In Finland, we still eat a lot of vegetable dishes at Christmas time.In the old days, vegetables were grown on their own or were inexpensive to buy. Nowadays foreign dishes are popular. However, Emily´s family has traditional Christmas dishes.
Äidillä on ollut kiirettä. Musiikkihuoneen huonekaluja piti laittaa toisenlaiseen järjestykseen, sillä huoneeseen piti tuoda sivupöytä ruokia varten.
Mother has been busy. They had to move the piano into an other corner because they had to bring a side table for the food.
Isä on jossain ja muu perhe odottaa häntä päivälliselle.
Father is somewhere and the family members are waiting for him for dinner.
Isä on saapunut. He voivat aloittaa ruokailun nyt.
Dad has arrived. They can start eating now.
La madre ha trabajado mucho preparando esa maravillosa mesa.¡Bonita escena!
VastaaPoistaYes, she has and everybody are happy about that.
PoistaIt's good to keep family Christmas traditions alive, especially when it comes to favourite foods. Vegetables are not only Delicious, but they're good for you, and Emilia appears to be a Very Good cook!
VastaaPoistaWe Finns have been criticized for our Christmas dishes, among other things. We eat "bad vegetables" even though the world is full of much tastier delicacies. Yes, but our traditional foods come from a time when Finland was an agricultural country. The best thing about that is that vegetables are quite cheap and easy to cook.
PoistaThank you for your kind comment.
