What are traditional christmas dishes from your country?
In Slovakia we buy carp, let in live in the bathtub and then fry them for christmas dinner.
fried carp with potato salad
So people in Slovakia traditionally show up to Christmas dinner not having showered?
I suppose the smell is probably masked by the food.

>>7196278
I'm actually more surprised they have bathtubs in Slovakia
Do they have to feed them before hand, or do they just live in there for like a day or two?
I wonder if peeps ever try to get a jump on things and end up having to share a flat with some fish for half a month. That's pretty funny, and I guess carp makes a good as a dinner as anything else would.
>>7196243
Carp is black people tier in the US
>>7196243
We do that in Austria as well. Altough its not THE christmas dinner but one of the more frequent options.

Carp is a big family of fish
Carp are a domesticated livestock and have been for thousands of years because they eat grain like crazy, much like other livestock
There's nothing wrong with carp raised for food.
Most of the carp introduced in the US, not native btw, are the shit varieties that were good at cleaning up water with lots of plants in it, but they escaped and are fucking over our ecosystems
>>7196286
the fish or your relatives?
>>7196335
Yeah, black people are generally known to have a more sophisticated taste than Americans.
Here in Finland, we have lye fish. Lye fucking fish. I wish we didn't, but in this neck of the woods, one traditionally eats what one can catch. This winter I in particular am having a fair deal of reindeer and venison. The venison particularily warms my heart, as the person who shot it was smashed in the face by the rifle scope. He was unaccustomed to 9.3 mauser, apparently. His nose split in half. We hadn't laughed that much in ages. That'll teach him to shoot with iron sights.
Well, at least lye fish is not as bland as karelian hot pot, which we still have for christmas. I don't know why we still have it for any occasion. I mean, we hardly have any karelia either, after the ruskies stole most of it. Fuckers. Still haven't given it back. And the islands too. By God, I hate Russians. I would sooner see nuclear annihilation of all mankind as a christmas present, rather than let humanity live while suffering the Russian's existence.
Merry christmas to everyone. Even the russians.
We don't have traditional Christmas food in Chile. A lot of people make turkey, but that's just to mimic Americans.
>>7196378
>Yeah, black people are generally known to have a more sophisticated taste than Americans.
This really isn't true when you compare income
Black people don't eat any different than other americans in their income brackets
>>7196378
9.3 mauser is phenomenal at anything other than some African dangerous game. Wish it had more love in the US, but the .30 caliber meme is strong in the states

Southern cuisine i.e. creole/cajun is heavily influenced by black people cuisine, and that's the only style of cuisine native to the USA apart from food designed to be served in styrofoam containers.

