What Was Your Favorite Dish So Far This Holiday Season?

Ah, the Christmas time is definitely the time of the year where I eat way too much, haha. But it's hard to resist when you're having friends over and visiting family. Everybody wants to stuff you with food!

I've eaten many different holiday dishes this year but my favorite was my mother's. She made this lovely dough chicken roll filled with prosciutto, spices, and mozzarella - all baked in an oven. I licked my fingers afterward.

I think we all do. Eating is like our way of relaxing everything about us. We're happy around friends and loved ones. We don't worry about eating too much since it's just once a year.

The best part is getting to taste different dishes prepared by friends and neighbors. It's so fun to try their homemade meals.

I am also a fan of my mother's cooking skills. She makes amazing traditional dishes. She is not skilled at trying new recipes, but her traditional dishes will leave anyone satisfied. I also love my sister cooking skills. She always tries new recipes and also experiments with her cooking.

While I mostly hold a vegetarian diet throughout the year, the holidays are the one time that I make an exception so that I can enjoy the same dishes in unison with my family. Also not to offend my grandmother for her wonderful cooking, haha. One of my favorite holiday dishes is actually quite similar to what you wrote. It was something along the lines of a roll of chicken breast filled with cheese, red peppers, onion, and smoked ham. Cutting it open to see the cheese oozing out is a sight to behold.

You're telling me, brother! I was just scrolling through some of the posts here and stopped by to check on any updates. You're not the only one feeling this way. It is already April and I think that I still have some pounds tacked on from the holidays.

I haven't taken that combination yet, but now that you mentioned it, am starting to crave some pepper soup. Only wish I was back home...my mum makes the best pepper soup ever, plus the catfish makes it even more delicate.

Festive season here in my country Nigeria is the only one time when almost all differences be it cultural, traditional or religious are put aside and everyone celebrates together with one love. I only wish everyday could be a festive period forever in my very divided nation.

Sweet potato pie with graham cracker crust. I usually do the cooking for my family and friends over the holidays if I am not invited to attend elsewhere. The holidays are the only time where you can legit gorge yourself on food and drink and not feel guilty about it....And you should. Otherwise, you're insulting the cook and the company.

Oh man--sweet potato pie with a graham cracker crust! That sounds delicious. We did not have sweet potato pie this year, but we did have an amazing pecan pie. I think you are right in terms of eating at the holidays--if all of these people are getting together, hosting you, and endeavoring to cook for you, you should definitely eat their food and show them how much you appreciate their hospitality.

It is indeed. The trick to cooking sweet potato pie within a graham cracker crust - is to cook it at a certain temperature and not for too long. As graham cracker crust is of a different element, and browns a lot faster than regular pie crust. So over-cooking or over-baking it can ruin the crust and how it tastes mixed in with the pie.

You have touched my sweet side! I really enjoy having a pie for dessert, or in fact, as any meal. My favorite one is blueberry pie, we don't have blueberries in my country, so that's only in my memory so far. Pecan pie is also another no no, because pecans are not common either. But we have sweet potato, and I would love to cook a pie with it, so hit me with your best recipe, I will try my best to cook it.

I really like sweet potato pie also; but I have never had any with a graham cracker crust, and that does sound interesting. My favorite Christmas pie is mincemeat pie, but you can almost never find it anywhere now. It used to be that all of the store bakery’s carried it, and you could get the frozen ones and bake it yourself; but now, about all they have are the traditional pies like pumpkin pie and maybe blueberry or apple. I have seen the mincemeat mixes at the store, and just a small box of the mix is almost $5 , so it is just reall expensive to make mincemeat pie, I guess.

In my home, my nick name happens to be the eater of the house. My favorite meal during Christmas was chicken pepper soup and sauce with rice. Any Christmas I didn't get to eat this dish, that Christmas celebrations is yet to kick off for me.

