Well, in honor of a post Christian Christmas we are having a most haram of haramfests. Cider-braised shoulder of pork with sweet and sour kraut, mashed potatoes and cider gravy. And dessert will be bread pudding made from sticky buns topped with a Butter Rum sauce. Happy Christmas, everyone at Gates of Vienna!
Especially like these ugly Santa hats, which might very well serve as a proper symbol of the demise of traditional Europe. Don't know if they were thrown in for that reason though. I suspect not.
Kind regs from Amsterdam, city of Saint Nicholas (Sinterklaas) and black Pete ;) Sag
That absolutely made my morning here in the P.D.R. of Vermont. Joy to the world, even the Ultralibs in Burlington (AKA"Little Berkeley") have met the match...Somalis'! A big Christmas bowl of Hawg Cracklin's to all. CitiznX
My kin shall be enjoying Turkey, Ham, Pork (yummy crackling I hope) followed by home made brandy infused Christmas pudding (and flamed with brandy for the table).
We will have very haram drinkies too. Not too much mind you.
I don't expect to eat for the rest of the day as lunch will just about stop me engaging in any physical movement due to engorgement :-)

One huge ol' ham will be on the table here at schloss Babsie along with all the trimmings.
I wish all at GOV, especially D and the Baron, our intrepid translators, and Vlad a joyous Christmas or Chanauka as the case may be.
This one has made my Christmas, so funny, yet so true...Andrew Scotland.
