The Feast of the Seven Fishes
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

We've been invited to a party tomorrow night, and we're having the 'traditional' Seven Fishes.

My family never had the seven fishes on Christmas Eve, but many of our Italian neighbors did. Apparently, a lot of people have never even heard of this.

This is my first time.

I've never had fried smelt or Baccala (salted cod fish) before. There will be variations of calimari, scungili, anchovies...

Anyone ever have this dinner?

I'm excited.

will you cry out to heaven? Will you lay down and die?

Not me, my dear ones. This is my sacred life. To no one or no thing I'll surrender.

For how does one know where when dead he will go, or if sweet mother Earth she'll remember?

Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support!

There are a couple items that make me a little nervous, never having had smelt or eel before ... but I'm a good sport and I'll eat anything.

This is an adventure.

They have ham and lasagna, too, mostly for the kids.

Like a crawfish boil?

I've been to one of those.

I love how they dump the crawfish and corn out onto the newspaper and we just dig in.

Re: The Feast of the Seven Fishes
Delicious!
I'm doing the shrimp and calamari for tomorrow nights feast.
Getting lazy though, had the seafood store clean the shrimp, all 4lbs of

The eels are great, I especially like smoked eel.
Most of the fishes served have to be good, lots of garlic,olive oil, lemon, red pepper flakes.

Cheers everyone!

You've got me even more excited now! I hope the eel is smoked, then. I've never eaten eel.

This particular family makes their own wine - I've had it - it's that Italian lambrusca style ... I can't wait.

I've never had this but I just heard about this last week.

Back home, we usually roast a whole pig over an open fire to go with our yellow rice and pigeon peas.

Delicious.
