Pickled pumpkin - spicy taste with aromas of cloves Bashny.Net

What memories remain with us throughout our lives? Those from childhood, when autumn smells like the last cold, splashing intoxicating juice, apples, when spiders collect droplets of frozen dew like a diamond necklace, when the air is saturated with the spicy bitterness of yellowed leaves, when the house smells like cinnamon pies, and a mug of hot tea warms chilly hands. When winter smells of tangerines, spices, soaked apples and freshly washed frosty sheets, when the icicles are sweet and the fingers quickly freeze, if they thaw small transparent windows on frozen glass, when a piece of butter quickly melts on hot potatoes, and the aromas of baked duck make you stay closer to the table when a wetty coat dries through a warm furnace and a gentle grandmother's voice reads you strange and uneared tales. 712183

Everyone has their own warm childhood memories. The most memorable are winter, festive, Christmas. What does Estonian Christmas smell like? Spicy hot cider or mulled wine, marinated with clove and vegetables Baltic herring, fried pork with sauerkraut, "black pudding" - blood sausage, potato salad, gingerbread, tangerines, red-sided apples, pickled pumpkin, cranberry, fresh buns with cinnamon, frosty air, slightly salty to the taste of cold sea splashes.
