We have never called it that but yes. Polish + Roman Catholic tradition, I guess? Every Christmas Eve since I can remember.
Shrimp, Scallops, Fried Fillet, (I know Im forgetting others.. :fp: )
Yeah, my dad's family all came from Italy and before they all got too old/died we used to go to NY every year and one of them would host something similar. They were not meant to eat meat on Christmas Eve and so it was fish, fish, shellfish & more fish.
Good stuff, enjoy!
Eve:
My wife's Uncle Joe's famous pasta extravaganza. A gravy (red sauce to some) that he works on all year...7 different types of tomato that he grows in his yard and jars for this batch. A thick pasta, homemade ziti or similar & homemade sausage, hard boiled eggs all mixed together with the gravy. Shit is downright amazing.
!
lots of beer....wife made some kind of punch. also, there will be eggnog. lots of eggnog.
This sounds good to me...I may have one drinking buddy tonight but it will be very reserved. I do tend to enjoy it more when everyone gets good & loud while having their C-Eve fun!
I wanted to do a nice standing rib roast...BUT NO!
Her sister is cooking that on Christmas day..
So I made some homemade broccoli and cheddar soup...
And pulled pork sandwiches.
Stuffed mushrooms
Cheese/crackers
And a couple of desserts
Different.
Whats on your menu for the Holidays?
Your meal sounds good!
Tonight, I'm making chicken parmesan, garlic bread, salad, green beans and some pasta. Nothing complicated, but the boys like it! We're making Christmas cookies after dinner tonight.
Tomorrow, I'm making roast beef (something we don't usually have) and mashed sweet potatoes, plus some garlic roasted potatoes, carrots, and a cucumber & pomegranate seed salad.

I thought that too! I never heard of pasta sauce like that, mixed with hard-boiled eggs. It sounds great.
I decided to make the beef rools today. This thread is making me hungry.
Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!
I am off to the store soon.
We need nuts, olives, pickles, and I need to make some salami rolls.
Ya ever have salami rolls? Simple yet delicious.
Roll up some cream cheese in a slice of salami, top off with an olive or slice of pickle.
So simple, and they get gobbled up every time.
:P
