What foods are included in the Christmas dinner?
In the West, as long as it is a family dinner enjoyed at Christmas, it is called a Christmas dinner. However, there are several traditional foods that are indispensable for Christmas, such as Christmas turkey, smoked ham, Christmas salmon, Christmas pudding and so on.
In the traditional Christmas dinner, roast pig and ham were popular in the earliest days; later it was turkey and salmon. In short, it is mainly meat. In addition to meat, red wine is required for Christmas dinner. Christmas red wine has a special drinking method: add brown sugar, orange peel, almonds, raisins and other condiments to the wine, then stir while heating on the fire (be careful not to boil), and finally pour a little vodka. After boiling, make a cup Stomach, it’s really fragrant and warm.
Another part of the Christmas dinner is desserts, such as biscuits and cakes. This kind of food is usually prepared on Christmas Eve. The family sits together to make it. Children also like to participate in this kind of things that they find interesting, because Christmas cakes can be made according to their favorite shapes and tastes. When making Christmas cakes in Swedish-speaking countries, people will deliberately put a whole almond. Whoever eats this only intact almond is the god of luck in the New Year. Of course, the god of luck has prizes. The Nordic people often reward the god of luck with a small pig-shaped biscuit wearing a red bow tie; in the Netherlands and Germany, it is the little black Peter. It can be seen that eating Christmas dinner in the West can not only be a real treat, but also can appreciate a very interesting culture.
