Traditional English Christmas dinner consists of a whole turkey, roast potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, sage and onion stuffing balls, roast parsnips, bacon sausage rolls, bread sauce and cranberry sauce. This is followed by plum pudding with brandy butter.

ewwwww lol i hate to be polish lol. good english christmas dinner is the best

[alsatian73]

@mymightyboosh I'm Portuguese and i'd rather eat with the polish any day. Alot more pleasant to look at. You English got no teeth and your food is very boring.

[mymightyboosh]

[AlTillyTheBum]

Thank You ... I have very fond memories of the Christmas Feast ...

[veronicachic]

lolz we make this every christmas too x) cant wait for it this year

[tisherbug27]

Oh This reminds me of Christmas with my grandparents!!!! :)

[IDeeAlystiQ]

:) This is really cool! I haven't been home for Christmas for a few years now and I cannot wait for this upcoming holiday season when I will actually get to sit at the table with my family again! It is interesting how every family has their own twist to the traditional dishes of Christmas Eve Supper in Poland. The most amazing thing about this food is that we eat it only on 1 day out of the whole year so it is very special and everyone craves it and eagerly waits for the sun to go down :)

Thank you everyone who responded to this video... We made this video for my family to watch and didn't expect 10 000 hits!! Apparently, there are heaps of polish people living outside of their country who are feeling a little homesick.... Take care all... Vince

[Feisty1967]

I want that food now...

[opal1920able]

Also my Grandpa, when he was younger ate pigs feet, but he didnt do that when he got older.

[opal1920able]

Oh also my Great Great Grand parents, ate blood soup. Not sure what blood soup is.

[pattismith76]

@opal1920able This is called Czernina, or Duck Blood Soup.

[katarzyna1113]

@pattismith76 i dont think so

its beetroot soup not blood soup

[pattismith76]

@katarzyna1113 -There is also a beet soup called Borscht. My Busia made both.

[PLOBEXRIME]

@opal1920able just beetroots

[opal1920able]

We have Polish American Christmas meals, we have periogees, used to be handmade, but now store bought, herring in cream sauce, we used to have some radish Polish soup, but not lately, usually homemade potatoes and gravy, one year we had the cheap store bought potatoes. My Aunt used to send us the wafer but not lately. Also ham and Polish kiebessa.

i cant eat bigos i become sick

I LOVE BOURST or however you spell it

[vamosherbut]

Me sister me dad bread from the church ,ryba bigos ,sledz, but whe,s karp?

[david640]

Although I have done some research on Bigos, and I know that it is Poland's National Dish, Is there a certain time of year it is served( like at Christmas only ) or is it an everyday food one in Poland would make ?

Thank you

[Hanabi16]

bigos is traditionally served at Christmas, but not only then. It depends on family I suppose . For example my mom is making bigos on birthday or imieniny (that's something like bitrthday, an event connected with yout name). But sometimes she serves it as an everyday dish.

[david640]

Thank you very much for replying my next step is to try it,

It really looks like a delicious and hearty meal.

[mrkzZz]

really on christmas? my mum make it on birthdays or family celebrations, but on christmas we eat nothing with meat^^

[Hanabi16]

christmas bigos is made of cabbage and mushrooms, without meat ;)

[coltsuperocean10]

David, bigos is to be eaten everyday. My Mother is from Poland, so as a young kid we would go back to Poland in the summer for holidays and to meet the family. If I remember bigos would be served as fast food in towns and cities, with bread and a beer in shops in Poland. We still eat it with meat and potato dishes, but its equaly delicious on its own with a slice of bread or two!!

[newarklocal]

przepraszam, oplatki, nie oblacki lol

[BOSTONBUCK]

POLISH FOOD IS GREAT

[mrkzZz]

the best ;)

[newarklocal]

chubbychilli, we aren't allowed to eat on Christmas because it is custom. It is custom that we don't eat meat for same reason why we don't eat meat during Fridays of lent and why we didn't eat meat on Fridays before Vatican II. It shows a sign of respect, that we are giving up a dish we love.  In early church, giving up meat was seen as a sign of reconciliation since those buying and eating meat were rich. It is a sign of humility and respect. Hering, Pierogi, i Oblacki. Thats Polish Xmas!

[coltsuperocean10]

Lorena, the tradition is not to eat meat on Christmas Eve, but on Christmas day it is different and you can eat meat!

[mrkzZz]

we aren't allowed to eat meat on christmas!
