I'm glad the Christmas celebrations are over for, as much as I love family reunions, I hate to have to stuff myself in such a small timeframe! Food plays a large role in the French culture as you know it and it plays an even larger one on big occasions like Christmas... Most of the time you get to eat foie gras, turkey and buche (a typical Christmas dessert with the shape of a log). But more and more people tend to break away from tradition and serve "lighter" food like fish. I won't tell you what I had on Christmas eve AND on Christmas day, but one thing is sure, I can go without eating for the next month LOL. Hope you all have a wonderful time if you celebrated it. Time to go home now!

I didn't have foie gras, escargots or a yule log (buche) but I stuff myself as well. Time for restraint and healthier meals for the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteYeah yeah!
DeleteRight now I am full to the brim with Christmas dinner including filet mignon, jambon, and a clafoutis de poires et amandes. Miam, but I agree, Eric—no more food for a month!
ReplyDelete"clafoutis de poires et amandes." yummy!
DeleteMerry Christmas everyone!
ReplyDeleteMerci Petrea!
DeleteI'm with you -- I think for the next few days I'll stick to small meals, because right now I feel like I ate a basketball! Joyeux Noel to you and yours, Eric!
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOL! a basketball!
DeleteWe had a big meal at Christmas... with all the trimmings, as they say!