>>7196366
I eat Christmas dinner at my mums house, and she cant make bread sauce for shit. Her recipe goes something like add white bread, diced onion and milk to a bowl, microwave, mush together with a fork. Done. Thats why it doesnt make it on to my plate.
She actually cant cook very well at all. There will be a grand total of zero seasoning used during the cooking process because she "doesnt like salt" and "pepper is too spicy".
>>7196400
no.
>>7196422
>barbecue
America did not invent the concept of shoving some meat on a fire.
>tex-mex
That's Mexican cuisine appropriated and watered-down for an American audience.
>southern
Assuming that means things like Hoppin' John then that's black people cuisine.
>>7196243
In Norway there are two largely served dishes. Pork rib-steak bing the most widely served dish.
A contender popular along the western coast is Pinnekjott (stick meat) which is basically salted and smoked sheep or mutton ribs made in a process using wooden sticks and steaming the meat.
In all honesty, this sheep dish has probably got much longer tradition than the pork rib-dish, which probably got popular after the war. This is due to the fact you have to cook it in an oven, which many people didnt have before the war. So they relied on dishes made in pot and kettles before this.
And then there are other dishes like cooked cod or lutefisk (dried cod cured with lye and reydrated). Many households will serve it during christmas, but only a few percent use it on Cristmas eve. However, these dishes would probably traditionally be served before the war.
Christmas porridge was also a classic among the working people of the last century. Milk and rice porridge with a stick of butter, cinnamon and sugar. This survived too, but not as a main course.
>>7196335
I'm black and the only fresh water fish I eat is Tilapia.
>>7196243
Irishfag here.
Turkey basically the spread of Thanksgiving dinner in the states.
Barmbrack- it's a sweet bread that you bake treasures into, like toys, there's a tradition of baking a ring into it and the person who finds the ring gets good luck. I don't eat it or make it...but it's a tradition.
Poundies, basically a potato pancake.
Colcannon or champ...mashed potatoes with kale in it, bacon and a very large knot of butter. Supposed to make a hole in the mound of potatoes and fill it entirely with melted butter, or a knot large enough to fill the well/hole.
Drink, always a favourite here. Loads of alcohol.
>>7196453
That pork rib dish is literally stolen from the Spanish
>>7196447
>America did not invent the concept of shoving some meat on a fire.
You are ignorant of the history of it, it's not just smoking meat. It's smoking certain cuts of meat slowly, with indirect heat for hours. It's rubbing the meat with spices that are native to this hemisphere, and making sauces to eat them with/baste them with made from ingredients native to this hemisphere as well.
>That's Mexican cuisine appropriated and watered-down for an American audience.
No, it's basically the cuisine of northern mexico as well. Mexico had a lot of german and austrian immigrants to the northern states, and states like New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas had a lot of spanish immigrants. Things like wheat tortillas, heavier use of cheese that have inspiration from central european groups, and other tex-mex creations make it a distinct cuisine.
Just because its watered down in restaurants, doesn't mean that the heart of the cuisine made by families with older ties to the southwest don't have a legitimate cuisine.
Idiot.
>Assuming that means things like Hoppin' John then that's black people cuisine.
>implying black people are the only contributors to southern cuisine
Southern cuisine belongs to everyone in the south, and anyone saying otherwise is either willfully ignorant or willfully racist. It's a combination of traditional african, native american, and european ingredients with the same combination of cooking methods. Every group brought something useful to the beautiful invention of Southern cuisine.
Cajun cuisine was mostly a french immigrant thing. Creole is a bit more multi-ethnic in its origin.
>>7196461
yes, could be. I dont know, but I will make it a point to try whatever dish you think its in spanish.
I probably wont get the white sausages, apples, brown cream sauce and stuff to it, but I would give it a whirl.
That crispy rind crackling is divine btw.
>>7196478
Says the thief
Why don't you just buy the fish the day before christmas
why do you choose to have them living in your toilet
>>7196478
I know right, I didnt even claim it was a norwegian invention. I just said it's the most common dish. :)
>>7196396
I think it to be a satisfying caliber. The variety I, or we, shoot is from whitetail deer to moose. Boar do not really make it this far north, and bear kill licenses are too tightly held to be preparing for. Besides, they are polite enough to stay off my yard.
The strength of the 9.3mm is that even if it may cost some meat, it does not leave strugglers even with inexperienced shooters. The impact is sufficient.
>>7196392
Compare income? Are you trying to buy yourself out of the comparison?
You could light your grill with thousand dollar bills and I'd still trust a black man to bbq over you.
You make me sick to my stomach. It is no wonder Americans are right below Russians on the list of peoples to boil into soap before the world is worthwhile.
Merry christmas to you too, though.

