>mandarynki somehow connected with christmas
is this common in other eastern block countries or its just a polish thing?
>>51731378
In every ex-commie country. This is somehow connected to the fact that there were plenty of them in shops before the new year.

In communism times tropical fruits was only available in shops during christmas time but what is going on with it in scandinavia?

In Poland olivier salad connected with New Year too?
mandarin is best fruit desu
>>51734117
Maybe its because DDR, eastern Germany was abused by communism shit and some slav(e)s traditions was added to normal country.

there's no christmas without mandarinese here every time when i smell a mandarine instantly reminds me of christmas
>>51734036
>>51734055
I don't know why, but (good quality) Mandarins are usually only available cheaply and in bulk during winter. This leads to some people (me included) eating copious amounts of them during Christmas. Some people even make Christmas decorations with the skin.
>>51734146
My family is Polish and we eat it on Christmas, New Year and Easter.
D-Do some other countries put the mandarini crust on the radiator too?
>>51731441
According to my parents, they were in shops only around New Year.
Also you put the peels on radiators for the nice smell.
Same here lads.
Maybe it has something to do with the Vitamin C deficiency myth and people being scared of getting a cold?
>>51734358
Sometimes, yes.
>>51734146
we eat sałatka jarzynowa here on holidays
>>51734381
>Also you put the peels on radiators for the nice smell.
>>51734388

>>51734399
Which is basically a vegeterian Olivier salad, if I understand correctly.
its definitely a thing here
LITERALLY B E S T FRUIT
It's slowly turns into slavthread.
>>51734399
If that is the same thing, we do it too, but over here it is called Russian salad.
>>51734477
yes, in sałatka jarzynowa you dont add meat
Is watching home alone, eating kinder eggs and getting lego as a present was a thing when you were a kid in your country?
It's the same here.
>>51734172
Australian grown mandarins have a horrid petrol like aftertaste.
>>51734634
*at christmas/new year
>>51734653
dunno which ones you've been eating but these ones I get from the shops about 4x4x4cm easy peal ones, no seeds on the inside very sweet, inside a packet you get about 15 of them
>>51734634

we eat them during chruistmas here aswell
>>51734587
I know. And it seems to be a fairly new tradition. At least it wasn't a thing in my grandparents' time.
Never knew about such a thing 2bh
>>51734634
All this without kinder, parents always said, that they too expensive. Now i grow and see it too, this little motherfucking shit costs so much, i can have normal lunch on this money.
ok faggots do you have a tradition that tv stations are showing same fucking movies every christmas? In poland every christmas we have in tv

>>51734792
Don't know about tv, cause i don't watch it.
>>51734055
They're available year round but prices are lowest and quality is heighest around Christmas, when they're in season.. We don't traditionally eat them with Christmas, but there are plenty around in that period.
In some regions of the country kids go around with lanterns and sing songs door to door, on St. Martin's Day (November 11th), and then they get treats (a bit like on Halloween).. These days it's 99% candy, but back in the day you'd often get mandarins.. (I preferred Mars bars tbqh..)
>>51734792

>>51735028
Watership Down. I don't think it has episodes though, IIRC it's a feature length film (93 minutes).
>>51735013
Yes he's Hans "Jack" Gruber.
They're not actually terrorists though. They just pretend to be in order to distract from their real plan (stealing the stock certificates).

terminator 2
it's a wonderful life

>>51734055
I think with us it's sort of related. I think it must be a World War thing where fruit was severely rationed so getting a satsuma or mandarin was a big deal
enjoy your christmas lads, it's one of the few ones remaining.
>no americans in this thread
>>51735186
From wiki : "It was adapted into the 1978 animated film Watership Down. Later there was a television series also titled Watership Down which ran from 1999 to 2001."
But it was really amazing, goosebumps from my memories bout it.
>>51734634
not always kinder eggs, but something like pic related. You can guarantee you will get at least two of these every year
With Lego and Home Alone, yep

Slav bros question to you. Do you have in your country during communism time and early 90s candys gifts in national factories? Jesus I remember how happy I was when few days before christmas my mom and dad every yar bring to home two full fucking bags of sweets most of them I never saw in normal shop. There was so many of them that we gave 1/3 to orphanage and still I had problem to eat this all in next 2 weeks.
And here I thought our country was the only one with home alone on every Christmas. Thanks /int/
>mandarins during Christmas
My family usually eats walnuts during Christmas
>>51735654
We do, but those gifts get shittier each year тbh
>>51735789
Nuts is more of a Saint Nicholas thing here so 5th and 6th december.
>>51735789
>walnuts
same here plus mulled wine
Beacause i dont know how to explain it,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slava is there similar celebration (family based) in zoure cultures slavbros
>>51735654
I think I would've gotten the same too. I was piss poor as a kid tho baka.
>>51731378
mandarin oranges , satsumas, whatever you want to call them are pretty big everywhere at the end of the year, my plumbing friend. Most likely because you usually pick them during late October.
In belgium, Holland and northern France they're connected with st nicolas (which is today), along with marsipan and chocolate figurines of niggers.
In China and Japan they eat them at new year's because it's a sign of abundance (and they're fucking tasty).
I suspect all the scandi countries do the same
>>51736036
> tfw all the popular slavas are at November/December

Truly the best of feels
>>51735654
Yes. I remember this then I was 7-8 y.o, in 2002-2003. We also had special shows for kids in theatres and concert holls, called Yolka (Ёлкa). The main Yolka was in Kremlin Concert Palace.
>>51736147
yeah but in commie coountires tropic fruits was fucking rare
avalaible 2-3/year and with huge queue
>>51735911
Drinking mulled wine after skiing down a slope is what makes December and January great.
>>51731378
It's in the fucking season then. I don't expect to find fresh strawberries in Christmas.
>>51731378
We have this in Ireland. I never see them any other time of year.
It's weird because nobody considers it a tradition, it just sort of happens every year. I noticed it a few years ago and everyone just went "oh yeah, wonder why". I always looked forward to the mandarins in my stocking and used to get so butthurt if it burst.
>>51736270
>mulled wine
Love it.
Does Romania have good skiing locations?
Most of the German ones get very little snow because of climate change nowadays so you either have to go to France/Switzerland/Austria or ski on a glacier. Not a fan of artificial snow at all.
>>51731378
they are one of the traditional gifts during St. Nikolaus here
probably came to be because they are in season when it's winter here
>>51734399
Oh yes, my favorite tapa.
