Comments:
Why the Christmas Eve Feast begins with a tureen of oyster stew? Eating oyster stew on Christmas Eve is a tradition in many American families. A reason for a seafood dish on Christmas Eve was that eating meat the day before a religious feast was proscribed by the Catholic Church. (In Italy, fish soup, “zuppa di pesce,” was likewise consumed.) In some Mexico homes Oyster stew (“estofado de ostras”) also came to be a dish served on Christmas Eve. German celebrations always included, on Christmas Eve, oyster stew too. Probably because oyster stew is a warming dish, ideal for winter nights, the custom of serving it on Christmas Eve spread throughout the United States, beyond the Irish and Catholic communities.
