réveillon

French for revelry. Regina Schrambling: "Food is almost religion to the French, but never more so than at the holidays. One of the most alluring traditions from a country that invented foie gras and perfected chocolate is réveillon, the late-night feast on Dec. 24, the early-morning feast on Dec. 25 and, for good measure, the anytime feast on New Year's Eve or Day." Say what you will about the Church (I know I do!), but Catholic countries do not mess around when it comes to eating. [via The Morning News]
