Foodie Corner: The Best Christmas Food
Christmas time around the world is celebrated according to local traditions and every family has their own little quirks. For many though, what makes it really special is the Christmas Food! When families take their seats for Christmas dinner, they feast their eyes on a variety of mouthwatering favourites. In our house it includes Spiced beef! Every house is different though, so we’ve taken a look at some Christmas food favourites from all over the world… Share yours in comments below!
1. Germany – Roast goose with red cabbage. Simple, but carefully arranged (as always!) the Christmas table in Germany combines the meat with vegetables and of course potatoes, a Germans’ favourite!
2. France – Stuffed turkey with chestnuts and foie gras! Sophisticated to the bone, French celebrate the big day with a luxurious delicacy.
3. Argentina – Cabrito asado or roast goat meat with mashed potato puree. Plain, but tasty, this traditional dish of Argentina will surely meet your expectations of a hearty meal.
4. Nigeria – Moin moin or a pie with black beans, chicken, liver, shrimps and fish. We’d just like to say…yum yum!
5. Britain – Roast beef with all the trimmings. A feast of colours and tastes and a perfect reason to escape in front of the TV for the afternoon.
6. Finland – Gravlax Graavilohi or fresh salted salmon. For frugals!
