I've been reading, and watching shows about food around the world, it's diversity and its similarities. And with Christmas coming, I thought I'd ask what your favorite special to the holidays dish is?

One of mine is Whoopee pies, one of my DILs is from Pennsylvania Dutch country and she makes them for us only at Christmas. They are so goood!

Pretty sure Valentines came from the Romans, some celebrate it here, and pretty sure the UK do as well

The ancient Romans may also be responsible for the name of our modern day of love. Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the 3rd century A.D. Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine's Day.

Didn't reserch more, not sure where the 'love' part came from ?

Having just celebrated 50 years of marriage, if Valentine's Day was a 'thang' here in Oz, we would have been married a week later.

Don't think it's still a thing here. Only commercially for idiots.
