RE: Day 16 - Advent Calendar 2025, Win prize everyday! 🎄🎁

In my culture, we have various traditional dishes for the holiday season. But one common dish you will always find during the holidays, both at home, at night bars, or even high-end restaurants, is "Isi ewu," meaning goat head. Many people believe it's the sweetest part of goat meat, and honestly, I think so, too!

It's a very delicious dish that's often served in a wooden mortar, as shown in the picture. The mortar gives it a really traditional feel, added with the leaves and local spices used in the preparation. This dish is usually served with palm wine or alcohol, as preferred. Personally, this meal gives me hope that culture is still alive and upholding it continues from the little things like making our traditional meals always available during every holiday period.
