Re: What are Lancashire Christmas Traditions and Foods these days?

Maybe it will be Medallions of Pork at Britcliffe mansions, as he seems to like medals.

English Christmas traditions? Vastly overrated, in my opinion!

in that case you will like the Hispanic/Latino New Years day treat (supposed to be the best cure for a hangover) ... a chile flavoured tripe stew/soup
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menudo_(soup)

its popular here in California ,Texas and other south west States , the best stuff is said to be from the street roach wagons , ( reccomendation ....best eaten while wearing a blindfold)

Argument, separation, and divorce too, are other sesonal traditions we all enjoy.

The traditions are as varied as the people .

For our family it begins with Mass on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning .
Opening presents .
Family gathering with greetings , mulled wine , dinner ( turkey and Christmas pudding , and the usual trimmings ) , crackers .
Then a relaxing afternoon with family chat .

I enjoy it .

Wake up around 9, open pressies with a beer....(yes always opened pressie's with a can since I was old enough!!!)

Ring every-one that I am not going to see and say Happy Crimbo/Thanks for my pressie then off round to me Mum & Dads house to have our meal cooked for us!!

Watch the usual soaps/films while drinking wine and digesting my dinner until we get peckish again about 10pm then we usually have cheese and crackers with more wine!! Brilliant times........
