Funny that the tradition in France, Ireland and UK is to eat a new-world animal.
Wouldn’t it be more logical to eat priests at Christmas?
Marking Denmark down as “pork” is going to ignite civil war…
Yepp. we had duck. some have both pork and duck. this varies a lot
As a French person… Nobody gets turkey. Capon, yes, though it’s become too expensive so most people go for chicken.
How do they come up with deer for Netherlands? Don’t think I’ve even seen that being sold anywhere
No one chooses turkey over other meats at any other time of the year. Except for maybe as lunch meat on a sandwich. It can be okay, but almost never is. I don’t know why we choke it down during holidays. We’re allowed to make new traditions, you know.
Back when I bothered with this, we had turkey at TG, and ham at Xmas. But, any of the choices would be fine, except for fish. Unless it’s salmon, that would be okay, but not what I’d choose. I’ve never had venison, but I’d be willing to try.
We normally have fish, it’s actually really good cause we eat it prepared in various ways and not just straight meat, it was also preceded by barszcz with pierogi
I know the answer is because beef just hasn’t traditionally been practical, but it’s just not Christmas without a roast beef and au jus. What a travesty. (Yes, USA here).
