What is the English name for the Italian traditional feast that consists of seven different types of seafood dishes?
Answer Feast of Seven Fishes
Also known as "The Vigil" or "La Vigilia" in Italian, this tradition comes from the idea that Christmas should be a fasting day, which means no meat. Examples of seafood included in the dishes are shrimp, clams, mussels, cod, eels, anchovies and sardines. There are several hypotheses surrounding the reason for the number seven, many of which are religious in nature.
