As a French person… Nobody gets turkey. Capon, yes, though it’s become too expensive so most people go for chicken.
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
Wouldn’t it be more logical to eat priests at Christmas?
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.
Funny that the tradition in France, Ireland and UK is to eat a new-world animal.
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).
