AlwaysHolidays: On the Eighth Day of Christmas

Arthur Bovino and Maryse Chevrière — December 19, 2009

Technically, the Twelve Days of Christmas don’t start until Christmas Day, but we’re already in the spirit. To celebrate over the next four days, here’s the carol, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ AlwaysHungry-style, featuring some dishes we tasted in 2009 that we’d be willing to sing about.

Eight Maids a Milking. Today’s food carol verse is a dairy bonanza.

It begins:

On the eighth day of Christmas, my waiter brought to me… eight, made with milk-in,

 

From MARK Burger, Guinness Milkshake.

From left: The ChipShop’s Welsh Rarebit, Coffee Shop’s Pão de Queijo, and The Breslin Bar & Dining Room’s Oven Baked Three Cheese Sandwich.

From Agnanti, Saganaki.

From left: Momofuku Milk Bar AlwaysHungry-constructed Ice Cream Sandwich, Resto’s Waffle Chocolate Stout Ice Cream Sandwich, and Five Points’ Macaroni & Cheese.

 

The rest of the carol would go:

Seven soups worth sipping,

Six eggs for feasting,

Five on-ion rings.

Chicks from four birds,

Three fried ‘French hens,’

Two desserts for two,

And Felidia’s pear ravioli.
