5 Traditional Easter Foods from

Around the World

Hello and welcome to a special edition of the BingoHall blog. This Sunday we

celebrate Easter, one of the most important events of the year, so we have

decided to do something different this week. Instead of talking about our

promotions and special offers, we will be talking about the most interesting

traditional Easter meals from around the world! Note that some of these recipes

take a very long time to make, so if you want to try cooking one, you might have

to play online bingo a bit less.

Spain: Rice pudding and breaded sausages

Spain prides itself on a wide variety of delicious courses for the Easter feast:

from special buns with various stuffing to very interesting vegetarian recipes.

The Spanish people often enjoy the Easter Hornazo, a special kind of pastry,

filled with sausages, bacon, boiled eggs and sweetened with Torrijas.

Furthermore, in Spain you will also find an incredible pudding made out of

milk, rice, vanilla, cinnamon and orange peel. The Arroz con leche, as they call

it, can also be served as a snack when you play online bingo.

The Scandinavian Peninsula: Fish and good beer!

While most other countries from around the world cook lamb for Easter, the

people from Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway) prefer

having herring. It is usually served fresh, marinated or smoked, with potatoes,

sour cream and a special type of bread. In Norway, they also have a traditional

Easter drink: the Paskelbrygg (don’t try to say it out loud), which is a very

special type of beer.

Italy: Marinated lamb

Most Italian traditional Easter dishes are made from spring vegetables, like

artichokes, asparagus, green beans, spinach or lettuce. But the main part will

always be played by the lamb roast, cooked in various ways, depending on the

Italian region you’re in. For example, in Rome you will find lamb roasts,

marinated in lemon and rosemary, or barbequed lamb ribs, served with potatoes

or artichokes.

Greece: Lamb, lamb and more lamb

The Greeks will always celebrate Easter with a lamb roast, cooked slowly in the

oven over a spread of herbs and olive oil. It is usually served with a glass of red

wine, mint sauce or fresh salads. Furthermore, a Greek household will always

have boiled eggs dyed in red, as well as a special sweet bread, called tsoureki.

France: Lamb skewers

French cuisine is famous around the world for the amazing dishes it has

spawned. Lamb will always be present on the table for Easter, whether it is

roasted or placed on skewers. The latter dish is often called “les brochettes

d’agneau” and, when cooked right, can rival any other sort of food.

Indulge yourself!

These are some of the most interesting traditional Easter dishes that BingoHall

could find. As you can see, lamb meat is the star all over Europe during the

festive period. If you have a great recipe for any of these dishes, or other
