Holiday food?

[MtnBiker]

Well the holidays are right around the corner. What are some of your favorite holiday foods or treats?

I will be cooking a Prime Rib for Christmas, that is always a family favorite. Also looking forward to my sister in-law's spiced wine.

I think we usually have Prime Rib or a Turkey. I'd be pleased if I could just order a 16" pizza.

I'm also looking forward to my mom's pecan pie, its awsome!

We are having a "traditional" thanksgiving: turkey, gravy, potatoes, yams, carrots, stuffing, cranberries, and if janeeng is a nice girl, homemade pies!

For christmas since I am italian by history, we celebrate on the eve....lots of good food including bagna calde. UMMMMMMM.

Thanks for making me think of it!

Okay, I'm sure this is gonna sound weird but:

It's olive oil, heated, and flavored with garlic and anchovy paste.

You swirl celery, fennel, carrots, proscuitto wrapped breadsticks, etc. in the warmed, fragrant oil.

I don't even like fish, but I like this stuff.

That actually sounds pretty good.

Herring on crackers is awesome, great for football games!

And why not leave it in the fridge? I'm done with it!

In other words, I am the average male.

Pickled herring, the last time I bought that it was for stergon bait.

Seriously, ya'll fish for sturgeon? Isn't that a 100 pound fish? How the heck do you lift the thing with a string?

Thanks Moi, the sad thing is most people around here don't even know what procuitto is.

Yeah I went sturgeon fishing a few years ago with a buddy on the Columbia river, you have to use heavy weight line and huge poles and reels. I've never caught a very big one the largest was about 53 inches, probably weighed about 20lbs. But they do get really big, and ugly.
