And sadly grandma passed away this year at the age of 93. I’ll never get to ask her about the seven fish dinner.
Like Dooch said, there is not one traditional dinner. I would say prime rib roast. turkey, or ham or proably the most popular though in U.S. At least in my region.Quote:

the bar is fully stocked, but not for christmas, it's just always fully stocked. just need to grab a couple cases of beer and we're good to go.
we have some out of town visitors coming in the day after christmas and they will be staying with us for the weekend.
Throw some neckbones in the sauce. Your father will thank you.Quote:

Everyone hates England don't they? I'm sure Belgium has a reason to tell some soap dodging pommy cunt to get ready for a broken fucken arm!
It was a good bit in the 90’s and it’s even more relatable today.Quote:

Thanks my legion.
Did you eat it?
I act proper Muslim on Christmas just to be extra.
Actually nah the family does have a Christmas dinner we always treated it like any other Muslim holiday. Ofcourse this year is different but still I'm gonna eat, watch some Christmas movies and drink away and no we don't have a roast Turkey, nobody in the fam actually likes it. We go with Roast Lamb all the time. I make raw meatballs which you infidels won't know about. It's god-tier food. Manly stuff. You basically mix bulghur wheat with raw mince meat and a ton of chilli flakes. Add some other ingredients and with your bare hands you mix that for an hour before you get one of the best snack foods around.
I never had goat but I want to try it.
Goat is alright my mate's dad makes a nice goat curry.
Turks (and Greeks to be fair, sorry Han) do a great lamb spit. I used to go to a cool Turkish place with my ex all the time, since she is vegetarian we'd share this 5 dips and bread and the dips were so good, I used to smash lamb shawarma.
Lamb is the best meat imo it's very popular out here but it's pretty expensive too but it's well worth it when you have family or friends over. Lamb cutlets are fantastic for a bbq but they're the biggest rip off at almost $50 a kilo
I always wanted me some lamb meat, But in my area of the U.S its hard to find, and if you do find its expensive. But you can beef or poultry for cheap, so it isn't all bad. I have never seen goat meat ever. What nationally are eating goats?
up till about ten years ago or so people still ate horse meat down here. it's definitely on the outs now. it was never a Christmas dish just tbc.
When I was a kid we often had rabbit for my dad's birthday and sometimes for Christmas. It's my dad's favorite meat. The tradition got sort of lost when I turned vegetarian for about five years. I've been eating meat again since about six years.
Lamb meat is heavenly. It's easy to get down here and not particularly expensive. I don't recall ever having eaten goat.
I have no idea what's on the menu tonight. The new tradition in the family is that it's supposed to be a surprise.
Everybody enjoy your Christmas holiday.
