Boudin Blanc with caramelized apples
Another traditional French Christmas dish is the "boudin blanc". A far cousin of the British and Irish white puddings, the French boudin blanc is mainly made of veal, chicken, rabbit or pork meat, eggs, milk, cream, flour and flavoured with mushrooms, morels, Champagne or Chablis, etc. It is only available during the Christmas season. This tradition comes from the middle ages when, in France, people were used to eat a milk based porridge just after midnight mass to warm themselves up. Butchers of the time imagined to put this porridge into a membrane made of pig intestines and bulk it with minced meat and thickened with eggs.
