Happy New Year's Eve and Happy New Year

OK, those of you who aren't Spaniards perhaps are wondering what Betty and Daphne are doing with those giant grapes.
Here in Spain (it's already 31st) we have a national custom. We eat 12 grapes at the pace of the bells of the clock in the Royal House of the Post Office in Madrid (better known as the Puerta del Sol Clock). When we eat the last one, the new year starts. Or three seconds after the last bell rings.
Yes, we are weird.
Why have I drawn grapes so big? Have you tried to eat a grape in three seconds? Twelve grapes in 36 seconds? Yeah, it gets nasty. The grapes pile up in the mouth and the last ones look like the size of a beach ball. And you have to swallow them fast. Family or friends will want to congratulate you on the New Year as soon as they swallow their grapes. Giving your wife the first kiss of the year with a mouth full of grapes is not considered polite.
Well, after getting boring about Spanish culture, I just want to wish you an amazing New Year's Eve, that you have a 2025 that is at least as good as 2004 (if it can be better, we won't complain, right?) and that you can enjoy it with your loved ones.
As for me (yes, I know, New Year's resolutions and blah blah blah) I promise to keep telling the story of our MC and his girls. If I can do it faster and better, I promise to at least try.
Happy 2025!!! (Don’t expect a post tomorrow at midnight)

In Portugal instead of 12 grapes the tradition is to eat 12 rasins, that are 12 grapes deflated.
I guess somewhere in the past someone must have thought that is easier to eat 12 deflated grapes than the regular size grapes.
Anyway the most important, wherever you all are, have a happy new year of 2025 and may your wishes come true, as long are good wishes. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

When my sis was very small she used to love Crush soda - always wanted to try any flavor she hadn't seen before. We went through Canada and she HAD to try the Raisin Crush. She was so disappointed when it turned out to just be Grape Crush but in French. :sneaky:

Preferably with a GOOD "Espumante". I already have 2 waiting. One is a "Alvarinho" the other is a "Bairrada"... We'll see how it goes.

Peace :)

Happy New Year
I did smoked trout and salmon over Christmas - no herring required. ;)

Blackeye peas will be soaking soon, though.

Poland, Scandinavia, US some other places 1 piece of pickled herring for a prosperous new year
Funny, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.

We don't do that in Canada (at least, not in Quebec), but herring is something we eat a lot through the year tho. It's one of the most common fishes in supermarket.

I think it's a nice tradition honestly.:)
