Christmas Dinner

[katmai]

Sounds good except for the black beans jaba.

[Eddie Teach]

Can I convert to Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican somehow?

You could just go to a Mexican restaurant...

My Christmas meal. Two hotdogs with mustard, each on a slice of ham inside a slice of raisin bread. A really big apple and a cup of orange juice. Aren't I talented!

I don't know if my aunt will make something special, but our big Christmas eve dinner menu, for the 10 of us (My two grandmothers, my uncles, my two cousins from my father's side of the family, my parents, my brother and me) that gather for the occasion, is usually consisting in:

- Appetizers: Home made seafood paté, Iberian cold cuts, cheese and as much seafood as they can cram in the table, mostly scampi.
- Main dish of roasted lamb and/or stuffed veal.
- Turrón as far as the eye can see.

Wine for the dinner and champagne for toasting afterwards. Christmas day lunch will be a similar combination.

Polvo à galega ?
Rabanadas a.k.a French toast/Pain perdu
Bûche (it's France after all)
Port, Bordeaux and Champagne of course

Okay we get it, you really are English with making such a disgusting sounding meal.

I draw your attention to my list of traditional English Christmas dinner.  It's delish.

Pfft You're Irish living in England.

[Eddie Teach]

I thought traditional Irish cuisine consisted of: boiled potatoes.

Only in a good year

I am going to shit pig for a week. And pecans.

Today I had:

- Roast fowl with almond stuffing, served in apples and oranges,
- Roast boar

[Barrister]

Pfft, not any worse than making stuffing or a turkey.

Then you make some seriously intricate turkey and stuffing. 

Last time I made tamales, it took several hours. Granted, I made 10 dozen, but still...

In the final analysis my wife spent 5 hours making seventeen dozen pyrogies.  We all told her she was crazy, since we're now already trying to give them away.  They freeze pretty well, but still - that's over 200 pyrogies.

"Pyrogie" is already plural.

Saying "pyrogies" is like saying "childrens".

You've pointed that out to me before, but I keep telling you that the common usage in Canada is "pyrogies".  You would be correct if I were speaking in Ukrainian or Polish, but to us Ukrainian-Canadians that is how we say it.

[Barrister]

When I was a kid growing up we had them in Philly but spelled it "pierogis".

That's Polish spelling (I suspect BB's spelling is Ukrainian) but the same mistake - "pierogi" is already plural (the singular is "pierog")

As I believe I've mentioned before - the few Ukrainian food words I know I have no idea how to spell.  I've only ever heard them.
