I don't have favourite things I must have, but there are things I must avoid - like jellied cranberry sauce, dry turkey meat, and squash. Bitter, bitter vegetable of evil intent. It's at least better than Brussel sprouts though, I'll give it that much.
Oh, I lied! There are two that, over the years, I absolutely crave, two things I wait an entire year to have: borscht and pickled herring. And don't "eww" at me. They're both wonderful. They're part of the Christmas Eve tradition in the Polish Catholic household of a friend of mine, and for years I've been fortunate enough to be invited along for the celebration as a member of the family.
So, this Christmas Eve, and every one until time stops, it's beet soup and pickled fish for me - and I'll love every bite of it.
