Deck the Halls (and the Kitchen)! A Real-Life Mallorcan Holiday Tale

  • Summary

  • Mallorcan Christmas: A Culinary Evolution There was a time, not too long ago, when the holidays in Mallorca meant the joyful clatter of clay pots, the scent of porcella rostida slowly roasting in the oven, and the sweet, nutty aroma of turrón filling the air. Fast forward to today, and the only sound in many homes is the rustle of delivery bags and the gentle hum of the microwave. What happened? Let’s face it, we’ve collectively forgotten how to cook—or perhaps we’ve selectively blocked it out. Why wrestle with a cabrit that needs marinating, stuffing, and roasting when you can call your favorite local restaurant to deliver it, perfectly seasoned and tender? Why spend hours peeling gambes de Sóller when a paella mixta is just a phone call away? Our ancestors may have plucked their own almonds for gató, but we prefer ours pre-sliced and topped with a perfect dollop of gelat d’ametlla crua.
