The text discusses the content of the source materials of the Polish Ethnographic Atlas relating to the culinary customs accompanying the celebration. Information from settlers and displaced people who came to Lower Silesia (current borders of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship) after World War II was taken into account. First of all, the researchers’ records and representations of the memory of the interviewees concerning Christmas Eve dishes eaten in their new place of residence were analyzed. These messages indicated both the process of transmission of some culinary traditions brought by the settlers and the changes taking place under the influence of intercultural contacts. The newcomers brought with them the knowledge of dishes appropriate for times of fasting. The most popular products were groats, selected vegetables (previously preserved) and forest mushrooms foraged in autumn. Despite the fact that the settlers came from different places, the dishes they prepared had almost the same composition; only the methods of their preparation and serving showed some differences. The status of these dishes was not uniform; some of them were still common during the research, while in the case of others, a gradual departure from the tradition of eating them was noticed. The impulse for these transformations was contact with people who often had very different culinary traditions.
