Catholic “fasting” is sort of hilarious. My family doesn’t eat meat for the big inter-familial Christmas Eve dinner, we just “abstain” by making and consuming one billion potato and cheese pierogies.

I love it. Especially as somebody who actually fasts once a year and feels like death after

My favorite Christmas food is the Chinese feast (called Kvetchup) that my friends and I used to plan for anyone in town over the holiday - in those days in Miami, Chinese restaurants were buzzing on Christmas night.

I love that. I think I’ve always divided that as a Christmas Day thing and the dinner is on the eve. I don’t celebrate so I could be mixing it up but I respect Chinese food any day of the year

This has become my favorite column of yours. One thing I’ll add, does a sandwich really need greens in it? Good bread, meats, cheese, spreads is all that’s needed imo (although i get the exceptions ie: the aforementioned BLT).

I don’t think it does. I rarely order sandwiches with lettuce. If it comes with it I’ll keep it but I’m often disappointed.
