Does your family have a traditional meal on New Years Day to ring good luck?

@sarabee1995 apps? 🤔

@sarabee1995 What's your favorite??? Wings?

@Ksmile14 what are apps?

@Yulianna Appetizers

@Ksmile14 ah, ok, so just lots of different small bites to eat?

@Yulianna Yes American tapas.

@KiwiBird @Yulianna Lol, exactly! "American tapas!" Great description.

@Ksmile14 Wings are good, preferably spicy buffalo-style. But my fav would be almost any kind of pigs-in-a-blanket! 😉

@KiwiBird @sarabee1995 @Ksmile14

ok, so buffaloes don't have wings, unless they are water buffaloes with water wings...

so i guess this is some sort of bird, probably chicken. i must ask why they are called buffalo wings.

pigs-in-a-blanket? we eat a lot of pig in many ways, but never like that.

what else do you have?

🤗🤗🤗

@Yulianna A Buffalo wing, in the cuisine of the United States, is an unbreaded chicken wing section that is generally deep-fried then coated or dipped in a sauce consisting of a vinegar-based cayenne pepper hot sauce and melted butter prior to serving.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales what's that got to do with buffaloes?

@TheSirfurryanimalWales My mouth is watering reading your description. But yes, @Yulianna, he is right. This is one of many "Buffalo-style" chicken wing recipe. Basically, it's a spicy wing. 🙂

Now... Pigs-in-a-blanket are quite famous and is really a food category in itself...


Basically, it's a small sausage or hot dog wrapped in some kind of bread dough and baked. But the variety is enormous.

I like a light flaky croissant-like dough. 🙂

@sarabee1995 ☺️ ok, so a wrapped up sausage.

@Yulianna Lol yup, but some people get all fancy with them too.

@Yulianna In the UK ‘Pigs in Blankets’ are traditionally a chipolata (sausage) wrapped in bacon 😋😋😘🌸🌷❤️😍

@Dlrannie Yes, I've seen them wrapped in bacon back home in the States too and as we all know, life is always better with bacon! 😁

@sarabee1995 Absolutely 🙂🙂😋

@Dlrannie @sarabee1995 🤗 that sounds quite good.

i am going to have eurotapas for Christmas eve and Christmas day.

@Yulianna Describe some for us! (Unless they will be described in a future plague diary entry.)

@Yulianna Nothing?Ask Sara😀

@TheSirfurryanimalWales @Yulianna Lol, I haven't a clue why they are referred to as Buffalo wings? 🤷‍♀️ Perhaps the concept of spicy wings originated in the city of Buffalo, NY?

@TheSirfurryanimalWales 😂😂😂

@sarabee1995 😂😂😂

i will try to update my diary...

@sarabee1995 @Yulianna We had things called Devils on Horseback. Pitted prunes wrapped in strips of bacon and grilled. A small cube of cheese can be inserted into the prunes. I haven't had one for years...my Mother used to make them.

@KiwiBird We used dates wrapped in bacon and stuffed with either an almond or cheese. YUM!
