Just curious, does anyone on here has a traditional dish to serve on Christmas day? For thanksgiving, my family's pretty traditional, turkey, stuffing and the whole 9 yard, but not christmas though.

Since I just bought a house a few months ago, I was thinking of getting my family to spend christmas day at my house, and I'm just looking for some suggestions.

 

Christmas cookies

 

Since some of my wife's family is from the Caribbean, her grandmother makes a dish called Garlic Pork for lunch every Christmas (it's kind of like really garlicky carnitas). It's delicious. I look forward to it every year.

 

typical x-mas dinner

 

ok, what's a typical x-mas dinner, D

 

We go to my aunt/uncles place every xmas eve, where they have 9 or 13 or 163 or something different fish plates and this weird beet soup with raviolis in it. <FOBs>

 

I'm thinking of roast beef and a couple of side items. Anyone got a good roast beef recipe to share?

 

Beet soup? Sounds interesting, know the recipe for it?

 

Nope. I couldn't even tell you what it tastes like.

 

Every year my Mom makes the same stuff, dont have much family so its not a fancy meal or anything

Baked Ham
Potatoes
Lasagna (I was pickey when I was younger)
Salad
Homemake cbunt cake with cream chese in it (sounds weird but its delicious)
Homemade bon bons

I feel like Im forgetting something.....

 

Seriously?

 

Yea, I feel bad for my Mom. I try to help her sometimes but my hands get so cold

 

<--- Trying to figure out if the "b" or the "c" was the typo.

 

typical polish dinner, no meat on xmas eve

fish dish
mushroom soup (with $150/lb polish mushrooms )
homemade pierogi's
stuffed cabbage
pickled herring
bunch of cakes

only thing i eat is the pierogi's

xmas day is basically thanksgiving part deux

 

I typed cake then deleted to type bunt cake....guess I forgot the "c"

 

My family always does a ham for xmas dinner, this year we're doin a standing rib roast instead though

 

LOL, I didn't even notice that. Typical wstevens, the pink eared bunny.

 

 

We always do homemade lasagna, Italian sausage baked in the oven, garlic bread, salad and lots of red wine.

 

Barszcz z uszkami

 

Yeah, seafood is a traditional xmas eve thing...

Ham and/or Turkey is for xmas day...

Me and my brother had homemade "chinese" last year... Boneless pork spareribs, rice, lo mein.... the stove died just as things were done cooking to What a nice xmas present.... Had to buy myself a stove...

 

Wouldnt a typical Polish Xmas dinner be on the 26th

 

We got the same problem... first year having xmas.

Think we're going with beef tenderloin with some sauce. Should be good, and relatively easy.

 

Prime Rib


This year not sure what we are doing since i'm going out to her house for xmas

 

Going to the in-laws for christmas. Sorry Scott,
No offense, Caliadria...

 

Turkey for Christmas also.

^^ I did a regular Google search and all the hits were in jibberish. When first seeing it, I wasn't sure if it was a European or Middle Eastern (persian) dish. From the .pl in all the web addresses, I'm guessing Polish?

We're doing X-Mas dinner tomorrow at my place - making Prime Rib or Roast Beef, Chicken Enchiladas, maybe spaghetti and I'm sure there will be some Filipino dishes - pancit, crispy pork (in a Jews house :shakehead) - and maybe a few other things.

We'll probably have our actual X-Mas day dinner at a nice buffet while we're in Vegas (3 nights at the Rio for $29 )

Might also make a pilgramage to Zion...








National Park, that is.

 

I eat dog.....
