A beautiful b\u00fbche de No\u00ebl – a delicious Christmas tradition in France!

\n

You can tell Christmas is coming when the display cases at the grocery store swap out their yogurts and cheeses for the pretty log-style packages of foie gras. This delicacy is so symbolic of the season, and is but one of the traditional offerings at the French Christmas dinner.

\n

\n

French Christmas Dinner

\n

What are some other typical foods that make a special appearance in French homes as the year draws to a close?

\n

Kicking off the Meal

\n

The holiday meal will typically start off with foie gras. This rich and onctuous slice of liver is lovely to pair with toasted brioche. Recently, we\u2019ve seen grilled gingerbread slices (pain d\u2019\u00e9pices) accompanying this succulent spread, with a side of spicy chutney or preserved sweet onions. Sprinkle some kosher salt on each bite and you\u2019ve got a taste sensation better than any Christmas present. Don\u2019t forget the chilled Sauterne!

\n

\"foie

\n

The French are also big fans of fish dishes as a first course. Smoked salmon with blinis, tarama spread on a crusty baguette or raw oysters on a bed of ice paired with rye bread are other common openers to this special meal.

\n

The Main Course

\n

Roast turkey or goose, or a special kind of castrated rooster, known as a chapon are traditional main dishes served at Christmas. The French stuffing is not bread-based, as the American one is, but relies on a mixture of gizzards, pork and other meats. Chestnuts are often added, and there is a lot of jus, or sauce, passed around in the gravy boat to add another layer of flavor to the plate.

\n

Boudin blanc, a white sausage often embellished with truffles, is another traditional main dish, served with a side of pureed chestnuts. Side dishes are similar to what we find in the America: green beans, saut\u00e9ed mushrooms, mashed potatoes or celery root, and of course you\u2019ll always find plenty of fresh baguette on the table to help soak up all the lovely sauces.

\n

Dessert

\n

\"

\n

The b\u00fbche de No\u00ebl has a starring role at the holiday table, and each year it seems there are more variations of this rich cake to choose from. Long ago the traditional yule log was only available one way: a jelly roll cake filled with buttercream. The flavors were limited to chocolate, praline, vanilla and Grand Marnier for the adventuresome.

\n

That\u2019s all changed today, with a fanciful b\u00fbche de No\u00ebl becoming the showcase piece for the finest and most creative pastry chefs. Flavors such as litchi, rose petal, gingerbread, dark cherry, coconut and pineapple\u2026it\u2019s amazing what is now available at places such as La Grande Epicerie, Pierre Herm\u00e9 and Ladur\u00e9e. No longer content to shape this cake into a yule log, you can now find a b\u00fbche that looks like a quilted Chanel purse, a Champagne bottle, or a set of Louis Vuitton luggage! My favorite remains the traditional chocolate roll, with lots of little toys to pluck off the top and distribute to the small children at the table.

\n

\"

\n

I know several French people who prefer the lighter ice cream or sorbet version to cap off their heavy holiday meal, but I\u2019ll stick with tradition. You can always eat the leftovers for breakfast!

\n

Lastly, as the French Christmas dinner extends into the night, more sweets will make an appearance on the French table. Here are a couple of delights that come from the South of France: clementines confit, or preserved tangerines, and les calissons d\u2019Aix, which are an almond-paste-based cookie from Aix en Provence.

\n

\"les

\n

Bonnes f\u00eates de fin d\u2019ann\u00e9e! Happy holidays to all!

The post Celebrate the Holidays with a French Christmas Dinner appeared first on Paris Perfect.

\n", "content_text": "A beautiful b\u00fbche de No\u00ebl – a delicious Christmas tradition in France!\nYou can tell Christmas is coming when the display cases at the grocery store swap out their yogurts and cheeses for the pretty log-style packages of foie gras. This delicacy is so symbolic of the season, and is but one of the traditional offerings at the French Christmas dinner.\n\nFrench Christmas Dinner\nWhat are some other typical foods that make a special appearance in French homes as the year draws to a close?\nKicking off the Meal\nThe holiday meal will typically start off with foie gras. This rich and onctuous slice of liver is lovely to pair with toasted brioche. Recently, we\u2019ve seen grilled gingerbread slices (pain d\u2019\u00e9pices) accompanying this succulent spread, with a side of spicy chutney or preserved sweet onions. Sprinkle some kosher salt on each bite and you\u2019ve got a taste sensation better than any Christmas present. Don\u2019t forget the chilled Sauterne!\n\nThe French are also big fans of fish dishes as a first course. Smoked salmon with blinis, tarama spread on a crusty baguette or raw oysters on a bed of ice paired with rye bread are other common openers to this special meal.\nThe Main Course\nRoast turkey or goose, or a special kind of castrated rooster, known as a chapon are traditional main dishes served at Christmas. The French stuffing is not bread-based, as the American one is, but relies on a mixture of gizzards, pork and other meats. Chestnuts are often added, and there is a lot of jus, or sauce, passed around in the gravy boat to add another layer of flavor to the plate.\nBoudin blanc, a white sausage often embellished with truffles, is another traditional main dish, served with a side of pureed chestnuts. Side dishes are similar to what we find in the America: green beans, saut\u00e9ed mushrooms, mashed potatoes or celery root, and of course you\u2019ll always find plenty of fresh baguette on the table to help soak up all the lovely sauces.\nDessert\n\nThe b\u00fbche de No\u00ebl has a starring role at the holiday table, and each year it seems there are more variations of this rich cake to choose from. Long ago the traditional yule log was only available one way: a jelly roll cake filled with buttercream. The flavors were limited to chocolate, praline, vanilla and Grand Marnier for the adventuresome.\nThat\u2019s all changed today, with a fanciful b\u00fbche de No\u00ebl becoming the showcase piece for the finest and most creative pastry chefs. Flavors such as litchi, rose petal, gingerbread, dark cherry, coconut and pineapple\u2026it\u2019s amazing what is now available at places such as La Grande Epicerie, Pierre Herm\u00e9 and Ladur\u00e9e. No longer content to shape this cake into a yule log, you can now find a b\u00fbche that looks like a quilted Chanel purse, a Champagne bottle, or a set of Louis Vuitton luggage! My favorite remains the traditional chocolate roll, with lots of little toys to pluck off the top and distribute to the small children at the table.\n\nI know several French people who prefer the lighter ice cream or sorbet version to cap off their heavy holiday meal, but I\u2019ll stick with tradition. You can always eat the leftovers for breakfast!\nLastly, as the French Christmas dinner extends into the night, more sweets will make an appearance on the French table. Here are a couple of delights that come from the South of France: clementines confit, or preserved tangerines, and les calissons d\u2019Aix, which are an almond-paste-based cookie from Aix en Provence.\n\nBonnes f\u00eates de fin d\u2019ann\u00e9e! Happy holidays to all!\n___________\nShelby Ocana is Californian by birth and Parisian by choice.
