      @Napoléon Bonaparte eso es cierto, pero también es un tema extenso y complicado que este chico no va a invertir en investigar. Comer tamales en diciembre es de lo más normal en México (junto con otros platillos) y sus variedades en todo el país son bastantes, no me imagino toda latinoaméria. También está lo de la rosca que hizo de España. En México es tradición hacerla el 6 de enero y a quien le sale el niño paga los tamales el 2 de febrero; así que es la misma tradición que en España, pero diferente a la vez.

    A super common part of Australian christmas food are prawns. They're in season around Christmas and given that most people in Australia live within like 50km of the coast most places have amazing fresh prawns available for shockingly cheap. Also, I don't know what the prawns are readily available in winter in norther europe, but they're quite large and almost sweet. Typically served with a bunch of sauces to dip them into. Another common item is a leg of ham.
    Also, the largest Christmas meal in Australia tends to be lunch. Lots of family relaxing in the heat with some beers/wine and punch for the kids sharing good food and good stories. Also, Christmas Pudding is pretty common here like in the UK.

    Kevin, you spent the whole holiday season up until now consistently turning out one short every day from 1 December til Christmas day, when you're already back in Romania with your family... Not only has this been an awesome series, but your channel has grown so much this year along with your content, because so many people love seeing both diversity and common ground, as well as the dank eats. 😎
    We love for great work and appreciate all you do. Here's hoping you allow yourself some RnR and self-care, and a wonderful holiday season.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🤶🎅🕊

    I'm from Québec and no one I know has the same family recipe for tourtiere but homemade literally doesn't compare to what we find in grocery stores which is more akin to the recipe you used. My family makes it in a huge oval roaster, there's a layer of dough all around and over it (the dough contributes hugely to flavour so that's a whole Thing) and the filling is made up of poultry and beef chunks marinated overnight + diced potatoes. The dish takes 4-6 hours to cook in the oven depending on whether you want to interior to be more of a sauce-y stew or not.

    Didn't see it in the comments but just a little clarification about your dish from Canada: you actually baked a "meat pie", while still a very popular Canadian dish, is not a traditional "Tourtière". The "Tourtière" is made out of wild meat (moose, deer, hare, etc.) diced out into cubes, mix with potatoes, also into cubes, and spices, into a very large crust and cooked for more than 5 hours. I would suggest you try it too! ;) Still, the dish is very "meaty" but more delicious in my opinion!

    Oh man this brought back memories.

Every year at holiday time dozens of Jamaicans would come into the store looking for this damn red wine that you can only buy in Jamaica and we always had to try to figure out the best substitutes to recommend because they have to start making this fruit marinade like a month in advance. I remember that pain in the ass every year.

    I've been watching you for a while and I'm Polish so let me make some remarks on your barszcz. I can see from the colour of your soup 'barszcz' that it looked profoundly diluted whereas what we eat is redder than heavy person's blood. If I was you, I would go for the hunter's stew called bigos. I'd love to bring your attention to the fact that we celebrate Christmas Eve heavily so we have 12 unique dishes eating only on that day. I hope you have somebody Polish around you (you live in the Netherlands as far as I remember) so they can show you the way. Anyone reading my comment I'm inviting you to Poland at this time of the year to try some Polish Christmas dishes. Furthermore, I'm glad youve noticed the colours of the dish matching the flag hahahaha personally I wouldn't thought about it ever. Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it :)

    Man I love day 24's dish. Being Hungarian, we have it as well (we call it "Töltött káposzta", a bit longer...), and I have to agree that it's pure heaven. The savory cabbage with the salty sausage filling and the delicious juice... Topped with a little sour cream... Man... I'm drooling just thinking about it. I love Beigli too and I'm happy we got a 10, and there were some incredible dishes on here, but I have to agree here, the winner has to be Sarmale/Töltött káposzta/Stuffed cabbages (and in many more languages probably, I think we all eat it in the region)

    I'm so glad that you actually tried the "roscón de reyes"! But actually it doesn't have a baby Jesus figure but a figure of one of the three "reyes magos" (Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar) and of course a bean. The poem of the "roscón de reyes" says (in spanish):
    He aquí el roscón de Reyes
    tradición de un gran banquete
    en el cual hay dos sorpresas
    para los que tengan suerte.
    En él hay muy bien ocultas
    una haba y una figura,
    el que lo vaya a cortar
    hágalo sin travesuras.
    Quien en la boca se encuentre
    una cosa un tanto dura
    a lo peor es la haba
    o a lo mejor la figura.
    Si es la haba lo encontrado
    este postre pagarás
    mas si ello es la figura
    coronado y Rey serás.
    In english:
    Here is the roscón de reyes
    tradition of a great banquet
    in which there are two surprises
    for those who are lucky.
    In it there are very well hidden
    a bean and a figure,
    the one who is going to cut it
    do it without mischief.
    who is in the mouth
    a somewhat hard thing
    the worst is the broad bean
    Or maybe the figure.
    If it's the bean found it
    this dessert you will pay
    but if it is the figure
    crowned and King you will be.

