(image via [1]) Holiday traditions may vary from family to family, country to country, and continent to continent, but there is one thing that doesn’t change. Food. Families, friends, coworkers, classmates and others all around the world gather at the holidays, to enjoy each other’s company, to renew friendships and family bonds, and to take time to prepare and enjoy wonderful meals, special dishes and delicious drinks. As in the Mediterranean countries, American holiday meals are ones of bounty and pleasure. Feasts, fiestas, and festas are a time to enjoy family, friends and food! We hope you’ll enjoy this Mediterranean-inspired dishes with your friends and family during the holidays, or as you celebrate the end of 2009 and welcome in the new year. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from all of us at the Mediterranean Foods Alliance [2] and Oldways [3]. Fresh Fridays will return on January 8th! Fondue au Fromage *Comté (from the Jura Mountains), Beaufort and Emmental (from Savoie) are all classic mountain cheeses.
