This is the menu as known locally in Spanish, with a definition for each:

Pasteles = a dish that resembles a Tamale in appearance, but with a root vegetable dough and plantain leafwrapper. The dough can be made out of "masa" (mix of root vegetables and green plantain), or "yuca" (cassava). The filling is made out of either pork, chicken or ground beef, and a variety of garnishing ingredients, including chick peas, red bell peppers and olives.

Arroz con gandules = rice cooked with pigeon peas and traditional seasoning.

Lechon asao = open-fire roasted pork with traditional seasoning. Some will serve pernil instead of lechon, main difference being that the pernil is just the leg cut of pork made on a pot or casserole on the oven or stove-top.

Morcilla = blood sausage made out of pig intestines and rice filling. Often spicy.

Guineos al escabeche = boiled green bananas mixed with white onions, olives, red pepper, garlic, olive oil and other ingredients.

In addition, many people serve a variety of cold side dishes including potato salad, elbow pasta salad or a simple lettuce and tomato salad. Dinner rolls or pieces of artisan bread (pan de agua or pan sobao) are also common.

Dessert choices are varied. Most traditional are arroz con dulce (rice with coconut milk, sugar and raisins), tembleque (think of it as a very tasty coconut Jell-O) and majarete (a rice and coconut paste). Spanish turronand flan are also common.

In Puerto Rico some of the more popular Christmas traditions are eating a number of very large meals instead of just one and opening presents all day long the entire day.
