do you have any local Christmas feast traditions in your country or region?in Poland:>the main feast is on Christmas Eve>it's made up of 12 dishes>no meat, lots of fish, mushrooms, cabbage>Christmas kompot made from dried fruits
>>21798735That’s really interesting. For us Christmas dinner was always early afternoon on Christmas Day, and as basically the same foods again as Thanksgiving a month earlier.
>>21798735>no meat>lots of fishapparently another Christmas tradition in Poland is being a fuckin' dumbass
>>21799545that's because Christmas Eve was considered a day of fasting in which you should abstain from meat
>>21799542in Poland there is kind of a canon of specific Chrismas dishesfried carp is the most iconic one. back when fresh fish wasn't as available, people would aquire live carp, keep it in their bathtubs and kill it right before Christmas. this is the origin of the "bathtub fish" photo
>>21799545Shut up niggerfaggot who needs to wait a whole night for his presents LMAO.Most Central Europeans eat Carp or similar on Christmas eve, some with just potato salad, others more fancy with crab cocktails and other appetizers, maybe even a lobster.On Christmas day and Christmas day two, you get the heavies like beef roast and big birds, usually with the greater family while on Christmas eve it's only the core family maybe grandparents.
>>21799803no you don't lol we know poland is poor afenjoy your pickled cabbage LMAO
>>21799545you know very well what he meant
>>21798735>no meat>lots of fish
>>21799545Please understand, the man in white robes and a funny hat (no not that one) said fish aren't animals 1,000 years ago, they have no choice in the matter.
>>21798735In Texas:- Some kind smoked meat common, usually brisket or Turkey- Tamales are a classic. These are meat and sauce covered in masa dough, steamed in a corn husk. Dead ringer that your family has been in Texas for a while if you do this and aren't central American- My family always had guacamole every year, but I don't know how common that is. My wife I don't do this as adults.- Standard American Christmas fare like roast meats, green beans, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, etc all common as well. But I feel like these are getting less common since the Texan dishes are much better anyway?This year my wife and I did smoked tenderloin, mashed potatoes, roast carrots, and some duck tamales using a bird I shot a couple weeks ago.
>>21799887you probably eat from paper plates
>>21799961yeah this is what I think when people talk about 7 fishes as well. Fish is meat you fucking retards. If you have to find loopholes to cheat your way around your religion maybe you should find a different religion.
>>21800019that's not a loophole, people usually just mean "no other meat than fish" and just don't phrase it correctly, they do realize fishes are animals too and they are not made of plastic
>>21799980>duck tamales How did those turn out?
