Holiday Food!

Many blogs, and even our blog, have been doing posts about Christmas food. But December is not only for Christmas there is also: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, St. Lucia Day and many more. So then why are there so many Christmas recipes and so little other holiday food? I don’t know, but it isn’t about taste because they all taste good. There is also a large variety in the foods, so you could have Christmas food one day, and Hanukkah food the next. While I am not Jewish I will try my best to accurately talk about Latkes, and if I say something that is wrong please feel free to correct me. But Latkes are strips of potato that are fried in oil and then served as a savory or sweet dish. The oil that the potato is cooked in is symbolic of the oil that kept the flame burning in the Second Temple. Latkes, when served as a dessert can be served with: honey, sugar, apple sauce, syrup, nutella and many other things. When served savory some toppings include sour cream, cottage cheese and numerous others.  I am just trying to spread a little holiday equality, and I hope that I did so accurately.
