We're going to continue our discussion of family traditions today. Yesterday, a student said: "Family traditions are what your family does that is different from most families. The special things that bonds your families together." Using this definition, let's discuss specific traditional food items that are unique to your family.
In your explanation, provide a brief description of the food item, when it's served, who generally makes it, etc. Then, respond to at least one other classmate's response. To receive full credit, your responses have to include the person you're referring to and some sort of CONSTRUCTIVE response.

Yesterday, I discussed how my grandmother traditionally makes anise seed cookies at Christmas time.
Another food item that you'll traditionally find at my family functions is lasagna. But this is no ordinary lasagna...this is my Grandma Theresa's lasagna recipe. And what makes this different than other lasagna...well, besides her secret sauce, my grandmother also includes slices of hard boiled eggs in the layers of her lasagna. When most people hear this, they get totally grossed out, but let me assure you, it's delicious and I love that this is an authentic Italian recipe.
My family loves food, and you'll find us all in the kitchen hovering around the oven waiting for the lasagna to cook. Not only do we hang out in the kitchen waiting for it, it's all the anticipation building up to eating it. And then as we're eating it, we're talking about how delicious it is and we are complimenting my grandmother.
On my moms side of the family we make an animal that we love out of rice crispies, Marshmallows, Chocolate bars, and cinnamon buns as the feet. i know no one does this because who does something as strange and as good as this.
one food tradition that my family does is my mom and grandma cook up delicious popey seed chicken they take regular chicken cook it and put it on the bottom of the pan then i think they take some sort of soup and cover the chicken then they take regular plain crackers smoosh it up and put it over the whole thing and then put some popey seed on it. It is very very good!
Our tradition food is either turkey or ham and thats during christmas. My mom or my grandma makes the dinner. My mom cooks some of the stuff and my grandma cooks the rest.
My family has two food traditions that appear at every get-together. The first one, is mud pudding. It's the white part of the ore cookie mixed with cream and crushed up ore cookies in it all mixed together. it's so delicious. The next food is potato casserole. There is cheese, potatoes, sour cream all layered on top of each other. then it is all topped off with Corn Flakes which gives it a mouthwatering crunch. I want some now!!!!
chance need more description but other then that good
Jordan...YUM!
Our traditional food is a a recipe that my great great grandfather came up with. it got carried down through the family tree. My grandpa makes it every year at christmas and other special occations. It has beans, bacon, and a bunch of other special spices. They are called bootleggers. Well i think that is how it is spelled i think.
my family usually makes peanut butter treats from regular peanut butter melted on a skillet with a whole bunch of sugar and it is amazing. its simple and fast.

in christmas my family makes weird food. for one, all the men chip in and buy a goat. they then butcher it and they cook on the grill. the ladies also make tamales of different flavors. i know this sounds nasty but it taste good when we add special flavoring.
jon - yum!
One dish I always look forward to during Christmas time is my gramma's chicken and noodles on mashed potatoes. Her food is all really good, but that's definitely my favorite.

^Yeah? Well I like PIE. TAKE IT.
Every Christmas my mother makes friendship cake. It takes the whole month of December to prepare and actually bake this cake. It has different food coloring in it to make it look bright.And there is a special ingredient, that my mom refuses to tell people. As soon as december starts everyone starts looking excited for it. Its delicious!
A unique food in my family is some kind of cake that has two layers of chocolate cake with some kind of white felling in it and on the top of the cake its gets coved with a chocolate coding and sits in the freezer
for a hour the cake is served at family get together and more my mom makes it every time.
dude only pumpkin pie RULES!
anonymous aka Jon Rowe, that sounds delicious. it makes a fat kid want to cry.
Nikkya - I've never heard of anything like this before. I can see why people get excited.
Every year for thanksgiving and christmas my family makes cream cheese squares. My mom and my aunt take a hole week before the holidays two make so many of the cream cheese squared it is unbelievable. We top them sometimes with icing and M & M's or oreos. We put separate names in 20 to 25 special ones for each member in the family. They are one of the most delicious things that i have ever tasted.
I like all pie, broski. And to Mariio, learn to spell. You're kind of looking illiterate right now. (i'm talking about your name)
Rutger...what makes your grandma's dish UNIQUE?
sam that sounds delicious good description
one of the traditonal things that we eat at christmas time are these things called buck eyes basically what a buck eye is, is chocolate balls with peanut butter inside of them and all you do is freeze them and eat them.
On Thanksgiving my grandma makes cherry flavor fudge bars and they are delicious
... It's like chicken and noodles, but instead of broth it's on buttered mashed potatoes. Idk? It's the only food I can think of that we always have..
My mom for christmas she makes It in a kind of buffet style. Its setup where you pretty much make your own taco with all of the toppings you wont you can pick whatever you want on your taco thats on the table. You can either have corn tortillas or flour tortillas. Its very good and my family enjoys the food because there is always enough to go around.
Chance...cherry flavor fudge bars...that sounds interesting

My family tradition is going to my grandmas house is we stay the night at my grandmas house before we open presents, my grandma makes these homemade donuts in a frying pan and cooks biscuits then we put whatever we want on the donut.
