Many people in France put up a Christmas tree, visit a special church service, eat an elaborate meal and open Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. However, special Christmas meals are also popular. Dishes may include:
- Rabbit terrine.
- Brouillade de truffes (omelet with truffles).
- Roasted capon (a small bird).
- Salad, peas, green beans, carrots and potatoes.
- Aigo-boulido (garlic soup).
- Papillottes (small chocolate candies wrapped in shiny paper).
Many people spend Christmas Day quietly and some attend a special church service. Popular activities also include walking in a park or the countryside and sharing a meal with family and close friends.
Val says Not unlike us really, although I see no mention of turkey and stuffing, parsnip and sprouts, essential in my book for Christmas Day.
