Holidays rapidly approaching. Himself with great excitement watching the friction of horseradish, the first Christmas of the contract (mainly fish and birds), and discussing the one who baked yeast of the family and who is fragile. Like every year, will be tasty and traditionally, according to the promise of the previous feature article, however, there is the culinary what is eaten on holidays in Europe.
You could of course look at how the situation is all over the world, but first we do not have much time, and secondly it is the European tradition of spending holidays has affected the way they are handling in the colonies, just after the third turn on your TV, open a Web portal or a newspaper, repeatedly to find out that we are Europeans. So how it looks at our ? Let's start from the Christmas post. In addition to force in Lithuania. It is hardly surprising. The Lithuanians connects us several hundred years of common history, and the similarities extend holidays and other traditions, such as sharing the wafer, the table appears twelve traditional dishes, and meals are based on fish, mushrooms, and legumes. Similarly, fasting tradition boasts a traditionally Catholic Ireland. As befits the great sea island, on the table, there is salmon (accompanied by a traditional bread baked on the Sodium) and other fish. It is indeed far from typical example - if you are anywhere in handling customs of Christmas can be found pre-post them, we can be sure that we are dealing with a country whose history had to be associated with Catholicism, at least when it comes to Central and Western Europe. Looks a bit different Orthodox tradition, extending the post to forty days, and assigns it a particularly sharp dimension, notions of fasting in the Orthodox Churches. At the same time it is worth noting that the current orthodoxy in the post Christmas-day was, and what I know is sometimes referred to, which also applies in the homes of Catholics. Just the first meal was Christmas Eve. End of post was connected with the increased demand for what we had could not eat, indicating in particular sweets. It was - sweets, including traditional or other food containing poppy and honey. In many cultures it is the sweets becoming a hallmark of Christmas, as in the tradition of the Orthodox Church, which under the old rules only dish was a sort of Christmas or porridge with fruit, known in tradition as, the word or grits. It should be noted that today and the way to spend Christmas holidays, passed from the religious to the civilization and cultural, that is somehow separate from religion. Therefore, we believe that in many homes the traditional Orthodox Christmas Eve will include many common practices for all of us such as under the tablecloth, or wafer. Also in the kitchen comes to the blending of tradition, so in many homes, not feeling connection with Catholic tradition, the tables will twelve meals, and many other points of Christmas. But let us return to the confectionery. It is noteworthy that in some sweet dishes are becoming a major determinant of national holidays, such as in the case of Slovakia, which are based on the menu Christmas cake, fruit or nuts, or as in the case of Austria, where the traditional Christmas dish is the classic cake with milk, honey, flour and butter, and gingerbread, almonds and traditional roasted chestnuts in Galicia, known as. Generally is to be rich, or sweets with additives are not available on every day.
Sweets are also associated with fortune, which become applicable for the next year. Incidentally, please remember that the first person rises from the table was a housewife, or in places where man is the head of the family - owner of the house. When someone first get up from the table (even in order to use the toilet), this phenomenon is a bad omen, which could bring disaster to the next year. But there are also other orders, as in England, where according to tradition, Christmas pudding was supposed to be but once engaged by all family members regardless of their age. Infants mingled with the help of parents. And that's the beauty of Christmas, that regardless of the country, they are connected with family and closest circle of friends. Christmas is a separate element of the legends, such as associated with the traditional English dish, which in ancient times was a boar's head. According to legend, one of the students at Oxford was to be attacked by a wild boar during the Christmas holidays. Animal suffocated a volume of Aristotle, who happens to have with him (echoes, once those students have read it!). But as any student (according to tradition, hunger), he wanted to recover a valuable book, and therefore cut off the head of wild boar, which has become for hundreds of years a traditional English Christmas meal. To mention the pan-European traditions, can be said about geese - a classic holiday giving for the former England and Alsatian cuisine. About you will ever write a separate article, because even though the bird is not cheap or easy to cook, but his taste trumps most of the poultry. In the traditional English Christmas was a stuffed goose. Currently, the traditional goose has been supplanted by a stuffed turkey, stuffing is usually edible chestnuts, but you can also try an interesting fillings responsible for geese, that is, for example, baked with parsley orange peel (the truth that interesting?), Potatoes and Brussels sprouts. It all depends on who cooks, and just as in the case of the Christmas pudding, each cook has his own rules, often held in families for generations. And please look at the Christmas Eve supper in their family homes, does this rule does not apply everywhere, and whether it's Christmas Eve and Christmas are not the best in the implementation of our grandmothers and I? The answer to this question each of us can ask ourselves the twenty-fourth of December and public holidays. Irrespective of the religion professed by us and nurtured habits, holidays are a special time. Also. In his columns urge to nurture the tradition, but they take a change somewhere. Such has, and in previous centuries. Suffice to say that the traditional English Christmas pudding, sweet cakes out of the sauce of brandy, in the Victorian era was a heavy meat dish with spices and wine. So we try. Who knows? Maybe our holiday provision will be a way to revolutionize the holiday cooking and for a short time, say, um ... two hundred years, will become a binding principle.
