How very charming. In the Philippines, we have the noche buena on Christmas Eve…usually, lechon, relleno, embotido, queso de bola, hamon, leche flan…from the Spaniards…after all we were a colony for 300 years and the ubiquitous noodles called pancit bijon from the Chinese!
Pancit bijon is ricestick noodles with soy sauce added to sautéed pork and chicken…and depending on the budget of the family can have sliced cabbage, carrot sticks, celery, mushrooms..the Chinese kind, sausage..also the Chinese variety which is like chorizo but sweetish, …and for extra bonus, shrimps….it’s a required dish in every party as noodles supposedly mean long life…😋
A glorious post. Truly so delicious to read Reminds me of that post New Year adventure in Uzés. And the reeds bending in the stiff Camargue breeze. Wish we had had the luck then to eat as well as you describe.

Fabulous! Lechon also for Noche Buena in Catalunia. Thanks for posting Gia - would love to know about pancit bijon.

Sounds delish - chorizo sounds an excellent addition.

Thanks and I hear what you're saying, Martina! Such good times. Camargue flamingoes, market in Aix - glorious!
