Cristmas Eve Danish/Swedish Style - Many of you would say Ugh at our selection of food for Chrismas Eve but when you grow up with it you love it and look forward to it - We start off with pickled wine cured herring, Roll mops, achovies and hard boiled eggs with hardtack, then progress to a series of cold cuts like headcheese, liver pate, salami and others accompanied with Danish pickles. This year I made a wonderful salad of Apples and broccoli by Kizzie (great) Ending the dinner with Grapes and asssorted cheeses. So here are a few photo

Everything looks sooooooooooo yummy! My company arrived early so I didn't get pictures until there had been a few nibbles.

I had planned to make a hot caramelized onion dip but switched to a cold one instead.

Bergy, that is an awesome looking meal. I would have loved it. I made stuffed shells for my vegetarian step daughter and lasagna for everyone else. I totally spaced on taking pictures and the shells were pretty!

Oh wow everyone! All your photos are beauties!

Ahmafor, love those photos, that apple and pear salad is calling my name.

Bergy, love the way you set up your table and the series of photos. I want to have a taste of your cheese course . Christmas Day dinner looks delish even in that light ;). I love the plated photos.

racrgal wow! your table is stunning! I love the appie photos too! But can't get over that gorgeous table. You sure have an eye for decorating.

I feel so silly here cause I forgot to take photos of our Christmas lunch. It's just me and my dad so I don't dress up the table and such but would have been great if I got a photo of the plated food. I did take photos while we were BBQing the chicken so I'll see which ones came out good and share some of them later on. Since we BBQ'ed a whole chicken with intentions of eating leftover breast as sandwiches I am making some bread using one of Bea's recipes. It's currently on it's first rise.
