My favourite celebration by Júlia to Linsday

Hi,Lindsay. My favourite celebration is the day of the "cassoles de tros" (typical meal). It is a traditional celebration in Juneda, it is celebrated since 1979, every  June. So, this year is the 35th edition of this typical party of the “junedencs”.

It is a celebration but it is also a contest, and there is a jury that the decides what “cassola de tros” is the best.

A “cassola de tros” is a typical dish of the peasants. It is elaborated with:

- spinach

- potatoes

- onions

- red and green peppers

- aubergine

- pork meat ( sausages, ribs…)

On the “cassola the tros” day, in the morning we go to the canal, and light the fire and prepare the food. We start to cook the dish, and we spend all morning cooking, talking and laughing. When the “cassola” is done, we take it, and we go to the countryside to eat this good “cassola”. After eating we play the whole afternoon with my friends. Finally everybody goes.

I have chosen this day because I like cooking and being with my friends . This year will be the first “cassola de tros” that I will celebrate only with my group of friends (not my family) and I am very happy for it .
