Panettone and pandoro.
I prefer pandoro.

Swedes got buttflustered because they thought they look like swastikas kek
Panettone, turkey, some special nuts, sparkling wine (also for new years).

tastes like melted vanilla ice cream only thicker
Based turron
Pic related, 3 most famous types: Soft, hard and chocolate
Tamales: like some sort of steamed dough of corn, consistency of bread I guess. Inside the dough there can be a varied type of edibles, I mostly eat the ones with meat or full corn tamale but there are other types.
Menudo: A "soup", it has mostly the belly of cow chopped in bits, maybe some bones with meat/fat too, it is made with cilantro, chili and onions. Very tasty, some people like to put much lemon on it but I personally think it ruins it, since the lemon juice reacts with the fat and just a tiny drop makes the whole menudo taste like lemonade. Eaten with some toasted bread with butter and chiltepines.
Turkey: A tradition we stole from the yankees. I love turkey sandwich.
>>51016288
that looks great
are those raisins in there?
>>51015341
Beer and lots of schnapps.

But Aachen is close to Belgium, right.
If I was a terrorist from Belgium planning an attack, I would avoid France for now and go to Aachen, which is the closest cross-border destination for such thing.
>>51016408
sounds delicious desu
what do Poles eat at Christmas?
One of our traditional Christmas foods is rice porridge. It's from the time when rice was very rare in Finland, you'd maybe get a handful of it a year. So people used it for special occasions and made foods that a large amount of people could enjoy, like porridge
>>51016107

>eating at a jewish fast food frenchise on Christmas
thats called celebrating Xmas my dear goyim
We used to eat pizza when I still lived at home
>>51016462
Yup. Ham, raisins, and olives.
basically just tons of pork
christmas isn't that big of a deal here since the commie times. all the festiveness, gift giving, santa claus, christmas tree stuff etc. was transferred to the new year and christmass remained nothing more than a big religious holiday, even less important than easter
it's even a practice to remove the christmas tree and throw it out of the house by the 7th of january, when we celebrate christmas (we call it the new year tree btw)
>>51016179
There are hundreds of chrismas markets in germany. Every fucking town and city has one.
If there is an attack its probatly in one of the main cities or largest markets.
>>51016706
very nice. i'm going to show the pics to my mom and she'll hopefully bake it sometime
>>51016615
Like mostly everywhere I think. We still do some traditions like chanting and relive the Joseph and Maria asking for shelter, we gather the neighbors and go house to house singing and all that.
But do you put a christmas tree in your house and visit your family to give presents?
>>51016785
Nice. The key is to put more fillings than appear to be necessary at first. Very often when the dough is laid out it will look like you have it filled, but when you roll it up and bake it it will turn out to be very little. So make sure to really load it up.
Christmas dinner here is like Thanksgiving food but with ham instead of turkey.
We also do gingerbread cookies, eggnog, and hot chocolate. My parents do glühwein because we lived in Germany for 4 years, but I never got a taste for it.
>>51016861
>Like mostly everywhere I think
Not in northern europe at least
> do you put a christmas tree in your house and visit your family to give presents?
Yes, and many people still go to christmas church to sing songs, 99% of homes are filled with christmas decorations (not in the same "look at me neighbours" way that american tv shows portray it, but old religious/seasonal symbols and things that are often passed down from parents) etc.
Ayaca, ham, bolo di pruim and any alcoholic drink you can find.
>>51017022
>My parents do glühwein because we lived in Germany for 4 years, but I never got a taste for it.
only do it when you are outside and its cold.
Sitting on the inside and drinking it is meh.
>>51017083
I don't remember ever seeing that flag before desu
>>51017047
it's super comfy to start seeing Christmas trees around towns set up by the city
I remember last year there was construction work going on and the set up a Christmas tree on top of a huge crane
>>51016288

>>51017376
WE HAD FIRST SNOW TODAY
what a coincidence you asked that right now, it's super comfy and there's always this sort of magical feeling and happiness during first snow
Also snow prevents sound from travelling so far so when it's snowy and it's snowing heavily it feels like you're inside in a closed, quiet space and you can't even see that far because of the snowing. It's super comfy and if it's not windy it's not even cold. I fucking love snow and winter
>>51017280
those aren't kokosmakronen (Coconut macaroons)
>>51015341
That shit is nasty and what my family only had, along with the bûche.
It must be an acquired taste though as i genuinely like it now. Still nasty though.
>>51016015
Same if it is also heated.
>No idea what mulling is, sounds dirty.
>>51017570
Glögi is always drank when hot, it tastes like shit if its cold
>>51017570
Yeah, it's heated up
The English name is weird, it doesn't really taste like wine imo. Also we put raisins and almonds in it
>>51016343
>>51016297
It seems Finns also have respect for Krampus.
Good choice.
>Tfw Knecht Ruprecht is the less scarier evrsion.

