Top 5 of the best holiday food
The holidays are directly associated with food. This is the perfect time of the year to cook recipes that comfort us or even to try new dishes that will impress our guests. One thing is certain, there are foods that are essential during the holiday season! Here is a selection of 5 foods that should be used at least once during your celebrations.
Potatoes
Ah, potatoes! Used in many cultures, they play a particularly important role during the holiday season in Quebec. Whether mashed next to turkey, in larger pieces in a delicious stew or baked in an aluminum foil, this is the perfect side dish! Do you like the picture above? Try to make famous potato donuts. A traditional recipe more than comforting! To go beyond the classic potatoes, try those of Mamzells, which allow a different gastronomic experience.
Turkey
The use of poultry during the celebrations is not new. Indeed, it’s the favorite choice of our French cousins since the 16th century! Larger than chicken and cheaper than goose, this bird was present only in America and was considered exotic by Europeans. Because of its size, it also allowed to feed more guests. It was eaten on special occasions because of its rarity. There goes to say that traditions extend over several centuries!
Cranberries
What would a turkey be without the famous cranberry sauce? This condiment of choice is even more important for Quebecers because we are the second largest cranberry producers in the world. A good reason to be proud of this food with surprising taste and benefits!
The puff pastry
Puff pastry is one of these foods that adapts to both sweet and savory recipes. It can be used for pies, desserts, quiches and more! It's perfect for creating unique bites to introduce new foods to your guests or even impress them with mixed of flavors they would never have dared to try!
Cheeses
No need to prove the quality of Quebec cheeses. We love them as much as you and we discover new ones constantly. For this holiday season, we're throwing you a challenge: make yourself a 100% Quebec cheese platter! In addition to discovering many quality products, you will encourage the local economy.
