Do you like... (cause I'm bored)

...(trying to think of more 'traditional' holiday foods here)

eggnog?  Fruit cake?  candy canes?  hot toddys? apple cider? Plum pudding? Mincemeat Pies? King's Cake (or 3 kings cake?)?  Chocolate Oranges? 

 

and if you come up w more unusual or just holiday foods... just list them!

 

 

Re: Do you like... (cause I'm bored)

  • I can't stand fruit cake.  I've never had mincemeat pies, but I like the rest of the stuff on your list.

    DH's SIL is British and I've tried some God-awful British holiday food.  Can't think of the names right now, but they were horrendous.

  • Love Eggnog and apple cider

    Candy canes are ok. I like the starbursts ones, but something about the flavors of them I just done care for in general. Usually I love sucker type candy.

    Never had fruit cake, plum pudding, mincemeat pies, or chocolate oranges

    Never heard of hot toddys or king's cakes

  • I like eggnog, candy canes, apple cider, and hot buttered rum :)

    I don't care for fruit cake, and I've never had plum pudding, mincemeat pie, or king's cake.

    My grandma used to make this pastry/cinnamon rollish dessert on Christmas Eve, and I can't remember the name. . . It was like a cinnamon roll, but not as good, and you didn't slice it into rounds before baking - you just shape it like a wreath. . . Arg. It's going to drive me nuts now. . . HALP!

  • Yeah, not a fan of plum pudding, or fruit cake... Like the first sets of stuff I listed...

    Saw the King's Cake-thought of the NOLA gals-you do that down there, right? Or wrong?...

  • yum: eggnog, cider, candy canes

    yuck: fruitcake, mincemeat

    never had: plum pudding, choc oranges, hot toddys or king's cakes


     

  • Whew! Found it! It's potica (pronounced paw-tee'-tzah), and apparently it's Slovenian. . .No idea how that made it into my family's traditions, because I don't think that is one of our many ethnic backgrounds. I'll have to ask my aunts. . .
  • Ehh ok...- eggnog, apple cider

    Love- candy canes

    Never Had- Fruit cake

    Never heard of- hot toddys, Plum pudding, Mincemeat Pies, King's Cake,  Chocolate Oranges? 

  • We're Norwegian so we have lots of 'interesting' holiday foods: lutefisk, lefse, krumkake and rommegrot, just to name a few. I'm not a fan of lutefisk or lefse.

    Out of the foods you listed, I really only enjoy candy canes and apple cider. I eat one mini peppermint candy cane each year at the holiday lights display and I'm good until next year. I do love the fruity candy canes, though. Apple cider I'm a HUGE fan of but it makes me really sick.

  • Are you talking about King Cake?  If so, that is for Mardi Gras.  It's yellow, green and purple for the colors of Mardi Gras and doesn't start until January.
