I like pumpkin pie.

And I know people will disagree with this, but.. Egg nog too

Egg nog is good in small doses. I'm glad it's only a Christmas thing.. once in a while is a special treat.

Pumpkin Pie is great. I love it.

My family makes some really good Christmas cookies.. the only thing they do right during the winter. We found this really good recipe.. I'll put it up some time, it's da bomb.

Pumpkin pie doesn't seem... right? There are sometimes peices of pumpkin in a mince pie, but... what does a pumpkin pie look like? (So I can judge if I like it or not)

Xmas food I like:
Pavlova
Trifle
Cold ham on the bone
Cold ham on the bone sandwiches (usually eaten the few days after Xmas)
Ice cold fruit punch (We used to make the best punch ever... haven't done it in a while)
BBQ steaks
Ice-cream

...I'll think of more later.

You've ne'er seen a pumpkin pie?  :o

Here's a really nice picture of a piece:

I change my mind... that looks nice!  :o

Pumpkin pie just isn't a big thing in New Zealand. I'll try and find a place that sells it.

Come to think of it, I think it's called "Pumpkin Pudding" here. But still not very popular.

Eggnog is good.  I like all the fudge and mixed nuts at this time of the year.  :)

I think egg nog might be my favorite too. :)

Fudge with walnuts!  Yum!!!  :D

Truffles:  :D

I love most of everything. We use to go to the Sheraton Hotel on Christmas Eve and have steak dinners with our family on my mom's side. So, steak has a place in my heart around this time of year. I also like hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks, smores, homemade fudge, dreambars, stuffing (or as some call it - dressing), turkey and gravy, rum cakes, and so much more.

Pumpkin Pie

Sweet potato caseroles, creamy spinach, southwestern cornbread, turkey, garlic mashed potatos, and salads

Apple pie, mince pie, fruit cake, stuffing, cranberry sauce,  ahhh heck I love it all    ;D

Christmas dinner in general. Turkey, mince, vegetables, pudding for desert. Lush!

Pumpkin Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Turkey (especially crispy skin), Eggnog, Gingerbread, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.

Whoa... did you know that pic comes from the same page the Pumpkin Pie pic I posted does?  :o

Fruit cake

First thing that came to my mind was fudge! My mom makes the best fudge during the holidays.  :) 

I love turkey and all of the garnishings on Thanksgiving....on Christmas we usually have a big Italian dinner, which is tradition for us.  Has anyone ever had a torrone? It's an Italian nougat pastry/candy that is popular at Christmastime.

We used to do the same thing! :)  We would have ravioli for Christmas. Yummy!  I've never had torrone though.

We usually do lasagna for our Italian dinner as well. Never tried Torrone either :-\\

Really?  Cool!  There is quite a few of us here. :)  I've never met anyone else who has the Italian dinner for Christmas.  I always wondered if we were the only ones.

Wow another!  I wonder about nally's family now.


LOL  We'll have a Sons of Italy inthe00s Order. ;D

You actually EAT fruit cake ??? :o You're the first person I've ever "met" who does ;D

My favs are ham, turkey, wassail, spiced cider & stuffing. :P  I'm probably one of the only people I know who doesn't really care for pumpkin pie....I love the smell (hence the bazillion candles I have scented like it), but will usually pass on a piece of it :-\\


I feel the same way about pumkin pie.  I don't think it taste bad, but it's not good enough to eat. 

I really dislike turkey though........YUCK!  On Thanksgiving I usually have a plate of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing and vegetables.

I used to date an Italian guy and for Christmas, they did the 7 fishes dinner or whatever the "traditional" one was.....probably the one and only time I've ever LIKED that much fish ;)


I don't like fish, so I skip that dish :-X

I used to like egg nog, now not so much.  It's too sweet, although I may like it in small doses.

my great-grandma (before she passed away at the age of 102)....used to have a BIG Italian dinner for my dad and his family, when he was younger. They would have the traditional Italian pastas, etc...but they would also have lots of fish (smelts, squid, etc).

I've heard of them but I can't recall eating one. My mom's side is German, so we often have desserts of German origin.

And around Christmas time, she'd break out the ol' Easter Jellybean tree from the previous year ...  :D

Turkey, sweet potatoes, sugar cream pie, pumpkin pie and jellied cranberry sauce. :)

I like egg nog ice cream.

Turkey On Thanksgiving.

I don't like turkey either.. it's very plain.

Now, LUNCHMEAT turkey.. that's different, that stuff's delicious.

I like both.  I had a turkey sandwich for lunch yesterday and today.  As for regular turkey, it is rather plain unless you add salt, and if you're daring like me, some ketchup.

I do enjoy some ketchup.. and yes, salt makes it better.. but I rather dislike the texture.

I like all the sweets, but aside from the mashed potatoes, I dislike most holiday "meal" food.


I like apple cider though...

Cider isn't really seasonal... at least not around here. But then, we have a ton of apple trees..

Sounds right.. I thought about that afterwords.. meh.

I do love cinnamon.

Now that I think of it, we can get it at other times, but I never have the chance to drink it except on Thanksgiving and Christmas... It's my family treat, I guess

Ah yes, 5:27 PM sharp!

We always had the little boxes of Torrone at Christmas and Easter, come to think of it at Thanksgiving too.  That usually made it to the table the same time as the bowl of nuts in the shell and the bowl of fruit.  I found a recipe to make it and want to try but it takes a really long time to cook.

Homemade cranberry sauce.

yep, those are the kinds that we would get too.....there's this neat Italian store near us..and we make a trip there before the holidays..they carry all sorts of Italian goods.




Erin :)

Turkey, garlic potatos, biscuits, sweet potatos, corn, fudge, cookies, oh hell, I like most of the holiday treats  ;D

This year will be an Italian Thanksgiving, since everyone is worried about the bird flu  :P

Eggnog, hands down the best.  Not a food I know but still the best, almost that time of the year were I can start buying it again.  As for holiday food would have to be Candy Yams, Turkey, and biscuts.

You actually EAT fruit cake ??? :o You're the first person I've ever "met" who does ;D



I absolutely love fruit cake.  I don't know why so many people are down on it.  It has to be made
right of course.  The best is made with rum soaked fruits, it is deeeelicious    :)

Turkey. The good juicy parts, not the dry stuff so easily choked on.
