Abstract

The traditional link between certain types of food and holidays is
deeply in folk customs. It is difficult to imagine Christmas without
roast meat or Easter without ham, eggs and horseradish. This link
was even stronger before, that is, there was a symbolic level on which a deeper meaning was associated with food. On weekdays, people took humbler meals, sometimes only to take the edge off hunger. This means that there was an obvious distinction between everyday and holiday dishes. Dietary habits change as lifestyle changes. Although better material life conditions have changed traditional menus, old dishes evocative of times past are still prepared on holidays, gathering the family around the table.
