I'm in love with my own cranberry sauce! LOL

I make this yummy kielbasa and sauerkraut dish every year, and it's always a big hit!

I think a traditional meal is pretty cool... my family has never been very traditional with christmas though. This year we are all meeting and doing a breakfast. Last year I think we had tacos... the year before that some sort of stir fry.

My favourites are smoked rainbow trout, and my mum's piragi! (Latvian onion and bacon stuffed bread things)

Spinach dip, without a doubt. Without a freaking doubt, man. Simple and yummy~. You just need frozen spinach, thaw it out and mix it in with sour cream and Ranch flavoring and eat it via French bread torn up into pieces. Refreshing and filling.

Second favorite is our family's secret recipe of Chex Mix. I've been making it myself for over a decade now, maybe since middle school so like 15 years? It's also simple and super yummy. I make a lot and it usually doesn't last through the rest of the year, me and my dad eat so much of it. Yum. It takes a day to make all of it but totally worth it, and healthier than the brand stuff.

In Romania, you can't call it a Christmas if you don't serve cabbage rolls - filled with pork meat, and served wit polenta, sour cream and maybe a chili pepper. The cabbage must be sour, lol.

But I prefer the Russian Salad [we call it 'a la russe', though its name is Olivier's salad]. It can look like this:

Cheese Fondue

Cheesecake is good

I've already stated that christmas isn't traditional with my family

HOWEVER, with my husband and I on thanksgiving, we have had this cutlet product by gardein for about three years in a row, so that can be considered tradition!

It's delicious too O_O

I love Christmas pudding

Lmao! I really love panetonne xD. Aside from that, my brain is an empty husk at the moment. Gah. Christmas dinner tho Q_Q. <3

My grandma makes the best vanilla fudge and shortbread. I don't know how she does it, but both of them are the best gosh darn things in the world!

Chess pie.

My absolute favorite is eggnog.

Chocolate!

Um.. all of it? I'm very food orientated!

Glazed ham and brown and serve rolls ... also like stuffing i make lil sammiches out of it lol

I am Italian so I definetly love Lasagna and Panettone and Torrone yum!

my family is super russian so we always make blini with caviar for christmas eve!!!

Post pork with whisky-apple jelly

Recipie for jelly: Ingredients: Six pounds of cooking apples Granulated sugar (quantity depends on amount of juice extracted) Water Whisky (quantity depends on personal taste)

Method After washing the apples and removing any over-ripe brown elements, quarter them and just cover in a large preserving pan. Boil the apples until they are soft (but not pulpy). Scald a jelly bag (layers of cheesecloth), suspend it over a bowl and pour in the fruit and liquid. Allow to drip overnight. Don't be tempted to squeeze the bag as this will produce a cloudy jelly.

Allow one pound of sugar for every pint of juice (2 cups of sugar for ever 2½ cups of liquid). Put both the juice into a pan and stir in the sugar over a moderate heat until all the sugar dissolves. Then, stirring continuously, bring to the boil, and boil rapidly for about ten minutes. Remove any scum which forms. You can check to see if the jelly will set by dropping a little on a cold plate. Once the setting point has been reached, remove from the heat and allow it to rest/cool for a few minutes. Add about a tablespoon of blended whisky (vary the amount according to taste). Then pour the jelly into warm, clean jars, cover, label and store. It is best not to use the jelly for at least three months.