>You could light your grill with thousand dollar bills and I'd still trust a black man to bbq over you.
Fucking racist piece of shit, I don't base my trust of how someone can BBQ based on their skin. You judge it based off of how they describe how they barbecue. You can tell how good it's going to be after just a few minutes.
>>7196492
You've never been around poor black people, they eat like shit just like poor white americans
>>7196487
I think its for 2 reasons.
1. Fear that they will be sold out, or just not wanting to stand in line for too long.
2. I think it cleans the fish a bit if they starve if for a couple of days. At least that is what one guy told me, but might be bullshit.
>>7196503
I've been around poor black people. They sometimes move here. I've been around poor white people too, as they flee here for free dental care too.
Both are generally decent, well-eating people, because only degenerates like you seem to be staying home. Here's hopin' for that global nuclear war.
>>7196516
>I think it cleans the fish a bit if they starve if for a couple of days. At least that is what one guy told me, but might be bullshit.
This, they swim in nasty water and putting them in your bathtub for a few days cleans them out
>>7196462
>You are ignorant of the history of it
Apparently you are, since the word barbecue was appropriated from the Arawaks who are not native to North America.
>taking mexican food and slapping a fuckload of american cheese product on it means we invented a distinct cuisine
You're really reaching there.
The rest is just you admitting that southern cuisine is a combination of the French deportees from Acadia combined with black people food.
It seems you are unwilling to accept that the only style of cuisine native to the USA largely has its roots in black people. Perhaps it is you who is the one being wilfully racist, anon.
>>7196522
What kind of strange projection is this?
All i said is they don't eat any differently, and you have to be a complete faggot about it?
Norway. Food is usually salty and fat. The big guns are out on Christmas eve.
Pinnekjott - literal translation "stick meat". It's dried, salted and smoked lambribs. Some boil it (plebs), some slowly steam it and some do a combination of steaming and having it in the oven. Served with mashed rutabaga, potatoes and sausages or medister sausages/cakes. Served with beer and take a few shots of aquavit when finished. The superior choice.
Pork ribs. Boring as fuck, too much fat and low quality meath desu. Shit tier for plebs.
Some people make cod. A bit boring, imo, but "christmasy", I guess.
Lutefisk - otherwise known as "smelly Norwegian/Swedish fish" made from stockfish and lye. It's usually served at "julebord", a Norwegian and Swedish pre-christmas party tradition. Basically a group of people, i.e people working together or a group of friends get together, eat lutefisk and get really, really drunk. Foreigners working here are shocked when they participate for the first time.
Turkey is somewhat normal.
>>7196526
>What kind of strange projection is this?
the kind that happens when you're an alcoholic mongol aka a Finn
>>7196524
"hurr durr this word isn't from the continent, they musthave invented it!"
Most barbecue is pork and cattle, animals not native to north america. It's a modern invention from many sources.
>making mexican food and slapping a fuckload of american cheese product on it means we invented a distinct cuisine
taco bell isn't real, original tex-mex cuisine but I get your point, tex-mex is largely synonymous with garbage these days
Wheat tortillas, northern mexican white cheeses, lots of beef and pork, hatch chilies in god damn everything etc is tex mex. There's a good No Reservations or whatever on it.
>It seems you are unwilling to accept that the only style of cuisine native to the USA largely has its roots in black people.
Now you are putting words in my mouth, I was simply saying the one anon is forgetting the other foods here. I'm not racist against black people and unwilling to acknowledge them for the contributions.

Ouch that's rough. I'm thankful that everyone in my family cooks well and chips in at Xmas to make things go smoothly.
My nan is like that though, overcooks everything and doesn't use pepper at all. Nixs the salt "for her heart" but then chugs back two bottles of wine and slams mince pies with her beetus. Glad I only have to deal with her shit once every 4 years or so

No to what? I never said pork wasn't served in the viking ages. I just stated that as most people lacked an oven in the general houseolds before the second world war, it was more common for people to cook food in kettles and pans. As such pork ribs wasn't really a common christmas dish.

That's awesome. You can tell how healthy they are and won't have to leave the house on the holiday to get freshly killed fish.
Eggnog is a must for my house. Dinner usually depends on what's in the house that year, but eggnog is consumed at an alarming rate with more and more rum as every glass is filled.
We use ice cream as "ice cubes" for the booze-nog too. I've accepted my future diabetes.
>>7196892
I love that stuff. Can't wait to eat it soon

Pretty much.
My old man is a decent cook though. And hes been working for a butcher over christmas. With his habbit of aquiring things for free from wherever he works, I should eat well when I visit him

a roasted lamb leg is generally the go to in NZ, but I've seen whole turkeys becoming more popular, it's basically the ONLY time you can purchase them in a supermarket, and they're always frozen.
roast tatoes and/or kumara, veges, pavlova for dessert.

Carp are bottom feeders and their flesh tastes like mud.
By all means, try it when you get the chance. But don't despair feeling like you're missing out on something special like a kneckbeard yearning for his first consensual sexual experience without duct tape and chlorofoam.

Depends on the quality of the water they were living in. It's also why OP was talking about letting them live in the bathtub for a couple of days: Keeping them in clean, regularly changed water gets rid of the muddy taste.
