VähiPidu

Hopsalahei! Tahtsin ainult seda teada anda, et homme on meil taas kavas üks üritus - vähipidu. Eestis see vist minu arust levinud pole, aga siin, kus ma elan, selle-eest on ja loomulikult peame ju siinsetest traditsioonidest nagu ühed öiged elanikud osa vötma :).

Leidsin Wikipediast ainult inglise keelse ....vöi noh, oli seal teisigi keeli, aga panen siia blogisse ikka selle maailmas köige levinuma keele variandi (sry, enam pole jaksu seda ise eesti keelde tölkima hakata), lühikesest seletusest selle peo kohta, et te ka enam-vähem saaksite aru, millega tegemist: A crayfish party is a traditional summertime eating and drinking celebration in the Nordic countries. The tradition originated in Sweden, where a crayfish party is called a kräftskiva. The tradition has also spread to Finland via the Swedish-speaking population of that country.

Crayfish parties are generally held during August, a tradition that started because crayfish harvesting in Sweden was, for most of the 20th century, legally limited to late summer. Today, the “kräftpremiär” date in early August has no legal significance. Dining is traditionally outdoors, but in practice the party is often driven indoors by bad weather or aggressive mosquitoes. Customary party accessories are comical paper hats, paper tablecloths, paper lanterns (often depicting the Man in the Moon), and bibs. A rowdy atmosphere prevails amid noisy eating and traditional drinking songs (snapsvisa). The alcohol consumption is often high, especially when compared to the amount of food actually eaten (crayfish shelling is tedious work).

It is culturally correct to suck the juice out of the crayfish before shelling it.

On the Swedish west coast it is common to replace the fresh water crayfish with havskräfta.

Allpool paar pilti, mida ma leidsin aastaid tagasi olnud vähipidudest. Luban ka homme fotoka kaasa vötta ja jäädvustada meie mönusat koosviibimist ;).
