Jean's Pick of the Week for Dec. 11, 2009

Jean's pick this week is Christmas Eve Seven Fish Feast From Sicily. Our technical director, Joe, is horrified at the idea of having octopus for Christmas. For me, fish is a must-have "lucky" dish to celebrate the coming of a new year, because in Chinese, the pronounciation of "fish" (yu) is identical to that of "extra." On the Chinese New Year Eve, every family will have a fish dish on the table.

Do you have a Christmas food ritual? On what special occasions do you eat fish? Leave your story on our hotline and we may use it on air for the Mail Bag segment of the show. Our hotline number is 877-GLOBE-07 (877-45623-07) or 608-890-0269.

Hah! First time I met my mother-in-law she made up a feast - Korean home-cooking style.

In front of my horrified eyes my wife - whom I had thought was entirely normal - picked up an octopus tentacle and popped the entire thing in her mouth with a satisfied 'ymmmmmmmm' noise.
