^ some of us stick to risengrød (Rice pudding) as a starter-course.

However, the crucial part is that no matter what you eat, an almond is hidden in it and whoever finds it gets a present. :D

Officially it is spelled risalamande and if you want to frenchify it, it's spelled ris à l'amande (almond is amande, not mande in French) ;) :p

...

I just want to add that I absolutely love risalamande and easily eat more than the 2nd and 3rd combined in my family (and yes that is after also eating the most during the main course, I guess you can say that I really like Christmas dinner)

Ahhh.. Mr. nit-pick ; :)

Have you ever gotten the almond?
In my family we have the tradition of hiding the almond in the cheek to get others eat more.. Is that a common thing?

Yeah I think that is quite common. I usually continue to have a few portions after it has been revealed who got the almond though :p

Careful, guys! It en't gonna stick - the not-gaining-weight-thing; some day the stuff you eat is gonna stick.

As for hiding almonds, some in my family do, some don't, and then there was the one time when my younger sister accidentally ate it. In her defence; she weren't very old.
I don't like risalamande that much, sure; I can eat it (something which only happened in recent years) but I'm going crazy over it, much prefer risengrød. :D

Yeah, I fear that will happen when I get older :(

Until then I will just eat as much as I can whenever I'm served good food :D
