Dominican Holiday Traditions
This will be my 14th Christmas in the DR. I have sampled all the foods you have shown several times. I was just making a comment on how good they looked. Nothing more.
Some of the dishes we have tried have been fantastic. Some not my cup of tea but overall the food and drink here are very good.

Seeing as the weather will be crappy for at least 2 more days, tomorrow will be Christmas tree day. I will make my own eggnog as a tree can not go up without some nog. The stuff they sell here in the Tetra pack is horrible at best so I will research goggle to see what I can make with my limited supplies. If it's any good I will pass on the recipe.
The link at the start of the thread contains a couple of recipes for eggnog.
"Traditions vary according to family customs and economic limitations. But as a rule, gifts are only given to the children of the family." Great custom!

On the night of the 23rd, mi suegra, mi cuñada, y yo make pasteles for the 24th. Her recipe is better than Amable.
Pasteles and ensalada Rusia are the only constants. Often a pork is roasted but not always. One year she made battered calamari, which was also delicious.
New Years is always lasagna.
