What the hell is “Slatka Česnica”…
Christmas sweets in Serbia are roasted pork and “russian” salad
Strange they didn’t mention the “Roscón de Reyes” for Spain
Eh that’s shite, the Irish Christmas cake is never like this……always with icing!
The Dutch eat oliebollen at New Year not at Christmas Edit: spelling
For Greece I am not so sure about karydopita. For me standard is [melomakarona](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melomakarono), [kourabiedes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qurabiya) and [Vasilopita](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilopita) for new year’s day.
Panettone > Pandoro
Mákos but no diós hello????
> Pandoro is the best ranked between all Italian treats
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
We have way more than 2 Christmas treats in Norway.
What is this map actually showing? Because Christmas cake in the form it’s enjoyed in Ireland is English, so it can’t be showing the origins of them. Is it showing the most popular Christmas treat in a given country?
Never heard of Klenät.
Wikipedia says it’s a danish and southern sweden thing
As always on maps like this the majority of Belgium is ignored.
Ireland? Christmas cake? This poll must’ve been run in the 1990s.
I can confirm that both æbleskiver and ris a la mande are Danish Christmas treats. Æbleskiver during all of December and ris a la mande as dessert on Christmas Eve.
Both are, despite what the figure implies, enjoyed across the whole country.
Finland is not beating the allegations.
Tfw no polvorones
Also where did the Balearics go
Albania with the Christmas Baklava 😀
Aletria for Portugal, as a Christmas sweet? At this point they’re just throwing random shit together and calling it a day
Only 2.9?
I think someone had too much pud.
Kringel is something that gets served here as a substitute for cake at all kinds of events though. Like we used to get kringel at school for Christmas and Independence Day, they’re often brought to work functions as birthday food or celebratory food because they’re relatively cheap and feed a lot of people and they can be both savory and sweet.
So I wouldn’t call it Christmas sweet treat only. People definitely also make gingerbread during Christmas, but I guess that’s not Estonian only thing. Not even sure kringel is Estonian only thing, I’m pretty certain there is something similar elsewhere too.
Greece’s melomakarona are incredible. I’m amazed they haven’t taken the world by storm
fr Germany, even this had to be stollen 😭
I sometimes wonder about Taste Atlas. How do they always omit Cyprus?? We are in Europe after all! Kourabiedes, melomakarona and vasilopita are christmas/new years desserts that definitely you should visit and try!
Makówki the best
Perník, there is snow in summer.
This seems very inaccurate and not a very good collection of data. Probably A.I..
I am Czech, we love pernik. However, not once, at least in my family, it is presented as Christmas sweet!
Is this map correct for you other countries? Because the Sweden is only 50% correct. Knäck is a Christmas treat, but Klenät is not. I’ve never even heard of it before.
Other common Christmas specific things you eat would be:
1. Pepparkakor
2. Lussebullar
3. Julmust
Taste Atlas is like YouTubers/TikTokers. Don’t look for accurate information there.
So many Christmas stuff typical in Portugal – bolo Rei, rabanadas, filhoses, azevias, coscorões, sonhos – and they pick something like altetria, which sure we have it but is not a Christmas speciality nor widely eaten. Shit, even in the same recipe, the one made with rice instead of pasta (arroz doce) is more widely eaten.
