Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Most Christians don't have the dietary restrictions of the Jews, so as pointed out they eat anything. There are NO special Christian foods, just traditional Holiday meals.

Greeks eat a lot of lamb, esspecially at Christmas and Easter. Jesus and his disciples also ate lamb. This is a very traditional Middle Eastern food, so I would imagine many Turks and Lebanese Christians also eat Lamb.

In America it's often Ham for Christmas, although some people also eat Turkey since it's close to Thanksgiving and turkeys are cheap and available. For Easter it's often a ham.

Ham is forbidden to Jews and Middle Easterners, but for some reason it became somewhat of a traidition to have an "Easter ham" in America.

Hard boiled eggs are also often made at Easter.

Italians eat a lot of seafood at Christmas, along with Pasta.

South Americans have a variety of cakes they eat at Christmas and Easter.

Some people do eat Roast Goose for Christmas. They also roast chestnuts and make Gingerbread.

Puddings are also made by some people at Christmas time. Bread pudding, plumb pudding, etc.



There are, of course, a fair amount of vegitarian Christians who might make a Tofu dish for both Christmas and Easter.

Since it is hot in the Southern Hemisphere, Australians often have cold cuts for Christmas.

Fruit cake or Stollen (CHristmas Cake) is often made by people at Christmas time. This is an egg based sweetened yeast bread that often contains rasins or nuts.

As some people pointe out there is the wine and bread, but that is largely a JEwish tradition that Christians never embraced.

The bread is flat and made without yeast, although yeast bread could be used. The Wine is very sweet grape wine, although water and grape juice can be used. There is often a meat dish, which can be beef or chicken or lamb. There are bitter herbs, such as horse raddish or salsa. There can be vegtables like potatoes.

This is the communion or last supper meal taken by Jesus before he was crucified.

It's a JEwish traidition that is 5,800 years old. Most Christians don't pratise it.

Answer 3

Question: "What does the Bible say about what foods we should eat? Are there foods a Christian should avoid?"



Answer: Leviticus chapter 11 lists the dietary restrictions God gave to the nation of Israel. The dietary rules were never intended to apply to anyone other than Israel. Jesus later declares all foods clean (Mark 7:19). God gave the apostle Peter a vision in which He declares concerning formerly unclean animals, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean” (Acts 10:15). When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24-26; Ephesians 2:15). This includes the laws regarding clean and unclean foods.



Romans 14:1-23 teaches us that not everyone is mature enough in their faith to accept the fact that all foods are clean. As a result, if you are with someone who would be offended by you eating “unclean” food – you should give up your right to do so as to not offend the other person. We have the right to eat whatever we want, but we do not have the right to offend other people, even if they are wrong. For the Christian in this age though, we have freedom to eat whatever we wish as long as it does not cause someone else to stumble.



The Bible is far more concerned with how much we eat than what we eat. Physical appetites are an analogy of our ability to control ourselves. If we are unable to control our eating habits we are probably also unable to control other habits such as those of the mind (lust, covetousness, unrighteous hatred/anger) and unable to keep our mouth from gossip or strife. We are not to let our appetites are control us rather than us controlling them. See Deuteronomy 21:20, Proverbs 23:2, 2 Peter 1:5-7, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, 2 Corinthians 10:5.

Answer 4

Great Question and there is a long and short answer.
The Short answer would be when we take communion. That's where we break bread and drink wine, We see the bread as Christ Body and the wine as Jesus's blood. So in that sense it is special.

The long version would start by understanding the the law to the Hebrews that regulates what they eat. And then read starting at Acts 10:10 in the new testament.

God Bless ya.

Answer 5

Christians usually eat the same foods everyone else eats. A FEW Christians choose to follow the dietary laws in the Old Testament. That means no shrimp, lobster, crab, catfish, but only those fish who have scales. They don't eat pork either (ham, sausage, pepperoni, etc.) All animals must have either fins and scales OR split hooved and chew the cud.
But again, less than half of all Christians follow those laws.

Answer 6

Maybe what you should have asked is "what do christians not eat"
The Bible specifies what is "clean" to eat and what is "unclean", and how we should keep our bodies pure and healthy because they are like temples for the Holy Spirit. And we need to eat healthy to keep our minds clear so we can make good decisions and not be swayed by the devil.
Genesis, Leviticus, and Daniel are all books in the Bible that talk about what we should eat and in the new testament it talks about keeping your body pure for the holy spirit dwells in us.
Even though God allowed us to eat certain flesh meats after the flood, it was orginally intended in Genesis for us to eat a plant based diet. Notice how the life span went down after the flood, part of the that reason is becuase they started eating meat after the flood. so as i christian i only eat that which is good for my mind and body.

Answer 7

Oh my God. How stupid a person must be to give such a topic for report! There are so many Christians and their cuisines differ so much that it's not even comparable, and most often it doesn't have anything to do with their religious belief, but with the region where they live.

Answer 8

some Catholics eat fish on friday (or certen fridays, i think maybe during lent) and christians have comunion in which they eat a small peace of bread (or cracker or pita or such) and drink some juice/wine once a month, or once a sunday (depending on the church) cause Jesus comanded it to be done in rememberance of him bread like is body, wine like is blood. um, that is alll i know of. they also may eat slightly heath conceous with the belief that they should take care of their body, and not destroy it with junk.

Answer 9

Your question is too vague as there are many different sects of Christianity. You would be better off asking something more specific like "What special foods do Roman Catholics eat?" or "What special foods do Mormons eat?"

Answer 10

This probably isn't what you mean but many Christians consume Communion--wine and bread/wafer which symbolize the body of Christ (or undergo transubstantiation, depending on which denomination you mean.)

Answer 11

they feast on the souls of the unborn. (not really, that's what the gap troll does aside from eat snails, dance on nails, and chill in their shacks with their homies)

the flesh and blood of jesus christ during communion.
we ( by we i mean lutherans who go through catechism) are taught that the wafers and wine are not just representations of the body and blood of jesus, they actually are the body and blood. jesus tastes aweful.
