Enough of the food for now!

Easter, at least in my family, is centered around food. Every year around Easter, we all gather for the annual Easter lunch.

That was a lot of Easter in one sentence.. Anyway..

The main attraction is food. It's always the same: Fish and eggs for starters, heavier meats during round 2.. Given that my family loves to eat, we pretty much just go all out on food!

Me? I'm the bread bringer. Literally. I am in charge of getting all the bread to the Easter lunch. My one pair of aunt and uncle brought the herring, cucumber, tomato and lettuce, while my other uncle brought Æbleflæsk, which is a traditional Danish dish consisting of cured or salted pork belly, fried with apples, thyme and sugar. Chopped onion is often fried with the apples.

My cousin and her husband brought the roasted pork, which is a MUST have during any Danish Easter or Christmas celebration. It's a crime not to bring it.

My cousin's husband's mother brought some light salads, and my mother brought the shrimp, the fish fillets, the candy and the snacks.

We each had to bring our own stuff to drink.

Yesterday was the Easter lunch, and today we had leftovers. You might be thinking "did you eat enough?", to which I say: Absolutely.. Whenever my family get together for food, we go all in!

We


In fact, there was so much food that we even had enough for a full course today.. It's absolutely insane just how much we eat during the holidays.. It's a bit scary, actually.

If you ever attend one of these feasts with my family, if you leave hungry, it's your own fault. The next feast coming up is a summer party, where we'll get some proper good food. We're talking hotdogs, roasted pork, sausages, lots of meat and dessert as well. Combine that with copious amounts of soda/water and alcohol, and you have a recipe for a good evening.

I am bringing the champagne!

But for now, no more food.. If I ever see a piece of meat today, I will barf...
