Marking Denmark down as "pork" is going to ignite civil war...

    As a French person... Nobody gets turkey. Capon, yes, though it's become too expensive so most people go for chicken.

    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.

    How do they come up with deer for Netherlands? Don't think I've even seen that being sold anywhere

    Lamb is delicious but I have never had goose or duck.

    Ooh really interesting. I'm Canadian and we always had turkey for Christmas.

    Wouldn't it be more logical to eat priests at Christmas?

    Goose/duck is an insult to both! This is unfair!

    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.

    Most McDonald's are closed on Christmas. Some people get food from Chinese restaraunts though.

    It was a jab at the President. Also, I spent way too much time in Japan because I didn’t understand why you thought fast food closes on Christmas and then I remembered that it’s a religious holiday in America.

    KFC really has become a cultural tradition for Christmas in Japan. It’s not as universal now, but it’s still pretty common.

    Traditionally, the Japanese eat fish/sushi/sashimi/shabu-shabu/ramen/expensive bentos, all sorts of stuff during the end of the year. Whatever each family prefers and can be prepared at scale.

    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).

    Pork? It's called ham. The traditional Christmas Ham.
