What do Americans eat at Christmas? Do Christians in the United States celebrate Christmas in a similar way to Poles?
\nChristmas in the U.S. looks a little different, but not too drastically different from those celebrated in Poland. Americans, just like Poles, buy and decorate Christmas trees and give each other gifts during this period. American stores are filled with Christmas items long before Christmas. The situation is similar in food stores.<\/p>\n
However, it must be admitted that the American Christmas is much poorer in traditions. In the United States there is no cultivation of common gingerbread baking or even 12 Christmas Eve dishes. There is also no traditional place at the table for a stray wanderer. Most importantly, Christmas Eve is not celebrated there either. The celebration starts on the 25th of December, which is Christmas Day itself.<\/p>\n
What do Americans eat at Christmas? Often on American Christmas tables there are dishes that most of us associate with American Independence Day. There is turkey or ham, lots of vegetables and very often a casserole. Dishes on American tables are often ready-made from supermarkets or ordered in restaurants. Despite this you can also find many dishes taken from European tables. Apart from the aforementioned turkey, the tables are filled with stuffed duck, which is filled with cranberries and vegetables.<\/p>\n
Sweet potato or white potato puree, baked potatoes, roasted root vegetables, Brussels sprouts, bean casserole, cornbread or scones buns almost always appear as side dishes on holiday tables in America. For dessert, Americans eat chocolate cake, puddings, pumpkin pie or the typically English trifle dessert. To drink, eggnog and mulled wine are often served.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