How funny and awkward I crave this dish, I prefer it to be prepared by my grandmother because of the uniqueness in her cooking recipe. I can't seem to get enough of her meal and it pains me she is getting older by the day.

I love cooking and trying new recipes. sadly, this holiday season, I have not taken to my kitchen yet. I did not have time to cook. On the Christmas day, I worked through out the day, I had deadlines to meet. However, I might take a day off for the New Year. These year, I will be inviting a handful of guests. I am thinking to try Indian dishes. Briyani is in my mind. Has anyone eaten briyani? Briyani is a rice based dish.

Meals during festive seasons are always well prepared, this season you get to just go with all without any sentiment, but my favorite is fried rice and Turkey / Chicken it's my favorite. I can keep eating as much quantity not minding my tooth already aches.

Yeah it's okay to eat much this holidays because that's what I usually do and it's just once a year. But I think we should not ignore our health also. To do that, after eating I usually drink water or canned drinks with fiber to help digestion. Take exercise also every morning or any of your free time so you can sweat out that excess fat in the body, especially from meats. Another thing is to monitor blood pressure and blood sugar as well. Let us not also forget oral hygiene because we intake much sweets this Christmas.

And yes, festive season means eating season, but we should not reach the point of too much. God bless.

We always get out in the yard at my mom's house and make a bonfire--while food is cooking, we are also being very physically active--cutting wood, clearing things off, preparing the space, grabbing furniture, so we get a bit of a "work-out" as we set up dinner. I also go for early morning walks every day, no matter where I am, so that helps me to fight the holiday belly bulge. Either way, we have to find a balance during the holidays because our loved ones love to give us the gifts of food and harvest.

For this holiday season, my favorite dish is pork humba. Well, honestly, it is not just during this season, but for the whole year round.

Pork humba is a Filipino dish with pork as its main ingredient. I really don't cook, but I guess the key to successful humba is a tender meat that is fat dominant. It usually is cut into medium size chunks, then boiled by its own oil (could be added with a softdrink, usually Sprite) and then seasoned with black beans, salt, pepper and could also be mixed with pineapple chunks.

When we have family occasions, pork humba is always in the menu, and this christmas, it is number one in the list. It is usually the first dish to evaporate during meals, that is why I should say it is delicious.

I have never heard of humba before, but this looks and sounds delicious! Thanks for the image as well. I love pork, and here, in the South of America where I and my family are from, we pretty much flavor everything with pork. I grew up eating black eyed peas which were cooked in a huge pot all day with a hamhock thrown in. We would eat this with cornbread, and I still crave this simple meal all of the time.

Making a decision on which is the best meal that i've had so far this holiday season feels like climbing a mountain, I've had so much gone down my belly I can't say which is better. Let's give it a try.

To the left side of my building is caring mother of three kids. She made the most amazing traditional soup with marched wheat, a plate was given to me and i loved the four large piece of beef served with..hmmmm.

To the same left side of my building came a deep cooler filled with rice cooked with carrots and some coldslaw plus a huge piece of chicken. That was the second best meal of this season so far....

...I'll return with the rest on the list when i get them served from neighbours. I love christmas.

Rumu,
I think that it is really cool that you are so close to your neighbors and that everyone shares their hospitality in your building during the holiday season. In the neighborhood where I live here in America, it is not like that, and everyone just keeps to themselves and their own families in our neighborhoods. It would be nice if there was more of a sense of being connected to one another like you seem to have in your living space. If one of my neighbors came by with a meal for me, or invited me over to eat, I would be shocked, to a degree, but I would gladly accept and partake.

Well, our Christmas food is just delicious, we have traditional Hallaca (like a tamale filled with meat, chicken and pork), chicken salad, pork leg, and my favorite one... ham bread ( I love this one). We also have a very typical dish which is black cake, it requires you use a mix of fruits and liquors that have been under maceration during the whole year.

