trinidadian pastelles were thought to come from the original spanish settlers in the 15th + 18th centuriesāsome argue it was brought even earlier by the amerindians that first discovered + inhabited the island #happyfoodmas #avaeats
pastelles are a sign of the holidays for trinidadians. theyāre as popular as roti, doubles + pelau.

Christmas just isnāt Christmas in Colombia without natilla and buƱuelos. Natilla is Spanish for custard. BuƱuelos, deep fried cheese fritters, are served along side it.

šš¾šš¾šš¾šš¾Holas! Itās #HappyFoodmas time people! @avaeats took us to the Philippines last night. Tonight we go to Mexico for pozole.
Pozole is traditional Mexican soup or stew dish often served during celebrations, Christmas and New Year's.
#HappyFoodmas
#HappyFoodmas
Pozole which means hominy, originates from Nahuatl and quite the history.
The hearty stew is often made with hominy or corn kernels and pork. It can be red or green in color depending on the type of chiles used in the base.

lithuanians make the journey not so much for the meal, but for the sacred ritual of kÅ«Äios, bringing everyone closer + strengthening family ties.
if a family member died that year or canāt attend for a serious reason, an empty place is left at the table..

a plate is still placed on the table + a chair is drawn, but no spoons, knives or forks are set. a small lit candle is placed on the plate during the mealāitās believed the spirit of the deceased member participates in the kÅ«Äios along with everyone

while doing my research on christmas traditions around the world, the christmas fried chicken was a pleasant surprise. as i went down the rabbit hole of fried chicken in japan, i found two very different explanations of its connection to christmas.

in 1970, takeshi okawara was the manager at the first KFC in japan. he overheard foreign customers talking about how much they missed christmas turkey, + that night, the āparty barrelā at christmastime came to him in a dream.
