This one is pretty easy for me. Usually by Christmas all of the family (extended included) is sick of turkey and ham so we traditionally have 'other' food. Last year it was hamburgers. The year before was Mexican; we have also had Italian and breakfast all day. That being said here are a few traditional holiday foods I don't like: not a big fan of ham (neither is my immediate family), fruitcake is nasty (I have even tried making my own), I don't like eggnog or gingerbread (though it is fun to build with), no oyster stew for me nor prime rib and please don't bring me any figgy pudding.
Our traditional Christmas morning breakfast (I hope this is not a topic later, because you will be rereading it if it is...haha): Cinnamon rolls, chocolate milk for Elexis, orange juice for the hubsters, and decaf coffee for me. I usually go for the cinnamon rolls in a can, this year I think I will make them from scratch.
I have never tasted figgy pudding...doesn't even sound appealing does it? But the rest of those things your listed I love. If someone sends you a fruitcake you can re-gift it my way. I love fruitcake!
ReplyDeleteI've never had figgy pudding either, so I really don't know if I like it. I don't like fig newtons, so I guess I associate it with that taste. I will definitely send you all fruitcakes. :)
DeleteYippee! I hope you get a few. :)
DeleteOh, I love gingerbread! I don't like eggnog!
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of gingerbread, but I'm not a big fan of ginger. Eggnog smells disgusting. When I worked at Starbucks, we had the eggnog latte. It was loud and it smelled so gross.
DeleteOMG I love gingerbread. I did have a fruit cake once that I liked, but I have no idea where it came from or if somebody made it... No idea. I know it didn't have a lot of the candy fruit bits and the ones it did have weren't all old and chewy. *shrugs* Not a fan of ham, either... though I could eat turkey just about every day. lol
ReplyDeleteI am now on a quest to find a good fruitcake recipe. I like sliced ham on a sandwich okay, but Elexis and my husband; not so much. Needless to say, we eat a lot of turkey sandwiches.