Hey JoeMilford, you have no idea how delicious these are! I thank God, for allowing me to enjoy all this food, and also with my parents and big family for company. These traditional dishes required hard work, cooking hallacas can take up to 3 days, black cake requires specific ingredients and preparation, pork leg takes 2 days to make sure it gets soft and smooth. You are welcome anytime, my family loves to get guests all the time, or as the song says: Be our guest! By the way, I do know how to cook all those dishes, and I hope I can keep the tradition to pass it to the little ones in the family.

I had some great slow cooked pork and flavored rice combination which was just heavenly. I loved it so much that I am now wanting to go back to that restaurant next month to have that dish again. At first I wasn't even all that convinced that the place was all that good since it looked too simple and the pay system was even a little bit rough around the edges, but once I tasted my dish I realized why they were able to do all that and still remain in business because their food was really just that good.

It's 2018 and Christmas is fast approaching, and I enjoy eating festive pork dishes come Christmas Season. One dish I like to cook is called Crispy Pata, it's a marinated pork leg, frozen and then deep fried until golden brown and crispy, hence the name "Crispy Pata". It's dipped in soysauce mixed with vinegar, onions, chillies and some sugar. It's a special dish often served on special occasions and during Christmas.

And so, if you ask me what was my favorite dish for the season, I would say all of them. It is because all the dishes prepared during Holidays are way more special and extraordinary. I do not know if it is because the event or it is just the tradition. But, I am not complaining, I am not really complaining, in fact that is one of the reason why I like Holiday Season very much.

My favorite dish this Holiday season is the Lengua in White Mushroom Sauce and Macaroni Salad. These are the dishes that I always come back to get some more because I never get tired of eating this. Lengua is actually a beef/pork tongue. If you think that's disgusting, think again because it's like you're eating a soft meat with a very delicious and creamy sauce with mushrooms in it which makes this dish a very delicious. Macaroni salad is made of macaroni with mayonnaise, ham, pineapple, raisins, and lots more. This is so addicting to eat. These are the 2 dishes that I always eat during this Christmas since they rarely do this and most of the time, they only do this during this season. You should try this. This is truly a recommended dish.

P.S.: Photos are not mine and it came from the internet. Not the actual food that I ate but this is the same food that I've eaten.

Macaroni salad is always a favorite of mine, and I always order it when it's available. I only hate it when I don't like the dressing they use but almost always I like having it around and it's especially good for me when I have it around the holidays because it goes very well with all the main dishes served as they all tend to be very heavy and having a light macaroni salad on the side can be a great complement.

I also always like just dining out during the holidays because I'm not one for traditions anyway so I don't really care that much if the meal is home cooked or if I'm home or eating at a restaurant during the holidays. What's more important is that I'm with the people I'm supposed to be with and the meal and place is only secondary.

I think that more and more people are dining out for the holidays these days--it might be more expensive, but you don't have to do dishes and clean up after a huge meal preparation. I think this is appealing to people, but a lot of people, like my sister, for example, are very traditional and want to have a home-cooked meal during the holidays. To me, that does not matter just as long as I am with people I love and care about, and I get to have the experience of being with my friends and family.

I think you are right--eating out can really be a waste of money, and, like you said, cooking can be fun and a way to bond with family members. We had a party last night and cooked everything at home, and today we are diving into the delicious leftovers. We were able to feed a lot of friends and family for cheap, but if we had gone out, especially with drinks, we most likely would have spent hundreds of dollars.

I like the good old fashioned chicken wings. Just put some well-cooked ones on a plate fresh from the oven. Add some gravy and mashed potatoes. Now that's a great holiday dish for me. Simple but memorable.

I'm sure it did. I feel like everyone loves Chicken. So many people eat it during festivities. It's usually the main course meal such as a whole cooked chicken. Makes me hungry thinking about it.

When it's Christmas season we always prepare a baked chicken dish called Chicken Tekken or Chicken which was debited and stuffed with different meats, chorizo and eggs. It's one of the holiday dishes here in the Philippines, sometimes it's also called Chicken Galantine.
