Christmas Meal

This happens on Christmas Eve evening – there’s no particular food-related tradition for Christmas Day, other than to eat lots of it. The Christmas meal is vegan (as is the whole of Christmas Eve) and will include dishes like roasted peppers, a big pot of beans, winter salad, different kinds of dips, sarmi, a bread made without milk or yeast and a special compot made from figs and other dried fruit. It’s very important that there’s an odd number of these dishes and, after the meal, they should be left on the table overnight so that departed relatives can eat too.
