We're going to continue our discussion of family traditions today. Yesterday, Kourtney said: "Family traditions are what your family does that is different from most families. The special things that bonds your families together." Using Kourtney's definition, let's discuss specific traditional food items that are unique to your family.
In your explanation, provide a brief description of the food item, when it's served, who generally makes it, etc. Then, respond to at least one other classmate's response. To receive full credit, your responses have to include the person you're referring to and some sort of CONSTRUCTIVE response.

Yesterday, I discussed how my grandmother traditionally makes anise seed cookies at Christmas time.
Another food item that you'll traditionally find at my family functions is lasagna. But this is no ordinary lasagna...this is my Grandma Theresa's lasagna recipe. And what makes this different than other lasagna...well, besides her secret sauce, my grandmother also includes slices of hard boiled eggs in the layers of her lasagna. When most people hear this, they get totally grossed out, but let me assure you, it's delicious and I love that this is an authentic Italian recipe.
My family loves food, and you'll find us all in the kitchen hovering around the oven waiting for the lasagna to cook. Not only do we hang out in the kitchen waiting for it, it's all the anticipation building up to eating it. And then as we're eating it, we're talking about how delicious it is and we are complimenting my grandmother.
my family usually serves potato salad every holiday its is really good and my grandma makes it all the time
During Thanksgiving my mom makes a turkey she my grandparents brings some sort of salad and my aunts and uncles bring deserts and drinks.
My family is polish so theres always weird food, like perigoes and polish sausage. Stuffed cabbage to, with like special stuff they put in that u usually dont when making it. Every christmas we have this butter shaped like lamb and i always get the head and my sister kate gets the butt :).
last year my grandma made her amazing mac and cheese that goes good with the other food and everyone loves the mac and cheese cause its my grandmas favorite food to make for us cause we all love it
Dakota...what's unique about the potato salad?
Liz, who shapes the butter to look like a lamb?
my family for thanksgiving we all ways make all kinds of different things like patatoes with lots of stuff in them like cheese and stuff and turkey we cook it in grease whiche is delicious :D
Jarod...what's unique about it?
my grandmother does, she has a mold and it like has to sit for 4 hours or somthing.
Devin...pick one dish that is unique in some way and explain it
my grandmas mac and cheese is homemade and thats why its so unique
Liz, wow, I've never heard of that before. Very cool!
my family doesn't have any traditional food thats made at holidays but there is this one food called mama K junk apparently its a passed down recipe and its actually simple to make its sausage,milk noodle and cream of mushroom soup all mixed to gather its pretty good.
i know right, now im hungryy
Kieran -- that's exactly the kind of recipe I was looking for!
Every holiday or other get together my mother makes delicious home made fried chicken. This chicken is unique because it's a recipe passed down through the family. As a side we sometimes get mashed potatoes covered with gravy.
matysak... it is really good so time on holiday she puts food coloring in it to the holidays color it is the best potato salad you would ever have there are a couple cook books that have some of my grandmas recipes in and that is one of the recipes
Autumn Spence, my mom&& grandmother make banana bread, pies, cakes, ham, ect. all that good stuff.
Every Christmas we have my moms special butter pecan pudding:P It is the best
Kyle...so are the ingredients secret?
Kieran that sounds so good
we make mashed patoes with cheese and baken and lots more in it that is everyones favorite
Autumn -- butter pecan pudding...I've never heard of that before...how does she make it?
My family is Italian/polish, so my on holidays or special days, they always make homemade pizza, noodles, and sausage. Nobody goes home hungry. It's very good! :D
Dakota..food coloring in potato salad...so what's it could be like blue?
mm lets bring in all this yummy sounding food so we can make sure your not lying about it being good:)
Something in my family that is unique is my aunt always makes apple squares for gatherings or holidays. My great grandma was the original maker, but she died. The recipe got passed on to all of my family, but what is special is my aunt makes them all the time.
On christmas eve I always go to my aunt carries house and she makes alot of things, like turkey, pumpkin pies,and all other kinds of pies.Its really good.
blue patato saled :D
Matysak... yes its looks kool
anonymous...where's the unique dish?
One food item that my family traditionally eats is my grandmothers recipe for Ht Potato Soup. Its very special because my grandmother includes Polish sausage, salt, pepper, and many other spices. But it is never to spicy.
Sometimes she even includes dumplings(but only occasionally because I don't really like it like that). But it is one of my families favorite food.
My family usually goes over to my grandma's house so we usually have cranberry sauce, corn, turkey gravy, and a lot of other food, and its really good.
sounds good to : D D
Mrs. Matysak, not really but its tough to replicate the way she cooks the chicken. Family members from the other side of my family cant even come close to the taste and crunchiness of my mother's chicken.
Devin-- Blue potato salad? Haha, that sounds cool looking!
Autumn Patrick - where's the unique family dish?
Kyle just used a purple word: replicate
Judy Fritter
For thanksgiving my family gets together at my aunt Connie's house to eat ham a lot of other food , and then in the evening we go to my aunt Charity's mom's house for dinner and have pretty much the same thing that we have at aunt Connie's. This is so unique because we get to spend time with family that we don't spend a lot time with.
Judy...is there a particular dish you have that is unique to your family?
she uses chocolate pudding, butter pecan ice cream, and marshmellows. its is amazing!!!! :P
Autumn Spence

I love this jello think my grandma makes too. It tastes like whipped orange sherbet.
mmatysak- turkey gravy. There is turkey in it, and some other stuff that i cant remember my dad said was in it.
autumn spence... that sound really good
Mrs. Matysak, my aunt makes that jello thing also! Is it like orange, pink, and blue in layers?
Angel Smith, Every christmas my family has my aunt Sindy,s deviled eggs. She cuts the eggs in half the takes out the middle. Mashes the middle and puts it back in the egg and puts 3 different spices on top. Her deviled eggs are really good.
Autumn Spence, thats sounds flavorful.
