Unlike our typical Christmas Eve feast where there is an abundance of meat, with jamon being a staple on the dining table, Provence’s “Great Supper” is rather austere and meat-free. Seven kinds of dishes are served, mostly consisting of vegetables and fish. Each of these dishes are supposed to represent the seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary.
