Re ee Slee ~ Feasts Play Favourites Throughout the World As much a part of Christmas as Santa Claus are the holiday dinner, the candies, cookies and cakes, the pies and puddings. Almost -mas in Hawaii. Menu for a tradi- tional dinner in a Polynesian fami- ly might be: roast pig, prepared in an imu, a covered rock oven; every country in the world has con-| gray-brown poi; raw salmon, with tributed its own culinary heritage to the celebration. Turkey and all the trimmings have become traditional in Ameri- ca, and other countries have their 'Own menus for the Christmas feast. - Belgium and Holland have spe- cial cake and sweets for St. Nich- olas season. The Letterbanket is baked in the form of letters so that 'one may order his name in cake. Hrazipan candies once made only} in the shape of hearts, now come in many forms. An Italian Christmas feast might include Capitelli -- white meat or chicken and pork chopped and mixed with eggs and spices, en- cased in an inch-high dunce cap of moodle dough or Capitoni, made from fried eels. 'What Austrians Eat Characteristic foods of Austrians 'at Christmas, say Americana En- .cyclopedia researchers, are frucht- brod, a cake made of raisins, cur- rants, chopped figs and dates and served hot; chopped and baked -earps; beef, vegetables and beer. ~ On Christmas Day in Hungary -the family sits down for a roast 'goose dinner. ~ Instead of turkey, Norwegians have Christmas porridge, codfish, 'roast ribs of pork, pickled pork,' and sometimes a barbecued young pig, with an apple in its mouth, and-paper frills upon its ears. Mince pie is an old English cus- tom. It represents a compound of the choicest products of the East and symbolizes the gifts of the 'Wise Men to the Christ Child. An- other national Christmas dish in England is the famous plum pud- ding. ~ After the Portuguese return from the Missa do Galo, the Midnight Mass, the grownups gather at the table for a huge Christmas~break- | fast of hot chocolate, sweets and ege cakes. "The Finns serve a Christmas des- Sert made of rice, according to edi- tors of The Book of Knowledge. The rice is boiled in milk and served with cream topped with sugar and cinnamon. An almond is put into the large dish of rice and the diner "who is lucky enough to get this al- vinegar and herbs; island .spinach cooked in coconut milk; and pickled pineapple. Dessert might be passion-fruit pie -- -tangy-tart yet sweet, topped with macadamia- nut ice cream. In Sweden as family, guests and household servants assemble, each person sticks a piece of bread on a fork and dips it into a-kettle of pork and sausage drippings. Ac- cording to tradition, this bread is eaten for luck before the 'feast be- gins. | n lecents Tell Story Of "Silent Night' Stories and legends surround most of the modern ways of cele- brating Christmas -- and. some- times there is more than one ver- sion of a story -- such as the story of "Silent Night" and how the song came to be written. Joseph Mohr, village priest of Hallein, Austria, wrote the words, and his organist wrote the music, probably adapted from a melody by Michael Haydn. On this point, most sources seem to be agreed. What inspired Father Mohr to write the words is another story -- or another two stories. One version, say researchers for The Book of Knowledge, is that Father Mohr was called out into the snow on Christmas Eve of 1818, to bless a newly born baby in the home of one of his poorest parish- ioners. He was so filled with the spirit of the season and the simple beau- ty of the mother and infant that when he returned to his study he -wrote- the poem, "Silent Night." | Before Christmas Day was over, his organist had written the music. Other versions have it that the church organ had broken down | (impaired by mice, one -- story ,says), and the people were sad- dened because there would be. no jmusic *or Christmas Day. Shortly before Christmas, Father Mohr wrote his poem and Organist Gru- mond will, legend says, be espe-, ber the music. ; Cially favored in the coming year.
