Christmas is celebrated by Christians, but also by non-believers who use Christmas as a social and believers who use Christmas as a social and family celebration. The book A Christmas story by Charles Dickens played an important role in role in the reinvention of Christmas in the 19th century, emphasising family, goodwill, compassion and family, goodwill, compassion and family celebration.
And whenever something is celebrated, especially with the family, it is always done around the table and with a more or less traditional and with a more or less traditional menu whose ingredients have a reason to be there, even if they can be reason for being there, even though they may be modified according to fashions and changes in customs.
Christmas is one of the most joyous celebrations of the year, and that is why it could not be celebration could not be any other way than with the best dishes that the area, the season and the possibilities of each house could offer. And although the reasons for of celebration may vary, the standard of quality in the products does not change.
Thus, the highest quality meat, fish and seafood have been and still are the typical typical ingredients in the houses at this time of the year. It was common to reserve the the best turkey, chicken or capon from the farmyard animals to form part of the the Christmas menu, and the same was true of fish and seafood in coastal areas such as ours. coastal areas such as ours.
