   Sister in law is Polish. Lovely girl. On Christmas Day, brother informed me of the fact they had a LIVE CARP in their bath for days and ate it on Xmas Eve. Feel like more people need to be aware of this tradition.

     @fesshole the real tradition is two carps, with the other set free into the nearest pond.

     @fesshole The Tesco near me tried to sell carp for a while, discontinued. They are just not good eatin'. I found a washed up lobster pot and kept the lobsters in my shower for a few days, so I get it.

     @fesshole Sure, it keeps the carp fresh, but no one has a bath for days?!! 😀
