Finland

Regarding kylmäsavulohi. Added the missing letter and changed the translation as well. What in the world is this "Raw-pickled slightly salted salmon" it used to be? Graniitti 01:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Before adding links to websites that contain recipes, please look at WP:ELNO and WP:NOT#REPOSITORY. There are dozens if not hundreds of websites that contain lists of Christams recipes. Wikipedia should not be used as a web directory to link to them. Such a list, especially in this case, would quickly overwhelm the article. In this case, there's also no such thing as a single site that would be able to gain concensus as being more notable than all others.

However, WP:EL#Links to be considered does recomment using a dmoz link as a neutral third-party directory of websites or organizations. Such a link already exists in the article ... so new recipe websites should be added to dmoz rather than to this article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:38, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to add that, when linking to dmoz, use the template, as pointing to a keyword search also falls under WP:ELNO.--Boffob (talk) 18:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Christmas foods list needs subcategories

The list of U.S. Christmas foods as it currently exists is impossible to make sense of unless you're already familiar with the subject, which is not the point of an encyclopedia entry. Older countries and/or more ethnically unified countries have traditional Christmas foods. What the United States has is bits of everyone's Christmas traditions, plus indigenous traditions, all mixed up with the somewhat artificial ideas of American Christmas traditions adopted by immigrants trying to assimilate. Taking representative items from all those traditions and dumping them into a single alphabetical list yields chaos. No one in the United States sits down to a nice Christmas dinner of lefse, tamales, and boiled custard with cranberry sauce.

You could probably get a doctoral dissertation studying which populations traditionally eat oyster stew or seafood chowder on Christmas Eve, and why. Tamales are Christmas fare for Spanish-speaking populations from the American Southwest all the way down to Venezuela. Scandinavian-Americans eat lutefisk and lefsa any time they want to get down with their ethnicity, but at Christmas they eat rice pudding with almond. And so forth.

As for older American Christmas food traditions, at minimum Southern cooking ought to be broken out as a subcategory. Maybe just divide it into north and south. The ethnic specialties that haven't come into general use should be identified by the ethnic group in question.

Additional quibbles: Russian Tea Cakes and Smithfield Ham

1. I've never seen Russian Tea Cakes/Mexican Wedding Cookies identified as a Christmas specialty. Intensely rich and troublesome cookies tend to get baked more often by home bakers during the holiday season than at any other time of year, but that doesn't make that particular recipe more of a Christmas tradition than any of twenty other cookie varieties, if you get the distinction.

2. Ham is listed twice, and in my opinion one of those instances should be removed. "Smithfield Ham" did at one time signify a prized regional specialty item, suitable for holiday feasts; but today it's just the trade name for a considerably less select and reliable product. There's really no reason to give it a separate place on the list. 67.244.76.130 (talk) 02:29, 2 April 2012 (UTC)TNH[reply]