      In Mexico, it comes with a baby Jesus figurine, and whoever finds it pays for the tamales on February 2nd, which is the feast day of the Virgin of the Candelaria. And yes, I can verify that making it is no easy feat, because when I was growing up, there were no Mexican bakeries in NYC, so my mom made it by hand, and it was a process

    The Argentinian dish is in fact an Italian dish, vitello tonnato. And isn't the German Christmas dish roasted goose? Or Christstollen, if you want the Christmas desert. Vanillekipferl are the cookies that one bakes during the Advent period, you can have them at Christmas, but they are not THE Christmas dish.

    • @Alina_the_Hedgehog
      @Alina_the_Hedgehog Год назад

      I mean, there can be multiple traditional Christmas dishes for every country. "Christmas food" doesn't have to be the main feast. It's just what people traditionally eat around that time.
      And I don't know where you got the part with the roasted goose. The Christmas feast in Germany depends very much on the region, and very often even family tradition. In a lot of cases, the East-West-split still shows culinary culture. The traditional Christmas feast for my family has always been roasted hare with red cabbage and Thuringian-style potato dumplings. Yes, many other families have roasted goose or canard (duck) but some types of fancy meat are still too expensive for many East German families.

    We didn’t have Brazil in this video so i wanted to share a bit of our culture here, (I’m Brazilian and Colombian so i’m glad Colombia was included), we usually eat “feijoada” with “farofa”. Farofa is a powder which i’m PRETTY SURE is made out of corn and whatever else and feijoada is a dish with black beans, rice and pork (which we call linguiça). Rice and beans are a part of our everyday life, and for dessert we eat “brigadeiros” a simple little chocolate candy shaped like a cupcake but VERY VERY tiny. I personally don’t like them but like half of the population LOVES those. We use condensed milk, melted chocolate and chocolate sprinkles and freeze it for about 10-30 minutes. Anyways happy new year

      Also, farofa is made with cassava flour.
      I was hoping he would do "farofa de passas" (it's with raisins), but it's more of a side dish, so I see why he didn't.
      Christmas food is usually the turkey, and the typical foods are the side dishes (so farofa, salpicão, arroz de lentilha...)
      Would be interesting, though, to see his opinion on them.

    so sad we couldn't see brazil since almost all of the christmas food comes from colonial and globalized cultures, it is common for us to eat panetonne, french toast, roast turkey/chester(which is literally just chicken but expensive).
    Some authentic recipies i can think of are:
    Pavê: a desert made with layered pastry cream and ladyfingers/maizena (cornstarch) cookies/cake, very similar to tiramisu but actually pavê pre-dates it. The cream has a base of milk, condensed milk and cornstarch, however you can go wherever your mind takes you with the flavor, vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chunks, leite ninho (powdered milk), or you can use any kind of cream you want, brigadeiro, doce de leite, flavored whipped cream, anything's alright, the cookies or cake are dipped or basted in syrup, milk mixed with condensed milk or just milk if it is too sweet for you, then you start layering, starting and ending with the cream, once you have enough layers you can finish it with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.
    Salpicão: a mixed shreded chicken breast, carrot, corn, green beans/olives and mayo salad mixed with batata palha (tiny and thin crispy potato sticks) right before serving, so they don't get soggy. Some people also use raisins but it is a very polarizing ingredient, my family for instance doesn't use it.
    Me and my family also snack on pão de queijo filled with many kinds of meat (turkey, chester or roast pork loin) since we don't actually do a big meal. Traditionally in Brazil people celebrate christmas eve in the night of the 24th of december, and once the clock hits midnight and the day turns to the 25th they sit togheter and eat the ceia (last meal of the day) together, but me and my family only get together on christamas eve to drink and snack, we leave the actual big meal for a family lunch on the 25th.

    That cake that you baked as a Hungarian tradition you can also find in Romania, called ,,cozonác", just the filling might be a bit different
    But yes sarmale are amazing, can't wait to go tomorrow to my country to eat some 🤤
