The 12th bite
of Christmas (12 bites in reality) is vegetarian, healthy and somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
Less a recipe and more a ritual, it is an old Spanish custom guaranteed to bring good luck and prosperity
(mostly to grape
farmers, I imagine) in the coming year.
You will need...
seedless white grapes – 12 per person
church bells to
ring 12 strokes at midnight on New Year’s Eve (Big Ben will do the trick)
Someone who knows
the Heimlich Manoeuvre on standby in case someone tries to inhale rather than
swallow their portion of grapes
You will also
need 12 wishes (or the same one 12 times)
The timing of
this ‘recipe’ is critical so give out the grapes in advance, 12 per person (if they peel
them, it makes life easier)
Count down to midnight, then consume one grape
for each stroke of the bell - it isn't as easy as it sounds.
It’s a bit of fun, and a healthy start to the New
Year. Have a good one!

I've done the grapes before but like them in the little glasses. Wishing you all the best in the New Year.
