Italians do things a little differently. Christmas eve comes with the tradition of eating 7 different kinds of fish including things like bacala (salt cod), calimari(squid), cuttle fish, octopus, cabadone (eel), alice(anchovy) and many others. We also serve what is called aglia olio which is a simple pasta served with olive oil, garlic and anchovy. Christmas day we usually have homemade ravioli and chopped pig fried with hot peppers and garlic along with a whole host of other pick foods and side dishes.
