WRITING
My name is Beatriz, and I’m from Alt Empordà, Catalunya, Spain.
My favourite special meal is roast dinner at Christmas. I ate it for the first time in England at my Grandmother’s house a few years ago. I enjoyed it so much that I asked my mother to cook it for us and ever since we’ve had it for Christmas.
Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It’s a Christian celebration; on the 25th December we celebrate the birth of Jesus. It is also a very special time for all the family to get together. We give each other presents and enjoy having a big meal all together.
We cook a big turkey in the oven with roast potatoes (my favourite!) and lots of vegetables: carrots, green beans, brussel sprouts, peas…
The pudding is also really important. It is usually something cooked in the oven. I like apple pie or fruit crumble. Christmas pudding is also very typical in England. The puddings are served with custard which is similar to “crema catalana”, but custard is hot.
Apple pie is my favourite pudding in the world!
