is this the world's most elaborate christmas dinner? all these dishes make up a single meal. it's the color in every christmas eve classic from poland. does it give you a menu? alicia's family friendly. she 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 people when you have a restaurant in warsaw as known for its traditional published dishes, head ship. sure stuff, kolowski prepares the vig delia menu every day. dani all fucked up. 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 and is shown in catholic poland. the association with the less 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 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. we need something we and 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, but now that it's a quarter to 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 birth of jesus. this is followed by another tradition. the announcement pinkney should tell you one, especially beautiful custom is the breaking of the house to go with it. that is the white bread, the way for 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 beginning, a 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 boiled poppy seeds and mixed them with cooked wheat. and then we had various other nights. so thomas,

on and hunting and g email. it's no coincidence that poppy seeds are used in the desert. the poppy is poland. national flower tended seeds are a staple of the cuisine time to serve the meal. the head chef takes a seat across from the restaurant manager to gives us a brief description of the dishes. get some cods, i'm a futile just couple of things about the 1st course is herb to mushroom perot gate, which followed by hiring with mushrooms cream herring. this should be the and herring and linseed oil all i own. yeah. and then add to that the surgeon. so it builds dumplings, various soups and deserts. ready to polish families all these dishes on christmas eve and a restaurant or at home. on those things too, i found myself extremely lucky that my wife trained at a catering school zone,

that's why we always cook for our selves at home. so that's the goal, only is i'll 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 call you and say, go help it all. my mazda kids, 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 that other fund, 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 key. 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

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 like being around the ducks, but i have no idea what they see in me across that and 1st had run through a lot, at least they haven't left me so far. nashua they seem to like coming back to the left. there's the the ducks get up there, said there's and are protected in turn,

ducks of numerous predators like foxes and martin's rain as another of the owner. 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 chicks would survive. someone has to keep watch around the clock. on the 1st wife, yona now takes the 1st watch. the farm has its own look out, tell her 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 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 or peter 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 when i send them to you the ducks give us down and we protect them. oh,

it's not funny. just like when people visit 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 of off, after cleaning the remaining 100 kilograms of usable down will sell for around a 1000 euros the kilo. but iceland also has a tradition of working the find. the clean down is sent to the workshop of rag. not 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 down so special is it's one retention oh punches. and the magic of either down is that it clings together. it does a separate o eval humphrey there. what is in the air in the cold it expand secret power. most of it and when it's hot, it contracts the most and doesn't insulate as much as i can. i'm hipaa looked into making good and so this century's 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 used to transport various goods. nowadays, many of these unusual vessels have been converted into house boats. what's it like to live on a floating home? it's no secret that our physical surroundings affect our happiness. colon anthony sold their house to cruise the waterways of northwest england full time. is it cheaper than living in a house? and why did they make such a radix to change it? so i've got trucks in this race is let's buy a house, pay the mortgage off. so what else could we do to enhance our lives? i guess we used to hire a small boat every year for about 13 years and just for the day and we bought the dog along the canal pumped into a lady, said she sold a house and bought about just the best thing she'd have it done. and we thought, wow, this is something that we could maybe really seems like, think about it,

you get to an age and your life where you realize what you know, what is important in life. we have friends and family that were passing away. we thought this life is an address we have, so we need a bit of adventure in our lives. let's just do something different for welcome. this is that one hour ago. it's 60 feet long. it's 6 foot 10 wide, and it's just over here. old. the boat was cold moaning, so he stepped from the stand straight into the galley, which is the best lie out, what do you think for us? and then you step into what is known as the dine, that's on the boat because we can sit and have friends around. we can play cards. and this also converts into a double bed. and then you step into what is known as our living area on about is called a silly. and then we've got an l shaped sofa that converts into effects the gas. because ro tv from the house and the sound of the home, we will settle down the butcher film. we've got quite a compact factory, but it's got a full 5 shower. we've got a really nice basin and a compulsive toilet. been to the bedroom, which you may think is really small,

