Food Lorists: Around the World in 80 Traditional Christmas Dishes

Around the World in 80 Traditional Christmas Dishes

Labels: Recipes Posted by Yann_Chef on at 9:56 p.m.

As I just finished reading "Around the world in 80 days" , the book by Jules Verne, the idea came to me to make my own journey around the world -but in 80 dishes. As Christmas is just around the corner and as I was never a big fan of the traditional Christmas dinner I started to explore the web, my books, mailed my friends and family and foreign chefs who I have worked with and drew on my own experience, to gather together 80 traditional Christmas dishes from around the world.

These are classified by type and a link to each recipe follows their name.

If you want to share traditional Christmas recipes from your part of the world, bring some precisions or corrections to these recipes feel free to do so in your comments.
Enjoy and have a tasty and merry Christmas!

Burgundy Wine
Planted grape varieties in Burgundy

Pinot noir
Gamay
Chardonnay
Aligoté
Some other less important grape varieties may be found, buy they are grown in marginal quantities and little used :
Sauvignon and grey Sauvignon from which the Saint-Bris aoc (109 h) is produced.
Tressot and Cesar for Burgundy for white Burgundy grand ordinaire aoc in the Yonne district .
You can more information on the Burgundy Wine in: http://www.burgundywinevarieties.com/

I notice that you have the Pastelles recipe for Puerto Rico. One of my best friends is the daughter of a gourmet PR chef from years ago so I asked her about that recipe. She told me:

I only see one very important ingredient missing: achiote/annato - the seeds are cooked in oil so that oil gets the taste and the color - this is then poured into the masa and the meat mixture.

The recipe that I was given by a Puerto rican friend of mine uses plantain and taro instead of the yucca as his family traditionally does. This is why he, in this recipe, do not use the achiote seed oil to cook the filling.