>>51017515
ma pole päris kindel, see on ilmselt nõukogude ajal tekkinud traditsioon
>taste good tho
>>51017376
Comfy as fuck, it's obviously cold so you gotta wear comfy clothes, the snow cracks when you walk on it, when the snow is falling, the surrounding sound is kinda muffled, people would rather watch their step than other people, as a socialy akward neet it pleases me.
>>51017606
>>51017611
We call it Glühwein, means "glowing wine°.
Implies heat and warmth through spices as well as temperature.
>>51017376
It's great the first snowstorm but gets kind of shit after when everything turns to mud or it keeps snowing a lot (we had a blizzard earlier this year that dropped 3 feet/one meter of snow)
Two of my favorite snow feels
>walking to a friend/relative's house while it's snowing and hearing the crunch underneath my feet, and the change of air from being outside in the cold and entering a warm house
>driving home from work on an empty backroad during a snowstorm and stopping at a crossing, listening to Serph on my car stereo as the train passes by in the bluish tinted woods
>>51017376
Its cold.
Walking for a while in deep snow is very exhausting.
You can shape it (depends on the kind of snow).
It makes driving a hassle.
It makes driving motorbikes impossible (inb4 spikes)
It makes everything very comfy. (landscapes)
>>51017626
Joulupukki (Yule goat) is at least a thousand year old thing m8 (probably a lot older), though krampus might have evolved from the same thing
>>51017535
Nice.
>>51015341
>entire holiday season is one big eggnog and rum induced haze
I hardly drink during the rest of the year but as soon as the first shipment of eggnog hits the shelves at my store the next month is a write off
comfy vin chaud
>>51017676
Also hides all the dirt if its fresh and/or continually snowing.
But I don't want to ride my bike through the snow to the gym....
>>51017667
I eat those round the year, cost like 1,7e/kg
>>51017740
I wanted to imply that there are similarities.
>>51017376
snow is only fun when you're young, snowball fights, building snow forts, ice skating, sleds.
Then when your grow up it only makes movement harder and makes your boots wet.
>>51017826
Well wikipedia says Krampus is probably a pre-christian thing so it would make sense if it evolved from the yule traditions of the germanicsc
>>51016179
grow a pair and go
>>51017779
>Also hides all the dirt if its fresh and/or continually snowing.
So much this, it looks like a whitened world.
Snow covering everything is kinda like an happy visual genocide.
>>51015681
I avoid both
To me they just taste of mass production
>>51015341
Eggnog is pretty much just for the holidays. Peppermint you can find all year, but it's technically holiday food. We have a tradition in my house of getting lots of Sabroso and making shit with that. Rum balls at least for me are holiday food.
>>51017795
for some strange reason whenever holiday season gets close, people start eating clementines like their life depends on it. hard to explain why but i also do it, there are days where a single estonian can eat quite a few kilograms of these. i think it might have to do with clementines traditionally ripening near christmas wherever the hell they're grown
>>51017830
>that feel of panic when you get up in the morning and there is the first snow and tis a shitload and you have to drive to the next town for work
To be honest I don't give a fuck about christmas. The weather is always shit, the food is shit and buying gifts that no one really wants is an unnecessary hassle.
>>51017739
>>51017703
I hope to get these feelings one day, it snows not far from here, about 4hrs driving but I don't know anyone there and the road is shit and so high in the mountains so it makes me afraid (I have already go there by bus because work but it was summer), although now as an adult I fear I might not enjoy it much.
>>51017872
In general people kept traditions and renamed them into something christian-looking if they were able to get away with it.
I saw a video about how ..finns? threw corpses into the sea.
I might have been trolled, but is this a funeral tradition?
If so, respect.

