Xmas food fayre from around the world! Germany japan eastern europe In many Eastern European countries it is tradition to eat a candle lit meal on Christmas eve, signifying the end of the pre-Christmas fast. The meal consists of twelve meat-free dishes, representing the twelve Apostles. Fish and grains are popular menu choices but each country has their own specialities. Poppy milk, made by repeatedly soaking and crushing poppy seeds over several days is a popular accompaniment. Fish dishes tend to include herring or carp and are often accompanied by pickled mushrooms, fried potatoes or sauerkraut.
