What do RT'ers eat more of for Special Occassions?

Balkan way

 

haha, yum

we used to go to hog roasts sometimes when i was a kid. haven't done that in yeeeeears

 

still, not as good as some dolphin fish

 

Thats why I said "special occassions" not just thanksgiving.

 

We generally have turkey, though over the past six years I had tofurkey. Now Im back to the real thing and I love it.

 

for a special occasion I'll make crab legs or chicken cacciatore

mmmmmm

 

For xmas the meat eaters in my family have Foie Gras and turkey with potatoes.. I just eat the potatoes.. and smoked salmon.. caviar.. little pieces of toast with fancy stuff on top.. lobster.. Champagne.. hmm.. for the Beaujolais Nouveau with have Baujolais Nouveau.. on New Years Champagne.. birthdays and anniversaries Champagne and cake.. but we also eat all these things on regular days sometimes.. I would say there's generally more alcohol and desserts like cakes as the main difference.

 

:drool5: i think the best part is the cracklins, although it's all pretty damn great.


for special occasions, i usually go out for steak. for holidays, my mom typically makes chicken or turkey, although she varies a lot in what she makes.

 

we always have turkey on holidays. I request it.

my mom makes ham too and I'm pretty much a snob and won't eat it.....

 

New years we have collards, cornbread, blackeyed peas, and mashed potatoes. Gotta get that money rollin' in!

 

ham is a bastard meat not fit for human consumption

but a pork roast, now you're talkin!

 

man i haven't had any good fish in a long time.

right now i want some damn good fish...rice...lots of green vegetables, a bunch of fruit...and i don't know, some rum or beer or something. oh! and conch fritters!!

 

All ham is roast soaked in a brine and smoked??

I loved corned beef and corned pork. Man if done right its great.

Ever had a fresh smoked pork (no salt brine) its great.

 

I usually try to tend to the likes of my guests. If they're vegetarians, I have an all veggie layout...

 

We have a lot of these little things for special occasions:

 

OH - typical French xmas food: oysters in white wine.

I hate.

 

:drool5:

 

i dont usually like any shellfish. i DO like conch, but only in conch fritters



healthy, right?

what can i say, like most americans i love some fried food!
some stereotypes are true i guess

 

Thats why you stay so skinny.

 

I was I was French
