Answer 1

England:

Dark Christmas Cake with marzipan and thick royal icing.
And one large box of Turkish delight, this has to be dipped into hot Russian tea with a slice of lemon in it. We always read a Christmas Carol, by Dickens and,
The Tailor of Gloucester, by B Potter. The television only goes on for the Queens Speech... Early evening we all dress up warm and go for a walk.

Answer 2

United States... and I can no longer partake of my Holiday Tradition.

My father's Mother's family always made Holiday fruit cookies loaded with sugar, dates, and red and green candied cherries. When Grandmother passed - my sister took up the tradition.

I am now Diabetic - as is my mom - so only part of the family can indulge these days... but here's the recipe!

Holiday Fruit Cookies:

1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces dates, chopped
4 ounces candied green cherries, chopped
4 ounces candied red cherries, chopped
2 cups pecans, chopped
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet; set aside.
In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, blend together shortening and sugar. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir in dates, pineapple, green cherries, red cherries and pecans until thoroughly combined. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Makes 60 cookies.

Peace!

Answer 3

I'm not sure I understand the question. What country and what special food? Well, I'm in the United States, Montana ... no special treat ... we just hide out best we can during the time everyone is crazy shopping for "junk", and enjoy our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (my parents and I). One year my grandfather cooked a goose (he's passed on now) ... that was the only time we had something unusual ... it was special he did it, but we all agreed we didn't care for goose! Actually, my dad has been gourmet cooking since he retired a few years ago ... qwe never even knew he could cook! So he will no doubt come up with something special.

Answer 4

USA, specifically in the middle of the ocean.

And maybe I'll ask for some custard pie again this year! But...most likely, it's going to be pumpkin pie again. Which isn't bad. My mother bakes our own. She came from Taiwan...and they didn't celebrate Christmas there. My father's all American from Philly, so he grew up with the usual traditions...

And Vietnam....we didn't celebrate Christmas there either, but probably in the spring the folks there make their famous...spring rolls. It's some dish made of rice sheets encasing some vegetables, meat, or other stuffing.

An uncle there sat next to me, eating the spring rolls with us. He dipped his piece into a sauce. I begged for it. At first he horded it as if it's so good, and made me want it more. Then he gave dipped my food in the sauce. It BURNED!! I gulped as many cups of water as l could, but nothing abated the burning.

But after that, I came away with an everlasting love for hot foods.

Answer 5

I live in Canada, but around Christmas we eat not only the traditional North American turkey, etc, but also traditional foods from our cultures. I'm of both Norwegian and Ukrainian descent so we'll also have lutefisk, lefse, krumkaker from the Norwegian side; then in January we'll have at least part of the traditional Ukrainian Christmas dinner - pyrohy, holubtsi, borscht, kutia, etc.

Answer 6

I was born in russia and came here as a small child..Now as an elder citizen I still dream of a quiet eve in front of the fire with chocolate..the only sweets and the only time in the year to have some..a service at midnight and christmas was honored..chocolate..Mishka na Severe...the best

Answer 7

USA,(with a retirement home in the mountains of Mexico), Normally, I bake a chocolate cake, so rich with chocolate, that if eaten too fast, it will give you a headache.
This year tho, I do not know exactly where I / we will be spending X-Mas, so I probably will have to bake the cake, around Dec. 22nd.

Answer 8
