Figgy's family Christmas Eve is our version of the feast of the 7 fishes. The only thing set in stone is there are 7 dishes each consisting of a different type of fish or shellfish. The exceptions are fried calamari is a must, there are no scallops as dh is highly allergic, mussels are done in hot red sauce and everything is bought on sale because my last name isn't Gates. I already have the cod and tuna vac sealed and frozen

Considering my personal limited liking of fish I couldn't even come up with 7. I like Haddock, Cod, Shrimp, Scallops, some Tuna and maybe a small amount of lobster or crab. To me anything else would not constitute food to celebrate anything with. Considering the idea that haddock and cod are very close to being interchangeable as well as the same for lobster and crab I'm now down to five at best and I wouldn't want them all at the same time..

Multiple dog food brands recalled due to potential salmonella contamination
Three different dog food brands have been recalled in recent week because of bacteria that can sicken pets and humans who handle the food.

I don’t think you have to actually eat each of the seven offerings to partake. My next door neighbour is first-generation Canadian of Italian descent. They also celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve with his parents and sister’s family.

We love fish any day of the week and even more on Christmas. My Jewish friends have an annual tradition , on Dec 25 they enjoy their huge meal of Chinese take out food!I don’t think you have to actually eat each of the seven offerings to partake.

Once my family was traveling I-95 South on Christmas Day and we had Chinese Buffet for our dinner that night.
Everything else was closed.
I read that first line as "I need some vodka", which also fits the theme of the meme.

In 2019, Mike was sick as a dog. Spent 12’ish hours on the bathroom floor, and another 24’ish in a semi-comatose state in bed. I farmed the kids out to relatives for Christmas dinner, and I had Saltines in case I was next.
We had our “Christmas dinner” at a Cracker Barrel en route to Pigeon Forge a few days later.
It’s not when or what or where, it’s the who you spend the time with.

Just seems like unless it a large group ( or @Figgy1 house) that strikes me as a possible huge waste of food. Fish never seems to be a good "leftover" type item.I don’t think you have to actually eat each of the seven offerings to partake.

When I said that I wouldn't like it all at once, I was just referring to my particular pallet. I know that you don't have to eat everyone of them, however in my mind there are 6 to many choices involved.

My ex-mother-in-law would make seven different fried fish dishes. One was always "smelt" that NO ONE ate. Then she would get mad no one ate it and try to make us take it home. I don't miss those days!

Smelt is never a choice in my house, unless you're a visiting cat

I don’t know if it’s exclusively a Catholic thing, but for my Italian neighbours, it represent the seven sacraments. As Italians, they eat a lot of seafood regularly, so it’s probably not that big of a stretch to come up with seven different types.
