聖誕餐@波蘭人屋企/ Xmas dinner@Polish family

噚晚喺朋友屋企食聖誕餐, 早咗到, 佢哋乜都未準備好, 有啲尷尬. 聖誕樹仲係光脫脫. 於是幫手一齊掛裝飾.

Yesterday I had Xmas dinner in my friend's.  I arrived early.  They had not prepared anything, it was a little bit embarrassing.  The Xmas tree was still 'naked'.  So I helped them to decorate.

奧地利傳統係24號先裝飾聖誕樹,而棵樹會擺到2月頭. 我就見過有人一早買咗聖誕樹,然後吊喺露台.

It is Austrian tradition to decorate the tree on the 24th and keep it until early Feb.  I have seen that someone has bought a tree and hung it outside the balcony.

傳統樹上嘅裝飾有糖,蠟燭

Traditional decorations are candy, candles

同埋樹頂呢個裝飾(唔係用星星架)

and this thing on the top, they don't put a star.

睇吓棵樹幾靚

Look! How beautiful it is.

因為女主人係波蘭人, 佢整咗…

Because the female host is Polish, she has made...

波蘭紅湯Barszcz

Polish red beet soup, Barszcz

波蘭餃子Pierogi (薯蓉餡)

Polish dumplings, Pierogi, with mashed potato filling.

奧地利人聖誕係食魚,唔係火雞. 所以有呢碟炸魚配波蘭沙律. 我唔食魚嘅, 所以只係食小小.

Austrian have fish on Xmas, not turkey, therefore I had this deep fried fish with Polish salad.  I don't eat fish so I only had a little bit.

飯後甜品係奧地利嘅聖誕餅仔.

We had Austrian Xmas cookies for dessert

 

最後交換禮物. 奧地利冇Boxing day. 禮物係喺25號拆.
At the end, we exchanged gifts.  There is no Boxing day in Austria, gifts are opened on the 25th.

主人家咁早慶祝聖誕係因為佢哋要返鄉下(波蘭)過節.

The host celebrated Xmas so early because they will spend the holiday in their home country, Poland.
