The traditional Easter dinner can vary significantly depending on cultural, regional, and personal preferences. However, there are some common dishes and foods associated with Easter celebrations in various parts of the world. Here are the top five.
What are you having for Easter dinner?
- Roast Lamb is a common feature on Easter tables in many cultures. This tradition stems from the symbolism of the lamb as a representation of Jesus Christ, often referred to as the “Lamb of God” in Christian theology. Lamb is not a favorite of mine. We are having ham and turkey.
- Ham is a popular Easter dish in some Western countries, particularly in the United States. It’s often glazed with a sweet sauce and baked or roasted.
- Eggs are a universal symbol of Easter, representing new life and rebirth. They are commonly incorporated into Easter meals in various forms, such as deviled eggs, egg salads, or decorations on the table. Deviled eggs are a favorite of mine; I may make some.
- Spring Vegetables are often featured prominently in Easter meals. As Easter coincides with the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, fresh spring vegetables like asparagus, green beans, peas, and roasted root vegetables are common choices. (I love these and serve them at Passover)
- Desserts: Easter desserts vary widely depending on cultural traditions. I am doing a pineapple upside-down cake this year. Here is a great recipe.
The Easter meal is a time for families to come together and celebrate the joy and hope associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join the Celebration with these top five!