but it's bigger than what they had on our life and our about, i mean that the folding for small double size beds, but it does pull out is what king size budget is quite easy. so on that, so just take seconds. paul is an artist and former magician and anthony is a cent algrove firm. they also run their own youtube channel long narrow boat living before steam power boats narrow boats were used to transport goods along the u. k. is extensive, waterways, narrow boats played a key commercial lead from the late 17 hundreds to the 1st world war colon. and then he started living on a narrow boat in 2020. so how much does it actually cost them? how about like this $1.00 cost around $200000.00 pounds. well that's because it's a brand new bio. it's 60 feet long and it's got sky light. so he's got a full size open and it's electric propulsion. what you can pick up

a really decent 2nd. i'm bo, for about 5060000 pounds. and you know, it's like 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 boat on it. so about a 100 pounds a month. yeah. license probably just less than a 100 about 8 pounds a month. and that's probably insurance. yeah. stops. were dropped to say about to yeah. wouldn't weigh about 40 pounds of them. so it's countable to $220.00 pounds a month for all of the sold about the lifetime. we didn't do it to save money at all. we did it the invention. yeah. yeah. own gibson and no regret. best thing we've ever done isn't that? yeah, except nowadays, there are around 35000 barrel boats and the u. k. since the pandemic, the number of little board boats has increased the ice and on the case than

something we never fold about with the people that live with me on our travels a news about this in a while, you haven't fallen. anthony, are classed as continuous cruisers. for ccs, which means they move their boat every 2 weeks. this way they avoid home warning fees because of anthony's job. they don't travel too far. you're considering a huge lifestyle change and definitely think your research wasn't something we did on when we we saw planned, we put things in place to make it work for us. and if you continue something like this, the may be higher results to make sure the documents for you, cuz it isn't prep riveted. but for poland, anthony, it was definitely the right choice. next, stop. another unusual place to stay. it might look like a normal hotel which offers its guests a cozy and safe harbor,

but it also offers its employees the same. hotel, marked us, has been getting refugees, work and recognition for years. the hotel marked us in vienna has been built as austria's 1st social hotel who i am on their ends is sort of gave me a 2nd chance. it's been i'm for reba and i feel at home here service. hm. awesome. hello, my name is avella. this job has changed my life over there. i'm here at the mag does hotel indiana. now this may look like an ordinary place to stay, but if you take a closer look inside, you will see that this hotel has a very unique story behind. it operates like any other hotel, but this particular establishment is supported by the catholic carried tests, relief, organization, hotel monitors. his goal is to give people with disadvantage backgrounds who had to leave their countries another chance and access to the job market. over and over

from ukraine is one of the employees here. the single mother came to vienna in 2022 when war broke out in her country. place for me, it's like, uh, 2nd bunch shelter, baltimore q for looks like in ukraine. she feels protected here and says if it works for this job, she may have had to go back to you frame the attention to detail in the individual rooms is noteworthy. these hangers, for example, were hand woven and these glasses were cut from wine bottles. many of the other items were also up cycled. so what many people don't realize is that this plays house catholic priests for more than 50 years. and one indication of that is that on the 6th floor, there is a small chapel, right? this way about 50 people can fit in here comfortably and it's used today for

weddings, funerals and baptism come back down at the hotel bar. abdullah is finding his way around the coffee machine of don't also flight his home country of somalia because their personal stories are often to to and sizing. we weren't permitted to speak to the employees about why they flip their countries. but of dollar is willing to tell us how this job has helped him, the he tells me financially, and there's like a lot of people here who like to help in different places. like if you need to make a passport. yeah, they help a lot. i need to tell me a lot, i don't know exactly where, but it's going to help me because i'm still new and the idea use these possibilities yet. so there's 2 open for me. 16 nationalities are represented here . i've just been here for a short while, but already just walking around,
