I am thinking about making myself something delicious. Not celebrating with anyone this eve but curious what everyone else will be eating.

    South American here, we celebrate on the 24 at night. Spent all day cooking with my parents, there’s turkey, baked potatoes, Caesar salad, 6 topes of hot sauce, carrot pudding for desert. Egg nog, spiced wine and a drink called canelazo made with naranjilla a relative of tomatoes and golden berries spiced with cinnamon and star anize

      Sounds amazing!

      An Argentinian friend told me she felt some of their Christmas food was a bit strange, as it was a lot of heavy food that you’d otherwise never eat in summer but that’s eaten anyway because it’s associated with Christmas. Does this fit your experience?

      It’s ten below where I am, and I certainly wouldn’t mind being served up that dish haha

        We sont really have many summer / winter foods here since I live in the equator and seasons are non existent. But Turkey it’s pretty much only a Christmas thing.
