This summer, I started taking Spanish classes. Today, we had the last class before the Christmas holidays and our teacher took the opportunity to introduce us into some Spanish Christmas customs. One was singing
villancicos. Contrary to the slow and deep Swiss Christmas carols, the Spanish versions have a lively tempo and the lyrics have to rhyme, not to make sense. They are made to celebrate with verve.
¡Viva la alegría de vivir!
You're lucky that this blog is without sound or you would not have made it to this point. I'm a horrible singer. Therefore, I stop with the carols and share a
Christmas Salad recipe with you, which we also received in class today:
- 1 big endive
- 1 big pomegranate
- Sherry vinegar
- extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- salt
- caraway
Defoliate the endive, cut it into small pieces and wash them well. Shell the pomegranate and get rid off the yellow skin. Put both endive and pomegranate into a salad bowl and mix well. Prepare the dressing, consisting of the vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and caraway. Mix everything together. Serve with meat, roast lamp, piglet or turkey.
