Family Recipe Potato Salad

We always had potato salad during Christmas. It was a present that I didn’t have to write on my wishlist.

Potatoes, mayo, Canned carrots and peas, Onions and cheese. That’s how Christmas day goes. When I was young there were also sausages, Though dead meat got chopped off the menu When I stopped eating meat as a New Years promise.

Soon my sister went vegan and so did the salad. A second bowl, a new baby in our family, we loved it just the same. Noodle salad ended up being the name. My sister started eating dairy again, But noodle salad stayed because it was loved. Potato salad tried pineapple and patties, fried in a pan. We share our dinner with everyone around And remember those that we lost. I taste the salt from a tear as I wipe off my mouth.
