Fruitcake is the obvious and justifiable answer, but it really can be good! Just not when it is made with weird glowing candy fruit instead of real fruit. My least favorite is those big blue-tin Danish Butter Cookies that people bring in from office supply stores. Too stale and bland! I just posted a sugar cookie recipe that I think is pretty much the opposite - chewy, not too sweet, and a bit of salt.

Definitely mincemeat pie! What the @%$# is mincemeat anyway? And I would also like to know what Pfeffernuse is, I have heard of it but don't know exactly what it is

I love Xmas pud, fruit cake and mince pies. Some of the other things I'm not sure what they are and/or don't associate them with Xmas

BTW, only Americans ever dislike fruitcake - as a Brit I find that puzzling

reply
EMT to alun.pa... 2012/12/20 18:58:58

Don't be puzzled, look up fruitcake on Wiki and read there about the fruit cake recipes among the various countries, and you will see the difference of the way it is made in the US which is not as appealing as many other countries. It's really no puzzle ;)

I don't think Americans like citron, my sister makes a fruitcake that is mostly nuts, some figs and dates, and everyone seems to like it.

Danish Butter Cookies

I actually really like most fruitcakes. Except for the cheap ones, they are horrible rocks. My grandma used to make one from scratch that was just amazing. I had to look up what Pfeffernusse were. They are German cookies loaded with spices and rolled in confectioner's sugar. I'd give it a shot. Never had Christmas pudding or Mincemeat pie.

But they are fruit, not meat. I think they had meat in several centuries ago. They may use meat fat, but that applies to any baked goods.

Second should was Green Bean Casserole.
As far as Fruitcake... In the 60s was able to orde so good Fruitcake and then there was mom's homemade cake. That was good. She did not use that fake candied fruit in the cakes today.

Xmas pud is the same thing as plum pud, although people no longer use plums in them. To me that is the one Xmas dish I can't go without.

My Mom made the best fruit cake. Old family recipe but the big secret was making it early and storing it cool and moist with a good booze. Almost pure fruit and nuts soaked in booze, just enough cake to hold it together. I think it is time to revive the tradition.... for next year. Needs 5 months to steep properly.

Being French Canadian she made a tourtiere or Quebec pork pie for after Midnight Mass. I don't think that is one I will revive.

Never had green bean casserole let alone for Christmas.

'Cause I hang with angels. Ambrosia makes them barf, and then you can't tell which is which.
