Not sure how many will like our family tradition but here goes. We have had an ongoing family X-mas party going since the late 1800's and next Saturday will be like 120 years or so. Being of German heritage I am always in charge of bringing the Kielbasa, usually around 12 lbs. But here's the staple and it's always been at the table for my 50+ years. Raw meat sandwiches. We take very lean top round beef and grind it like hamburg. It is applied about a 1/2 inch thick on rye bread and topped with sliced red onions and salt and pepper. We all love it but it fun to watch the newbees to the family reactions.
