Christmas celebration in Poland typically spans over three days and involves a sumptuous amount of food and eating (or more often overeating). The first Christmas meal, eaten on Christmas Eve, is called Wigilia, which can be translated into English as “vigil”. At a traditional Wigilia, one will likely encounter at least twelve kinds of food. The sample below includes some of the more common Wigilia dishes.
Fish at the Polish Christmas Dinner
Since Poles abstain from eating meat on Christmas Eve for religious reasons, Wigilia is one of those rare occasions in the year when fish takes precedence at the Polish table. Carp is the fish of choice and can be cooked in many different ways. Frying in batter is a popular way to prepare this fish. For years, carp helped Polish kids to avoid taking bath during the days before Christmas, since bathtub was often a popular choice for storing live carps bought from the market.
