This is a very UK based question but would anyone mind sharing what they consider normal food to be served after a funeral or wake? As an example, every one I have attended has triangle cut sandwiches, filling immaterial & tiny sausage rolls. I know this is an odd question but I’m trying to work out if my experience is based on my family or is similar by geography. (this is for research, I’m not currently planning a funeral!) Thank you in advance for your time. #Food #Foodways #FoodFolklore

Ceremony of the Yule Candle in the Yorkshire Dales:12 candles were lit on Xmas Eve & the household would hold them alight for 10 minutes. Then all but one were blown out, the remaining candle was left to light the cutting of the cheese. All the family were given a piece of Christmas cheese & a Yule Cake (a fruited spiced drop cake, like a rock cake) The candle was alight for the rest of the night. #Folklore #FoodFolklore #Foodways #FestiveFoodFolklore #FestiveFolklore @folklore -

Iceland has so many wonderful Christmas traditions however some people are less fond of one of their more famous ones. Fermented skate is traditionally eaten on 23 December also known as ‘Þorláksmessa.’ On this day the shops stay open later and it is a tradition to share this delicacy with family & friends. It is definitely an acquired taste but is one that very good for clearing the sinuses.

During the Middle Ages, rosemary was spread on the floor at Christmas because it repelled evil spirits. The scent drifted through the home and It was said that anyone breathing the fragrance on Christmas Eve would receive happiness during the coming year. I would love if this could happen in my home but I feel modern practicalities might reduce my enjoyment & the cat would eat too much of it.

Right, now time to be nosy 😋. Do people here celebrate Solstice with special foods (either as part of a spiritual practice or just because)?

Yule is derived from the old name for the Solstice, associated with the ancient figure of the Green Man, who represents rebirth. His symbol is the boar & a boar’s head was traditionally served on a bed of greenery on Midwinter Day. However some believe celebrating with a boar’s head is from a pagan tradition to honour Freyr, Norse god of the harvest & fertility. The Victorians made them from cake which wasn’t quite the same.

St. Thomas Eve was once one of a number of nights for divination. A popular ritual was to peel a “St. Thomas Onion”, stick it with 9 pins & put it under your pillow, hoping that you would dream that night of your future husband. A more determined form of the ritual was to cut the onion into four, whispering over the segments the name of the one you hoped/expected to propose. #Folklore #FoodFolklore #Foodways #FestiveFoodFolklore #FestiveFoodways #FestiveFolklore @folklore -

As well as being naturally dressed in festive colours, it is believed to bring good luck if you eat an apple on Christmas Eve. Also If you slice an apple in 1/2 on Xmas day and it reveals a star, you will have health & happiness for the year ahead. Some also believe you can use the pips on St Thomas Eve to foretell a wedding.
