LOL that's even worse!!! Fish jelly!!! Oh man that makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it.

Hmm... Traditionally I used to have stuffed grape leaves with fresh polenta and sour cream topping (to die for...), roast turkey, pork sausages and, are you ready for this???... a dish called 'piftie' which is made from pig hocks, tails and ears boiled for a long time in water with verggies and lots o' garlic. Then the entire content of this boil goes into deep bowls and gets refrigerated so it turns into a jelly like dish with chunks of meat. While it really sounds horrible, the taste is quite appealing. Now, for the texture...

Anyway, tradition also dictates that we party from about 9pm until the wee hours of the morning, after which we eat soured chicken soup, which is a good cure for hangovers (I know, another thread...)

After that, comes lunch time, repeat everything from the beginning!!

Oh, I forgot, there are a lot of desserts, wines and coffee going around.
