If I had to pick one food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be potatoes.

Good choice Sloww, just make sure you don't make the mistakes the Irish made with that.

Have you been declared a traitor to Texas yet? They are probably coming after you for not saying beef or beef brisket .

Mmmm. Briisskeeet...... {/Homer}

We -were- going to have BBQ ourselves today, but I and Mom are both not 100% over that pernicious stomach virus, so we decided to postpone -that- for new years.

Instead I just baked some sweet and russet potatoes, sauteed some zucchini w/a little bit of shallot, bakebroiled some chicken, and went ahead and made the apple mini-galettes I'd been intending to anyway.

Though now Imran's making me wish I had a side of chocolate-pecan pie *drool*

[Imran Siddiqui]

sorry .

I will say though, that some BBQ pork sounds good. I can't have a grill or smoker on my porch (I live in an apartment), but you put a pork shoulder, fat side up, quartered onions underneath, in the slow cooker and cover it in sauce.. cook it for 10 hours. Mmmm, heavenly.

My wife and I made chicken enchiladas today.

[Dinner]

We were at my sister's house and my brother in law is Italian so we had a wop Christmas with lots of Italian food.

Relatively traditional christmas dinner, a buffet of a large assortment of dishes that's eaten at a comfortable pace. We didn't have all the dishes, if you include all the things that are "supposed" to be there it becomes a giant project.

A large christmas ham, served with mustard of choice.

A number of different pickled herrings, in different sauces and spice mixtures.

Different sausages and otherwise not so commonly eaten meat products, "sylta" is like a mash of different meat parts that's mashed into a gelatinous state. Not my favourite.

Boiled potatoes.

Chopped up potatoes mixed with cream, chopped onions and ansjovis. Baked in the oven.

Meatballs.

Boiled eggs.

Different kinds of bread, hard bread and special spiced bread called "vörtbröd". Always dark bread.

Red and brown cabbage.

Salmon, I think it's called "gravad lax" in english as well. Which is kind of bizarre. Served with special sauce.

Dark beer and shots of strong alcohol are drunk during the meal, the shots are different mixtures of herbs and ingredients that flavour the drink. Another tradition drink is "julmust", a fizzy drink with some resemblance to root beer.

Coca Cola has tried to take over as the "christmas beverage of choice" for a number of years in Sweden but now they've somewhat given up and bought into production of julmust instead.
