 JW> Reveillon is French for awake and is used for both Christmas
 JW> Eve and New Year's Eve dinners

 ML> In New Orleans these days, it's a monthlong celebration

Well we live in a world where Halloween starts right after Labour
Day, Thanksgiving directly after Halloween and Christmas the day
after that! (And Neekha definitely believes in Birthday Weeks!)

 ML> I'll not eat the fluted edge of most pies, because they tend to
 ML> be bitter and flavorless, especially when made with Crisco.
 ML> Animal fat crusts of course are better in every way, and even
 ML> the outer overdone stuff may be tasty.

I like Julia Child's version: half lard for flavour and half butter
for flakiness.

MMMMM

Maple Syrup certainly isn't traditional in Japanese cuisine. They
have maple trees there but Momiji maple sap doesn't have a high
enough amount of sugars to warrant the effort. In recent decades
though they do import a fair amount of Canadian syrup.
