Traditions of Christmas - The foods!
Dec. 14th, 2004 10:42 pmIn many families, there are certain foods that are eaten only once a year. In my family, we celebrated many of the southern Italian traditions of Christmas and ate Italian foods. Mom had her one Polish custom of eating pickled herring on New Years' Eve.
I have fond memories of these foods, and the times we got together with my relatives to eat them.
Many of these foods might be found at specialty stores like my beloved Carfagna's in Columbus or DiSalvo's Deli in Dayton, or large markets with an international food section, like Tops International or Jungle Jim's. Cities with large Italian populations (New York, Cleveland, Boston, Philadelphia, Buffalo) should have these in ample supply.
