Menudo – a Christmas morning tradition in northwestern states, Menudo is a tripe and hominy soup. Menudo is often prepared the night before (Christmas Eve) as its cooking time can take up to 5 hours.

In a part of Greece called Kozani, the traditional Christmas dish is called "giaprakia" which is pickled cabbage stuffed with pork meat and rice. The preparation starts on November the 14th by putting the cabbages in salt water and tending them each day till Christmas Eve. So it's a full 40 day preperation.

Traditional English Xmas cake ... which is cooked months ahead and then matures being refilled with alcohol periodically during that time ;)

One of the most famous and labor-intensive dishes in Venezuelan gastronomy is without a doubt the Hallaca. This culinary masterpiece is the most traditional dish prepared at Christmas.

Christmas dinner to calculate the cost and time of each which revealed Nigella Lawson to be the celebrity chef putting home cooks to the test for the longest. Her festive feast takes 41.5 hours (2,490 minutes) which is over 1.7 days, meaning preparations must start on the 23rd! Her ‘spiced and super juicy turkey,’ which had a cameo appearance in Gavin and Stacey, requires being soaked in a bucket of infused water for up to two days before roasting.

Umm, I believe this is the fourteenth game.

Is price supposed to be prize*?

Unfortunately not familiar with other dishes and nothing popped up on search for longest prep time, so will go with an American dish.

Which is the turkey, usually takes days(or week in some cases) to thaw or brine before even making it to the oven to be cooked. Also depending on size takes a considerable cook time.

Turkey will be my answer, guess if wrong I will learn something new, lol.

Menudo is a dish that takes a very long time to prepare. Four to seven hours cooking is required. We have a similar soup in my country that takes just as long to preapre but it's very delicious,
