Traditional English Christmas Dinner is Goose!
The Turkey is an American bird. It also is not connected with Christmas but for Thanksgiving - which I believe is something like the last weekend in November although 24 November sticks in my mind for some reason. I think that the New Englanders found them in plenty when they first arrived in the New World and made their thanksgiving from that.
Please also remember that Oliver Cromwell outlawed Christmas Pudding, saying that it tasted so good that it must be the food of the devil.
This year we will have a joint of beef! Bah and Humbug to all the stuff that you are supposed to eat!
Turkeys weren't invented. OK that's not strictly true, but if you are a believer, then God had a hand in it.
Christmas was a religious festival and not surrounded by all the trappings which we have today. Christmas trees and cards were introduced by Queen Victoria's husband.
There's nothing wrong with goose or duck. The French go for lamb (without the mint sauce). In Switzerland they seem to like legs of ham stuck with cloves.
Must be KFC or Big Mac
skunks, opossums, lizards,and rats,.....but then the Pilgrims invented the turkey,.....and things have just not been the same since,.....
Of all the answers I like hasicit's it is probably right on.. but for ordinary families, I think it must have been the goose.
We have to admit that puddy is right, too...
