    in the old Slavic tradition, 12 dishes appear on the table, and the additional cover was for the spirits of the ancestors. Fortune was told from the hay under the tablecloth - whoever pulls out the longest straw will have the best year

    Hello Rob, you have very nice jumper. Today on Christmas Eve we are going to have: fruit compote, krokiety with mashroom, pierogi, cabbage with mushroom, carp, mirin, cod, herring, mushroom in linseed oil, beetrot barszcz and sweet makowiec, sernik, miodownik. And it all together gives 12 dishes I think. Happy Christmas to Everyone ❤

    🎄 Piękna jest radość w Święta . Ciepłe są myśli o bliskich . Niech pokój , miłość i szczęście otoczy dziś nas wszystkich . Zdrowych Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia oraz dużo szczęścia w Nowym Roku 2025 życzę nam wszystkim.🎄 Jak nakazuje nasza polska tradycja wirtualnie dzielę się z Wami wszystkimi opłatkiem . Dla tych co nie wiedzą to tylko my Polacy mamy taką tradycję .Katolicy w Stanach nie znają tego i czasem przejmują od nas te piękną tradycje .🎄

    The lack of fish in tub is due to some law regulations banning selling living fish. Merry Christmas

    We have a very small celebration at home, so we stick to the tradition by counting things like bread, potatoes, butter, even salt 😅 we can’t otherwise stick to it and we want to - it’s just a fun tradition that reminds me of the family who’s no longer with us. Half of my family believes, half doesn’t, but those traditions have morphed from religious to cultural and family for us :)
    Merry Christmas, Rob!

    In Poland, we start the Celebration of Christmas, and we recognize St Stephens Day as the second day of Christmas. On Christmas Day we do loads of most dishes and other desserts. So the food is bountiful.

    Vodka is drunk on Christmas Eve in few Polish homes (and if so, it is rather a colorful flavored vodka or some fruit liqueur), if there is alcohol, it is rather wine or honey (Slavic alcohol based on honey, in Polish tradition has many types) or beer, e.g. mulled beer with cloves and other spices.

    I'd call myself fairly religious person, but my definition of Christmas is mostly: We all agreed to be happy in this time.
    As for the dishes, my family isn't that big so we stick to a 'modified' list of dishes, which I believe most people do nowadays, but there's always around 12 ^^

    Some dishes are associated with specific meanings related to events from the life of Christ. Others are simply tradition. It is important in Poland to eat Lenten dishes during Christmas Eve dinner. In total, if you count dried fruit compote (also a Polish Christmas Eve tradition) or starters and side dishes, a special sweet bread called challah - "chałka" (eaten on special days by Poles and Polish Jews, and now also Jews in Israel or in the USA in families of former Polish Jews) as a dish, then it is easy to reach a minimum of 12 traditional dishes, or even more than 20. For example:
    1 red borscht with "uszka" (tiny, extremely delicate and very tasty dumplings with forest mushrooms) or mushroom soup (from forest mushrooms) or turtle soup (traditional on Christmas Eve among Polish nobility, my grandmother ate it every Christmas Eve in her childhood, before the war)
    2. boiled sauerkraut with peas and cumin or boiled sauerkraut with forest mushrooms and cumin - - both dishes are very delicate, aromatic and tasty
    3. traditional vegetable salad with mayonnaise
    4-7. appetizers, additions to other dishes (such as pickled cucumbers, marinated plums, marinated (or in sweet marinade) pumpkin, specially prepared boiled beetroot with horseradish, spicy and delicious.
    8-9 - at least two types of herring from 2 aromatic groups: pickled and in oil dressing herrings (and there may be more) plus boiled potatoes in their skins
    10. carp in aspic or fried carp, or both
    11. Dried fruit compote
    12. challah- chałka
    14-18 - cakes and coffee, tea.
    And there may also be kutia (its base is wheat grains, honey, poppy seeds), delicate pasta with poppy seeds and honey as well as with nuts and almonds, other Christmas Eve fish, such as trout or pike (e.g., a dish called "pike in the Polish style", known since the 15th century, made in gingerbread spice), and of course cakes, such as gingerbread, poppy seed cake and cheesecake with raisins, nuts and almonds (traditional Polish Christmas cakes).

    About 10 years ago I decided to push stomachs to the nth and makes & eat as many dishes as we could muster at Wigilia. The white flag of surrender went up at the 9th dish. I've pared it back to 4 or 5 dishes now and that's manageable both in terms of time taken to prep, cook & serve the food but also in terms of the wasteline. There's a bit more room for Christmas lunch the next day as well and the whole experience is better

    I like how the captions spruced up the chef's speech at 1:15. What he actually said is more like "These dishes- there's actually twelve dishes, which according to some traditions, there's- there should be twelve dishes on the Christmas Eve table. Each dish corresponds to one month of the year." He doesn't actually mention the Last Supper at all.

    The Christmas Eve Supper has two restrictions when it comes to preparing it: There should be no non-fish meat, and there should be twelve dishes. The definition of what is a distinct "dish" is pretty loose, though - the three ways of preparing herring at the restaurant in the video are three separate dishes. There is no specific list of mandatory dishes, but some are common.
    Some form of carp is traditional, as you said yourself, through people seldom keep a live one in their bathtub for a few days before Christmas Eve. Some form of herring is common, as herring is widely available for purchase. Barszcz z uszkami is traditional. Some form of pierogi is traditional, typically with a cabbage and mushroom filling because that one is guaranteed to be meat-free. The dried fruit kompot is traditional, it's a drink. The list of twelve dishes includes dessert, so the poppy seed roll and kutia are traditional. That's seven.
    Some everyday recipes can be modified to be meatless for Christmas Eve. Meatless żurek, meatless gołąbki (cabbage leaves wrapped around a filling - the meatless filling tends to be kasha and mushrooms), meatless croquettes (crepe-wrapped filling). Some classic recipes are already meatless, like salad Olivier or coulibiac.
    There's also Greek-style fish (not sure if any Greek person has ever heard of it), there's stewed cabbage with pease, there's mushroom soup, there's multiple ways of preparing carp or herring, and you can say that the basket of sliced bread served on the supper table is a dish. There's more than twelve possibilities, so households could change their menu from year to year if they wanted - the lady at 7:21 wouldn't as she clearly has things figured out, but the option exists.
    It's kind of funny how the restriction to fish at most has shaken out. In medieval times, fish were common and land animals were more precious - hunting down a game bird or slaughtering a chicken were acts of luxury that your feudal lord could've been leery of, not to mention slaughtering pigs or cattle. The first crowned king of Poland, Bolesław the Brave, stressed the importance of fasting a lot, to the point of punishing fast-breakers by sending his men to knock their teeth out by force. The point was to be humble and refrain from luxuries - and now, in the modern day, some fish tend to be quite expensive, and yet there's no issue with slamming down a hunk of salmon on the Christmas Eve table - it's fish, so it fits within the restrictions.
