Pork? It’s called ham. The traditional Christmas Ham.
How do they come up with deer for Netherlands? Don’t think I’ve even seen that being sold anywhere
If the question is: “What type of meat is only served at Christmas and not any other time of the year?”, rather than “What’s the most commonly served meat at Christmas?”, then it’s definitely deer.
Sure, you won’t find it as tiny pieces for your “family gourmet” session. But every supermarket is selling it around Christmas.
If the question is that then pork wouldn’t be the answer in so many places
Hebben jullie geen hert in de supermarkt liggen? Of ree…
I got mine from Albert Heijn last week.
Lol, we eat EVERYTHING at Christmas
As a French person… Nobody gets turkey. Capon, yes, though it’s become too expensive so most people go for chicken.
Just wrong
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
In my family we always served both. And since I grew up in southern Jutland, my mother always estimated 1 kg of pork and 3 kg duck per person.
Yeah; that checks out!
Funny that the tradition in France, Ireland and UK is to eat a new-world animal.
It has vaguely been, when the americas were discovered, because it was exotic. So the court would have turkeys instead of geese (probably a terrible substitute though). It’s not really a thing anymore though. And neither is goose because it’s much too large.
Wouldn’t it be more logical to eat priests at Christmas?
Lamb is delicious but I have never had goose or duck.
Duck is really really good! Especially with rice flour pancakes and Hoisin sauce!
Ooh really interesting. I’m Canadian and we always had turkey for Christmas.
Chickens get the day off
Bold of you to assume people respect traditions. I had chicken.
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.
Turkey is pretty good ngl, I prefer it over ham.
Bold faced lie
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
WorstPretty Bad Color CodingEverGoose/duck is an insult to both! This is unfair!
