what is christmas related where you live? we have these cookiecakes shaped like people, some raspberry-ish soda, some brown-ish cookies called "pepperkake" and some more that I can't really remember in the cake departement. the dinner-ish stuff.. we have sheep-ribs that are first stored in something very salty, then it soaks in water to take away some of the salt, then it's steam-boiled on sticks of birchwood (pinekjøtt). we also have pork ribs that are made in the oven and some weird fish stuff that's soaked in lye or something until it becomes all wobbly (lutefisk).. it's not very good imo, but still... then there are some slightly spicy dinner-sausages... there's more, but I can't be bothered writing it all.. I also don't know it all, as it varies from region to region. |

people around here are all crazy for ptarmigans, for some strange reason. not that it is the normal christmas tradition to eat them here, i think that custom is only 30 years old or something. they don´t taste that good really. last christmas it was forbidden to shoot them so half the nation went crazy. i hope they ate something decent instead. i think that norway and iceland must have rather similar christmas customs, from what i can read from your description. |

oh shit, we also eat hard sauce - you british fuckers should know what im talking about its the number sweet jam of the fall |
||||||||
|

|
|
do you really like it? I think it tastes like a less salty pinnekjøtt, and less salty = bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
let's just say that I wouldn't eat it everyday, it's good but no pinnakjød... |

"berawecka" - it's some kind of fruit cake too i'm afraid. with dried fruits. it has an interesting taste but i'm not that fond of it... (just for the record, i tried a jujuba juice once in a korean restaurant, and it tasted very much like berawecka.) "bradala" - christmas biscuits. they come in many varieties and many shapes... you can have chocolate flavoured ones, cinnamon flavoured ones (usually those are star-shaped), with jam, plain ones, two-colored ones (plain/chocolate), almond, chocolate & ginger, etc... they're good! : ) "glühwein" or "vin chaud" (lit. "hot wine") - a hot and sweet drink, with wine and spices. it's basically the same thing as the swedish glögg. for children there is also hot orange juice which is kind of the same with orange juice instead of wine. hot chestnuts ("marrons chauds"). you can buy them at locomotive-shaped brown little mobile stands who are only here in autumn and winter. that the traditional christmas dessert is usually log-shaped, called a "bûche de noël" (christmas log) and swiss roll-like (my mother and grandmother make it filled with chestnut puree and covered with chocolate). maybe it's like that everywhere but since i'm not sure... here you go. in southern france (province), there are thirteen typical christmas desserts, served at the same time ( ! ). i don't know what they all are but you can find the information on the internet, i'm sure. |

my mama is danish and so we have this special holiday on dec. 23rd called little christmas eve...she makes these yummy fluffy pancake balls called abel skeever or something. we put powdered sugar on them and eat apple sauce on the side. at work, during the holidays we have 4 new milkshake specials! they are all muy delicioso: peppermint, cranberry, pumpkin, and egg nog. i like christmas sugar cookies, so long as they have tons of frosting. |

I've had pumpkin before and that was good, but the rest of those flavors sound pretty gross. :P |
