Happy holidays! I hope the Bare Mettle team is enjoying a well earned break from Sui Generis so that they return refreshed and better than ever

Here on the west coast of the USA we usually eat turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes mixed with brown sugar and toasted marshmallows on top, stuffing, green bean casserole and various other side dishes. Usually there are several types of pie for dessert (one of my favorites is pecan pie!).

Happy holidays to all!
In the Netherlands, we don't celebrate Christmas in the modern way that much. We have a holiday called Sinterklaas just before Christmas (Based on St. Nicholas, it's what Santa Claus derived from) which is our commercial holiday, and Christmas is still very much a Christian holiday, so it doesn't go far beyond christmas trees. Nonetheless, we're doing a family dinner where everyone chimes in and makes something different! I'm going to make the alcoholic beverages, which says a lot about me as a cook AND a person

Celebrated yesterday as well. Ate lots of delicious traditional Norwegian christmas food. I serriously don't know the names in English (most of them anyways). Ribs, Medisterkake, fat and small sausages, potatoes, lamb stuff, some stew stuff and more (Also Akkevitt).
Merry Christmas to you all, even if this comes a bit late!

Oh, I'm pretty sure we live in the same countryWe celebrate he 24th as well. I sent that reply 7pm the 24th
Even though I dare bet that I live a good ~7500km (maybe more, and I could be wrong) away, Time zones are still of no matter... I was so sad we forgot to prepare reindeer heart... Not the classics of the christmas gourmet but it's soo good eatin'.with yesterday I meant the 24th if I was unclear, and with "today" I meant the 25th since most peeps (I think) celebrate the 25th.. (well it's soon midnight here but It ain't tomorrow until I've slept.
) @Scarecrow: "Medisterkake" your analogy to meatballs?

Well, it's like meatballs yeah. We have meatballs and medisterkake though, but they are essentially the same. Different type of meat involved i supposeOh, I'm pretty sure we live in the same country

ah, well didn't really intend toNvm, though you directed "...you who celebrate today..." at me
@Scarecrow : interesting. I belive your dish to be made out of minced pork, instead of minced beef. (though my meat balls was 50% beef and 50% Moose meat, a bit of stray from the original recepy
) Not that I belive meatballs to be a swedish exclusive, I did however thought it was a swedish "exclusive" on the christmas table, even through out the rest of Scandinavia...
