South American here, we celebrate on the 24 at night. Spent all day cooking with my parents, there's turkey, baked potatoes, Caesar salad, 6 topes of hot sauce, carrot pudding for desert. Egg nog, spiced wine and a drink called canelazo made with naranjilla a relative of tomatoes and golden berries spiced with cinnamon and star anize
Sounds amazing!
An Argentinian friend told me she felt some of their Christmas food was a bit strange, as it was a lot of heavy food that you'd otherwise never eat in summer but that's eaten anyway because it's associated with Christmas. Does this fit your experience?
It's ten below where I am, and I certainly wouldn't mind being served up that dish haha
We sont really have many summer / winter foods here since I live in the equator and seasons are non existent. But Turkey it's pretty much only a Christmas thing.