Dont go there without winter tires.
I warned you.
>>51017960
Well I'm sure sailors of all nations threw corpses into the sea, but otherwise our burial traditions have been pretty similar to our neighbours for a long time (less burning more burying, though). Haven't heard of people going to the sea to throw corpses in there, but it doesn't mean some tribe didn't do it and I just haven't read about it.

Nothing special, if it's the orthodox christmas, epy 7th January one. For true believers it's the last day of 40-days-long abstinence from meat, wine and butter, so the stuff is rather modest this day.
Same with 25th december, most just prepare own stomaches for New Year Eve's eating madness.
>>51018114
WW1 was the important one.
WW2 seems more like a rage attack.
Also Hitler was insane and tried killing german culture and replacing it with what he thought "fitting".

I'll probably keep them off completely this year desu - 2 years ago they were completely unnecessary thanks to no snow at all, last year I could've needed them for about five days or so, but that were the days after Christmas anyway so I didn't need the car

Motherfucking eggnog! I usually drink it until I'm sick. I think it's in stores already, should get a carton today if it is.
those fucks, they're nothing special tho
>>51018444
I think it's only for trucks though
Why should I drive down those soft tires in sometimes +15°C weather? Just makes the tire industry happy. Actually they have a worse breaking performance too in such conditions

Meh, playing my luck here then and hoping for another "winter" where such road conditions don't occur when I have to drive - of course if a multiple weeks lasting cold wave is about to rush in I can still react spontaneously.
Still kinda retarded to have them on like many did already a week ago when it was almost +20 - too much abrasion

>>51017697
We have something similiar here, called Hehkuviini, which literally translates to glow wine. It's also heated up but has more alcohol than your average glögi you can find at a super market.

We eat pork and sausages made from pig entrails

We have Hannukah so we eat Sufganiyot (Germans will probably recognize it being very similar to a Berliner), and Latkes. They're so good, but even small ones will get you some 600 calories or so.

depends on it its homemade or store-bought
in the old days people liked them, especially new englanders because you could store them for years, also it was a treat because the fruits and stuff in them were expensive even in season

it's not a theory, it's fact, the catholic church converted many euro pagan holydays into christian ones

btw it's just banter i don't see anything wrong with it, pagan holydays are much comfier than ours

Do you have a recipe, pal? Rice pudding is one of my favourite deserts.
>>51021464
>Do you think Israel is and should be a Jewish country foremost?
my sides when people actually take what bibi says seriously
this whole meddling in semantics is what we call "playing with kaka", it's a juvenile attempt to subvert attention from the government not doing shit it's supposed to do
israel is a national home to jews like germany is a national home for germans and france is a national home for french and russia is for russians and china for chinese etc
and like all of these countries it's a modern secular country where religious tradition is just that, tradition, reserved for holydays and such
any attempt to turn it into a religious jewish state is going against the ideas of zionism, which is a place for jews to worship or not worship at their own free will, feedom for and from religion as one may choose for himself.
so this is what a jewish state means, it does not mean a religious state, just a jewish one, like germany is for germans even tho most people there are secular you still have your make up and traditions and laguage that make you a nation of your own
>>51021966

>>51016425
I love it they sell it here too. Its addictive as fuck tho...
>>51022118
>>51021966
So thank you, I just wanted your ideas about national identity since Israel is a rather young state which actively discusses this themes.
>>51019574
what is that?
>>51022118
>I am just afraid of the birth-rate of muslims here
yeah it's a problem, for example we almost had no arabs left after 1948 and yet somehow they managed to become almost 20% in 70 years
fun fact, the christian ones actually secularized and mixed into society so even though the ratios in 1948 were bear even between muslims and christians the christians became outnumbered as fuck.
but birth rate seems to be dropping now that arab women are getting into work nd academics and feminism is slowly drizzling into arab society
it secularization is a non violent solution to this but yet again it takes too long so my reccomndation is deny them visas, passage and put them on trucks back to the turkish border before it's too late
>I just wanted your ideas about national identity since Israel is a rather young state which actively discusses this themes
yeah, it's pretty much about being a unified nation like other nations are again. granted it's been 2000 years since then, we came from all around the world, revived a long dead laguage, settled in the worst spot imagainable but the idea is still there.
