Having become acquainted a little with the New Year and Christmas traditions of old Europe, we decided to step overseas and talk about how Americans celebrate our favorite winter holidays.

Historically, the majority of the American population is Protestant or Catholic, so Christmas is celebrated as in Europe - from December 24 to 25. And, of course, this is the most main holiday. During the Christmas holidays, family and friends fly from different parts of America to celebrate this joyful holiday together. Just like in the movie Home Alone. On Christmas Eve, everyone gathers around a large table laden with all kinds of dishes.

Americans eat a lot and with pleasure, mainly beef and pork, much less often and not in all states - lamb. IN large quantities They eat traditional turkey, as well as chicken. But meat is a priority! This is perhaps the most main product in USA. In terms of popularity, only corn can compete with meat dishes. In areas bordering the ocean, fish or seafood are often prepared, some of which blend so much with the image of the cities that they even become their symbols. For example, in Boston it is lobster. The most favorite way to cook any food is barbecue. It's hard to find a family that doesn't have their own grill. This especially applies to “single-story” America.

There are all kinds of grills: from stationary ones on verandas and personal plots to portable ones that you can take with you to some event, for example, at a tailgate party - a special kind of picnic that can be arranged in absolutely any place, even on parking lot. People open the trunks of their cars (hence the name), take out their grills, cases of chilled drinks and relax culturally before going, for example, to a concert or game of their favorite team. Some people manage to “warm up” so thoroughly that they don’t even make it to the stadium :) They can also celebrate some other holiday this way: a birthday or Independence Day.

The list of dishes that Americans love and prepare is very extensive. Basically, it depends on what area you are in, and, accordingly, which country colonized this area. For example, in Louisiana the primary source would be french cuisine, in New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont) - British and Western European, in Florida - Spanish. For a modern kitchen big influence provided by Italy, Mexico, Thailand, Japan and China. Don't forget about the indigenous Indian population. As a result, an interesting phenomenon of American cuisine was born: on the one hand, it seems to not exist, on the other hand, it turned out amazing combination various cuisines of the world. Imagine that the peoples of different countries took and combined all the best that has ever been prepared anywhere...

But let's get back to Christmas... As already mentioned, this is a big family holiday. They begin to prepare for it ahead of time. This mainly concerns the bulk purchase of gifts. The start is given by “Black Friday” - the day after Thanksgiving Day - the fourth Thursday of November. At this time, a series of promotions and sales are taking place across America. In some stores, Black Friday shopping feels like fighting. People come in the evening, some with tents or at least folding chairs, waiting all night to rush to the opened doors in the morning.

Many people complain that in the pursuit of gifts, the “spirit of Christmas” has long been forgotten; they are trying to resurrect this spirit, making films for adults and children, trying to remind them that Christmas is not only a tree, a lot of gifts and an abundance of food. Before Christmas, many schools hold plays. Municipalities and residents themselves decorate streets and houses with bright lights. Catholic churches host nativity scenes dedicated to the birth of the infant Christ. Christmas trees are decorated everywhere, children hang socks for sweets (where naughty children can get coals instead of candies), the whole family makes garlands from popcorn, bakes gingerbread houses, and makes snowmen. And where there is no snow, for example, in Florida, they make “snowmen” out of sand. It would probably be correct to call them sandpipers :) And Santa Clauses are cutting through the waves on the surf...

The most popular dishes on the Christmas table are Christmas ham, Baked Beef, Steak and Turkey. Served as a side dish mashed potatoes(Mashed potatoes) or baked sweet potatoes (Roasted Sweet Potato Yam), as well as corn (Corn), green beans (Green beens) and asparagus (Asparagus). And if you want to become a friend and favorite of all children, then there is nothing better than burgers, tacos or burritos. Drinks in colder states include Eggnog, Tom and Jerry, or Mulled wine, which are especially good when returning from skiing or snowboarding. And in warm weather, they will sedately sip Pina Colada. And, of course, there will be an abundance of all kinds of sweets everywhere: pies, cakes, gingerbread cookies and sweets.

If Christmas is celebrated on a grand scale in almost every American family, then New Year is not particularly celebrated. Rather, it's just an excuse to have a drink and maybe go to a party. But if in New Year's Eve If you happen to visit New York and get to Times Square, you will be able, together with the crowd (most likely tourists), to count the seconds on a huge clock while one of the symbols of the city - the Big Apple - comes down. Most Americans simply go to bed on New Year's Eve, and those who do celebrate the New Year usually watch a report from Times Square on TV. However, in America there are also new year traditions: for example, making promises to do something next year - to go to Paris or quit smoking.

Burrito Burrito is a dish Mexican cuisine, born in Ciudad Juarez, located in the north of the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Literally translated, its name means “little donkey.” Where did it come from? One of the stories of Mexican legend says that a long time ago, a man named Juan Mendez sold food on the street. To keep food from getting cold longer, he came up with an idea: wrap it hot food in a tortilla, then the tortilla will help keep the heat inside. His new product was such a success that Juan had to buy a small donkey to deliver many tortillas at a time. People said, look "comida del burrito", that is, "food from a donkey." Since then, the word “burrito” has become the name of the dish.
Taco Frankly speaking, tacos, like burritos, are not specifically American cuisine - they also came from Mexico. However, just as shawarma (or shawarma) became an integral part of Russian fast food, so tacos became an integral part of first American and then our lives. What's the secret? In ease of preparation and versatility, as well as in original taste. We would like to introduce you to another classic American cocktail“Tom and Jerry”, without which Christmas in the USA is simply unthinkable, especially in the cold states. It owes its name to the literary heroes - troublemakers Jerry Hawthorne and Tom of Corinthian, invented by London journalist and writer Piers Egan back in 1821 (“The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq. and His Elegant Friend Corinthian Tom”). The names of the heroes became household names, as they began to call the English unruly youth, prone to fights and disturbing the peace. It is believed that these literary characters became the prototypes of the cat and mouse in the popular American cartoon series “Tom and Jerry.”
Pina Colada Pina Colada (Piña Colada Spanish) - everyone has heard the name of this cocktail, which is immediately associated with the warm Caribbean Sea, sun and beach, as well as siesta, fiesta and mañana in the best Spanish traditions. Delicious, aromatic, cooling and intriguing, the drink is a celebrity among cocktails, and has been the national drink of Puerto Rico since 1978. Its name means freshly squeezed, strained pineapple juice. Actually, that’s where it all started, and only then rum was added (what would it be like without rum in the pirate Caribbean!) and coconut cream. Click "Add to cart" and all products will be added.
