambs rack Hasselback potatoes green asparagus with slice of bacon around it Desert: a sorbet, I think closest is a sundae (?): ice-cream with lots of fruit and lot of whipped cream on top. I may get some strawberry sauce to add to it. Can't wait!! Hihi. Most Dutch people have raclette dinner. Lot of fun with a somewhat larger group. But because we'd done that for years on end I got fed up with it. Plus all the greasy stuff indoors with my crystals and paintings... What are you having? Please don't tell me everyone is having turkey? Hihi. |

In my country of origin, traditionally there should be 12 meatless dishes on Christmas Eve, just like there are 12 months in a year. We begin with a prayer and sharing the Christmas wafer. Then for a starter there are two or three kinds of herring, also fish in aspic. Then mushroom soup or red borscht with dumplings. Then fried fish with potatoes, cabbage rolls with buckwheat and mushrooms, Greek fish. Christmas Eve sauerkraut, fried dumplings stuffed with cabbage and mushrooms. For dessert there are several types of cakes (cheesecake, apple pie, poppy seed cake) and cookies (e.g. gingerbread). Traditionally, you have to try everything, but it can be really small portions. We sing Christmas carols and then open presents. We also go to mass at church which starts at midnight. This year my child and I visiting my brother and his family in England. There will definitely be herring in oil, red borscht with dumplings, fried fish, pierogi and cakes. |

I don't have a Christmas dinner. I'll probably have a pizza or something like that. Nothing wrong with that. One year we did fries & snacks with the kids. I'd decided I preferred spending time with my hubby & kids instead of being in the kitchen most of the day to prep things. It turned out to be one of the best Christmases we ever had! Merry Christmas, Cat! |
