Norwegian Christmas Foods

Good morning,

On Monday, December 23, Kjell spent most of the day preparing foods that we will enjoy with family on December 24.  Of course, we had to sample a little of it on the 23rd. 

Starting at the top of the image is Jule Ribbe.  It's pork belly with skin on that has been prepared with spices and baked so that the top/skin is extra crunchy.  Moving clockwise, next is red cabbage, then a boiled potato, and three pork meat cakes that are seasoned to perfection.  In the center is white cabbage. 

This evening for Christmas Eve, December 24, these items will grace our table as well as lamb leg and a variety of side dishes all made by Catherine.  What a wonderful Christmas dinner we will have tonight!

What are the traditional Christmas foods for your family?

Merry Christmas!
Lois
