I have a large panettoni from my Italian deli, yum yum also the turkey is on order from the butcher ready to be picked up on Monday :)))))
People might complain about England but we sure know how to do a christmas dinner :))))))
We'll certainly have a white Christmas here in the northeastern part of the USA. I live in southeastern New York State, about an hour's drive out of Manhattan, and we've got a good 4-5 inch ice-capped base on the ground, and with the short days and low temperatures it's not going anywhere for a while. I'm just hoping that we get no significant snow or ice between today and Christmas Eve, so our weekend trip up to the Albany area to visit family and friends there is smooth and easy. Last year we nearly got stuck at my brother's house when a blizzard blew in unexpectedly - we got out of hs house, down the snow-covered windy country road and back to the hotel just in time.
Merry Christmas to all my fellow posters here at PF - and a very Happy New Year, too!

my God, if there was an award for the greatest moaner/complainer on these forums , then you'd get the Gold medal ! :o)
why not do the traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner ....... apart from fish, there will also be barszcz with dumplings , pierogi stuffed with potato and cheese or cabbage and mushrooms amongst other dishes, so you don't have to eat fish if you don't like it :o)
there's nothing to stop you having a traditional English Christmas Day ..... surely you can find some turkey, goose or other meat substitute for your Xmas dinner on 25th !
there's a good saying .... 'when in Rome, do as the Romans'; whilst you are in Poland, try and take part in the Polish traditions ....... isn't that part of living in a different country .... experiencing the culture and traditions ?

no thank you I want turkey , chester, panetonni , wine , just got my own panetonni to take with me to the x mas meal just in case they dont have it.

Sorry folks but Im with zion on this one, no turkey at xmas, its like not having chocolate at easter!

So you reckon all the Polish in England will be forgetting their Polish traditions, after all, when in Rome!

The turkey in England doesn't taste like turkey anymore, over here its great i mean awesome.
If you mean that mass produced rubbish that you can buy from tescos I agree, but if you mean the lovely bird Im getting off my butcher then you are wrong...

All meats seem to be more flavourful, more natural in Poland.

True enough... only ever had one good steak in Warszawa. Others tended to be like thin strips of leather. Never tried lamb there.

I found some frozen lamd in Auchen (Asda equivalent) and thought great ill take this home and have a roast. Tough as old boots, I do miss a good joint of lamb. the Poles dont eat it at all, probably explains the poor quality.

Poles dont eat it at all
Mother in law never ate it while she was here in Canada... Father in law liked it though. Żona is not a fan either. Must be an acquired taste.
around -3 right now was down to -7 last night
We got down to -10 at 4.30 this morning

Absolutely not ...... but the beauty about a Polish Christmas is that it is celebrated on Christmas Eve, which allows everyone to partake of the traditional English turkey dinner on Christmas Day .... so in anglopolish families everybody can be kept happy :o)))
We have always tried to maintain Polish traditions living in England, but we also keep the English traditions alive and well :o)))
