People gave apples to each other, and the apples they received were difficult to handle, so in addition to eating them, it was also popular to make other foods from apples, such as applesauce, apple pie, apple tarts, etc. However, even so, many apples will still be wasted, and that period is not the best time for apples to ripen, so it is still recommended that everyone try not to give apples as gifts, and celebrate in other ways instead. What to eat on Christmas Eve?On Christmas Eve, Christians often get together with their families to have a party or dinner. But the Christmas Eve dinner is not as sumptuous as that on Christmas Day. In addition to the Eucharist (unleavened bread and red wine), some other delicacies will also be prepared.1. Turkey Turkey is a common ingredient at Christmas. Usually at Christmas, families gather together for dinner, and roast turkey is an indispensable delicacy on the table. To make roast turkey, a large amount of fruits and vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, chestnuts, etc. are stuffed into the belly of a ten-pound turkey, and then a variety of spices are spread on the surface before being put into the oven for baking. 2. Gingerbread The most famous Christmas food in Germany is gingerbread, a small dessert between a cake and a biscuit. Traditional gingerbread is made with honey and peppercorns, and is sweet, spicy and stimulating in taste. The gingerbread has been improved and sprinkled with a layer of icing sugar, which not only makes it taste rich but also looks very pleasing. Many families make cute gingerbread men or gingerbread houses on Christmas Day to celebrate Christmas, which are both beautiful and delicious. 3. Almond pudding In many European countries, people like to eat almond pudding before Christmas dinner. When Christmas dinner begins, a portion of almond pudding must be eaten before anything else. Whoever can eat the only whole almond will be the luckiest person in the coming year. Usually adults will put this almond in the bowl of the youngest child to make them happy. 4. Log Cake The log-shaped cake is a famous French Christmas delicacy. Before the invention of electricity, the French gave a good firewood as a Christmas gift. The French are romantic by nature, and even the origin of their cuisine is romantic: Once upon a time there was a young man who could not afford to buy a Christmas present, so he picked up a piece of wood in the forest and gave it to his lover. Not only did he win her heart, but he also rose to prominence from then on. Therefore, log cakes have also become a symbol of wishing good luck in the coming year. Do you want to know your own Bazi?
