Our family shares the "opłatek" before the meal on Christmas Eve - called Wigilia. After the 11 course meal we sing Christmas carols and then we "suddenly" notice presents under the tree and yell: Santa Clause was here! we open the presents on Christmas Eve.

called Wigilia.



my cousin still has Wigilia, I am not fond of fish, probably because at young
age, I had bad experience with it, making me sick for days.

then I tried to eat Tuna sandwich, and again 3 days with fever, etc, so my
mind refuses it, and I get nauseated just thinking about it.

is there other dishes that could be substituted in place of fish ? maybe chicken?

something tolerable lol

You are allergic to fish. Some are allergic to peanuts and can die if eaten. Some to cats....
You could probably substitute fish with a vegetable, or maybe crab? In the US they eat chicken and ham for Christmas Eve dinner, you'll just have an American type wigilia.

Krysia, I didnt even think of that, but that makes sense, because each time
was always fever, vomiting etc , dont mean to gross anyone out, but
yes, you have valuable point, prob should get to doc and have test for allergy
to other stuff. I know two medications I cannot take which do the same thing.

i have heard about the peanuts and people severly allergic.
even milk (people with allergies, and also fish) but didnt think I could be.

Thanks Krysia, ya opened them eyeballs LOL
