    I was reading this[^] article about different holiday foods from different parts of the world and got curious. Since there are so many nationalities and cultures on the codeproject it would be interesting to know not just what you're mostly looking forward to foodwise, but also what you believe is the most typical food you have? For me the answer would be Julbord[^], but since we're going to celebrate Christmas with my wife's family it will be Goose this year.

    I don't really get excited for any holiday specific food, but a good gammon always turns me on.

      And on the topic of common culinary roots: it looks like frikadelle are common to Denmark and South Africa. Here, the frikadel is a - traditionally - curried meatball, with origins in Cape Malay cuisine.

        Really boring, and very "70's UK" I know...but there are two things I'm looking forward to, and one of them is the Prawn Cocktail I'll be making for Christmas Day starter... :-O The other is bought in: M&S Sugar Plum Christmas Pudding. By heck, it's good!

        Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

          Here is something you might be interested in, since you probably have the most important ingredient: Bratkatze. Our old cat used to be insulted when we visited grandma for a day at christmas. We usually would be ignored for at least a day when we came back. Not even bribing the cat with some treat worked and we always joked that it would be easier if we just cooked the cat.

              We will have roast duck with potatoes and red cabbage. It is typical but not served as often as goose in Germany. The dessert will be chocolate pudding and apple pie this year (we could not agree on a single one).

                  I'm not sure - what meat do you use? Danish frikadeller is made of half pork, half veal (or pork only if you prefer)... :)

                      Ah, but you see, for this question there are no wrong answers. (Actually yes there are, but let's not go in that direction shall we) I have a friend whose mum is making a Christmas pudding that's locally famous. I remember the first time I tried it, and having never tried anything like it before it went like: WTF, can you eat this? It's black! OMG I'm full. Can I have another spoon? Apparently there is no way to stuff more calories into something without using a hydraulic ram, and then she feeds it a daily dose of brandy every day for half a year.

                        The SA frikadel is predominantly beef, but only from convenience. The generic "sausage meat" is often used, but I can't speak on proper traditional Malay cooking, only on the frikadels I know, mainly made my my Afrikaans relatives.

Since there are so many nationalities and cultures on the codeproject it would be interesting to know not just what you're mostly looking forward to foodwise, but also what you believe is the most typical food you have? For me the answer would be Julbord[^], but since we're going to celebrate Christmas with my wife's family it will be Goose this year.

                                  We're serious eaters, but we really don't have a Christmas dinner traditional food. This year we're doing prosciutto, capacolla, salami, cheeses, fresh fruits, olives, bread, etc. on Christmas eve. I usually make oyster stew on Christmas eve, but I don't think of it as traditional because it wasn't something I learned growing up. Christmas morning has another semi-tradition: Bloody Mary's. We'll be having yeasty waffles, bacon, juice and what-not with that. Dinner will center around some fine steaks. We decided against the $1200 roast available through Costco http://www.costco.com/D%E2%80%99Artagnan-Japanese-Wagyu-Boneless-Ribeye-Roast-A-5-Grade.product.100082950.html[^]
