who i think it is? it's samples help or the christmas angel? oh, thank you for your letter. the christmas marketing. that's where you. thank you so much for making my christmas wishes. come true. well, i think we've seen all the christmas market. essentially. we've had delicious food moles, wine entered payments suite. and of course, a great atmosphere. the. incidentally, many people in germany eat, potato salad and sausages on christmas eve. that's a pretty simple dish compared to what is traditionally served in poland, a 12 horse feast. but without any meet. let's find out what goes into the menu, or is this the world's most elaborate christmas dinner?
2:36 am
all these dishes make up a single meal. it's the color, merry christmas e, plastic from poland. to give you a menu, lucius and family friendly. he wants to say the best part of christmas to you know, especially the 12 dishes, are among the most beautiful christmas eve. traditions i see the home and you have a restaurant in warsaw as known for its traditional published additions, head ship, sure stuff. kovalevsky prepares the vig delia menu every day that on your desktop, grab this menu consist of 12 dishes that according to tradition, correspond to the biblical last supper. each of the 12 dishes corresponds to a month of the year. in catholic poland, the association with the last separate of jesus and the 12 apostles is especially widespread. this fish is a highlight so that the galia dinner is on the 1st dish. we prepare
2:37 am
a sturgeon cook to sylvia. it was prepared ahead and vacuum cooked for an hour at 50 degrees celsius. now it is hand fried and then put in the oven for about 10 minutes on the fish dishes are a main stay on the gillian menu. well, meat has never served. this goes back to pre christmas fasting, digging a safe shit, christmas eve comes before the main celebration, but it's something we em you could say that we abstain from me in order to save it for christmas day or much. it is our tradition junior hands and heart of our culture and tablets here at quarter to down a number of traditions surround the publish christmas menu. many family is only started the gillian meal when the 1st star appears in the sky representing the
2:38 am
birth of jesus. this is followed by another tradition, the nose and i think nature, the one especially beautiful custom is the breaking of the hopes to be always. that is the white bread, the wafer in a symbol of christ who was born in bethlehem. but today in bethlehem means that house of bread them when we break the host and wish each other joy and love and kindness and those to me worse. but it is also a symbol of forgiveness. before we sit down together at the gillian table, we forgive each other of you and i go so much. i'm impressed with some of the restaurants. jeff is preparing one of the deserts, the canadian volume with another dish. we're preparing today is beginning a crew chess a week, putting a mock on the boil poppy seeds and mixed them with cooked wheat. and then we add various other knots. so thomas are in hunting and g email. it's no coincidence that
2:39 am
poppy seeds are used in the desert. the poppy is poland. national flower tended seeds are a staple of the cuisine times the serve, the meal. the head shift takes a seat across from the restaurant manager to gives us a brief description of the dishes different cubs. and i'm a futile just couple of things about the 1st course is herb to mushroom perot gigs . that's followed by hiring with mushrooms cream herring. should be done and herring and linseed oil on a warranty. on them add to event the sturgeon salad pills, dumplings, various soups and deserts. ready to polish families all these dishes on christmas eve and a restaurant or at home. don't those things should i count myself extremely lucky that my wife trained that a catering school zone? that's why we always cook for our selves at home. so that's the goal only is i'll
2:40 am
stick with the taxes. absolutely, i cook everything myself because my children know exactly what dishes they want to use and you pretty much expect them to, for them to go home without my knowledge i computed. my mom rarely lets anyone else cook. she likes to do it all herself. i mean, it's always delicious and family friendly. she's my brother is coming with his wife and kids and my sister citizens. but if you find yourself in poland before christmas eve and wants to get into the best of spirits, you can also enjoy the sumptuous menu at a restaurant. does your country have a special christmas meal to the feathers of these dogs are among the most precious in the world to soft down costs more than $1000.00 zeros per kilo. for centuries, people in iceland had been harvesting the down of arctic either ducks without harming them. it's beneficial both to humans and the animals. see for yourself
2:41 am
the northeast iceland, rugged fjord landscape. oh, love for our station is the islands most experienced either down farmer. every summer he spends a few months on his remote farm. every year one of the world's largest either ducks locks returns to breed. here. the black and white males and brown females lift throughout the arctic north. but in iceland, the sustainable ancient tradition of eiderdown harvesting is still practiced for headphones. i always liked being around the ducks, but i have no idea what they see in me. for a 2nd 1st had run through a lot, at least they haven't left me so far. i have no ship nashua. they seem to like coming back to the left. there's been a lot of those little ducks get up there. so there's and are protected in turn, ducks of numerous predators like foxes and martin's rain as the mother of the owner
2:42 am
. first concerns the quality of the down depends on how dry the next day during the breeding season. the odor ducks live side by side with humans for 6 weeks. without their protection, only 10 percent of the hatched checks would survive. someone has to keep watch around the clock on the for his wife. johan now takes the 1st watch. the farm has its own look out tower you need experience. i've been doing this for more than 20 years and i've learned exactly how the ducks behaved when foxes, for example, or nearby. every year the farmers build up to $100.00 nesting places which the ducks readily adopt as protection from wind and weather. some of the structures are real masterpieces made from driftwood, the $6.00 oh $2.00
2:43 am
especially if and when you have a total i don't really know why the ducks come here to my only know that there while almost and uncontrollable itself, they don't see me. can they come when they're ready to breed and leave again when they're finished, to say on the bottom? well, if either of you, i have no control over that is on that for all i can do is build a place here where they can nest and be safe from wild animals. for a few weeks later, it's harvest time on oliver's farm. it takes up to 80 next to produce just one kilogram of pure either down over and his friends and family have collected 320 kilos of good harvest the that's one of the ducks give us down and we protect them little oh,
2:44 am
it's not funny. just like when people are off, you always have to give something good. the doctor, you have to pay rent out of it and i just like we pay rent for an apartment. oh, but the park out but ducks don't use money of course for us. okay. so they pay their rent with down the middle, the after cleaning the remaining 100 kilograms of usable down will sell for around a 1000 euro is a key low. but iceland also has a tradition of working the find the clean down is sent to the workshop of rug. now osh kosh daughter and her daughter for further processing, they use the down to make the world's most valuable, exclusive and warm is with costing up to $10000.00 euros each. their customers include princesses, the dalai lama and others. what makes their
2:45 am
down so special is it's more of the retention all consumers and the magic of either down is that it clings together. it does a separate o eval humphrey or what is in the air in the cold. it expands power, most of it. and when it's hot, it contracts the most and doesn't insulate as much as it goes back and hit the back end to make it good. and so the centuries old tradition of either down farming lives on an iceland, a tradition in harmony with nature, helping both humans and animals they're up to 22 meters long, but only around 2 meters wide, so called narrow boats. they were built for the narrow canals in britain where they

2:49 am
a new house, isn't it? a lot of those snags have been ironed out and we say to people, if you look into by boat, we definitely recommend 2nd to the costs come be cheaper. i guess it's the maintenance because people say boat stands for bone going into the 1000 and you come to expensive to maintain a vote on it. so about a 100 pounds a month. yeah. license probably just less than a 100 about a pound of them. so and that's probably insurance. yeah. stops. were dropped to say a volume. yeah. well don't weigh about 40 pounds a month full. it's countable to $220.00 pounds a month for it was sold about the lifetime. we didn't do it to save money at all. we did it the adventure didn't. yeah. yeah. own gibson and no regret. best thing. move out of the. yeah. we have some. nowadays, there are around 35000 narrow boats in the u. k. since the pandemic, the number of live aboard boats has increased the ice and on the case, can somebody even have a fault about with the people that live with me on our travels and use about this?
