Festive and Ceremonial Dishes

Gathers the dishes and food sets that are prepared for a particular festival or ceremonial meal. Osechi are the traditional foods eaten in Japan to celebrate the New Year, packed in special tiered boxes called jubako, and charoset is a sweet, dark colored mixture of finely chopped fruits and nuts eaten at the Jewish Passover Seder. A dish belongs here when its own cited article ties the dish to a festival or a ceremonial meal. It excludes the rituals themselves, which are covered by other atlases.
