I'm just curious :-)
Answer:
English Christmas: Usually we hold a turkey but we have also have goose (once) and roast beef (several times) or two large chickens when a turkey wasn't available.
With the turkey we serve roast and boiled potatoes, brussels sprouts near chestnuts, carrots, parsnips, redcurrant or cranberry jelly, bread sauce and gravy (made properly from the turkey juices).
Pudding (or dessert) is Christmas pudding near brandy butter (sometimes ice cream) and cream.
After that (if anyone can govern it) is cheese and biscuits (crackers), dates, dried figs, chocolates, mints, crystalised ginger and candied fruits and coffee and liqueurs.
On the table are dishes of roast, salted almonds (home made), candied crust, sugared almonds, and mini pretzels to pick at in between courses. The table adornment always used to be themed and a surprise when my mother did it and in attendance was a separate room for the dinner.
Christmas dinner is usually at 1:00 contained by our house. The morning is spent opening some presents but the foremost present opening is after dinner and until that time tea (Christmas cake, sandwiches and tea).
Boxing Day (the daytime after Christmas) is usually a buffet - a cold collation of turkey, ham, tongue, maybe a salmon or trout (boiled and cold) baked potatoes, crisps and salady things. The time of this might rise and fall, depending on the weather and whether one is going for walks or visit or whatever. One normally has neighbours and house round on Boxing Day.
I get through ham of course and some article that my wife buy.
Turkey
Stuffing next to Newfoundland Savoury
mash potatos
gravy
corn
freshly made buns
pumpkin or mincemeat pie
Actually, we own this today as well...Thanksgiving tomorrow here surrounded by Canada...
It is summer here so its other a barbeque on the beach . Lots of seafood and salads and sausages.... and steak...... Stop it
Food. Used to be Turkey when grandma and grandpa was still living. Plus adjectives the trimmings, potatoes (mashed), yams, cranberry out of the can mold, stuffing, another vegetable. Drinks kids milk or eggnog, adults Tom&Jerry alcohol drink or whatever they desired. We ate flawless.
Grandma made the most wonderful best of the best Turkey dinners! Perfect everytime!
We budge with Turkey instead of ham, but may stir out to dinner instead, even to Olive Garden! :)
Christmas Eve is for my parents, my brother, my sister & me - Mom does deli sandwich, chips, potato salad & we open our gifts and spend the evening together. Christmas Day is a HUGE breakfast time in the afternoon next to extended family invited. We do turkey & dressing, ham, mash potatoes & gravy, sweet potato casserole, green beans, fried corn, baby peas, cole slaw, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce & at lowest possible 3 - 4 desserts......a true southern tradition at my house!!
Reinder Mousse for starter followed by slow roasted Santa Clause short all his trimmings and for dessert we usually finish next to pickled dwarf with a screening of cheeses and a few Brandies
Lunch
Turkey, stuffing, bacon rolls, brussel sprouts, baked potatoes, gravy
Supper
Ham, sausage rolls, pickles, Christmas cake.
turkey dressing peas salad
for my relations it's basically Round 2 of Thanksgiving . . . we enjoy turkey, ham, macaroni and cheese, stuffing with gravy, greens, potato salad, yams, rolls . . and an assortment of desserts . . . I don't dream up I left anything out . . .
Since it's just the two of us, concluding year I got two Cornish spectator sport hens and roasted them instead of a huge turkey. My cheesy broccoli stuffing casserole, and maybe some asparagus next to hollandaise, and a salad with feta or blue cheese.
No sweet stuff here. My husband and I don't watchfulness for them.
My cousins put on a huge spread of appetizers, huge turkey, all the trimmings, and tons of champagne! (Yes, we took a hackney carriage.)
We are a big family so it vary on side dishes alot,but mainly we own turkey,ham,prime rib,or lamb...(deep fried turkeys this year)
*traditional dishes such as green bean casserole,bread dressings,mashed potatoes & gravy,dinner rolls or italian bread,yam/sweet potato casserole,
and desserts of pecan pie,cherry pie, apple pie,sweet breads/rolls,etc...
We have roast goose & ducks along beside a ham. Some in our kith and kin do not like the frenzied meats. Then its cooked carrot & some salads. with huckleberry pie for dessert
We have traditional Ukrainian foods, meatless, on Christmas Eve. That is our big celebration.
Well, since my family works profusely, we usually eat out as a nearest and dearest. But on Christmas Eve, we make my grandma's special potato pancakes (Asian twist) and coconut waffle (also with an Asian twist) for dinner. It's a mini tradition.
