Traditional North Italy Christmas Menu:

Smoked Salmon
Tortellini with beef broth
Big plate of assorted boiled meat: cotechino (kind of cooked salami), beef, maybe beef tail, stuffed chicken, cured beef tongue;
Sides of mashed potatoes, spinach, thistles gratin, lentils
Panettone, traditional Christmas cake

:mmm:

Damn, I miss proper Italian cooking.  :(

Turkey.  All traditional and whatnot.

I'm not sure, my mother-in-law always puts out both ham and turkey and a lot of the traditional American Christmas side dishes, but she also always has a nice prime rib as well and then usually one other meat that tends to vary year to year. We've had fish as the fourth meat but also goose, duck etc as well.

Glazed ham, green beans and deep-fried macaroni are the usual fare.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I adopt the contrarian position when it comes to holiday meals.  For Xmas, I'll have traditional Chinese dim sum.  For Chinese new year, I'll go western.  It is cheaper that way.

Normally, we'd have a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, but this year we've kind of decided to go with roast beef instead.  Despite the lack of turkey, there will be a pumpkin pie, dang it.

Haven't decided what I want to make yet, either Mole or try out some homemade Chili.

Are you cooking all that yourself, Marb? Or are you going to have catered?

Christmas Eve will be the traditional kielbasa

Uhm. That's not a Polish tradition (since Poles do not eat meat on Christmas Eve) so why use a Polish term for the dish? :P
