Festive food for Christmas

What will you be eating this Christmas? See how many of these delicious dishes you have tried!

 

Roast Turkey in US

Mmm Turkey

In the United States Of America, the traditional Christmas meal is often a roast turkey, served with cranberry sauce and two sorts of stuffing: the usual breadcrumbs, herbs and onion version and another sort made from cornbread.

Americans like to serve mashed potatoes with their meal, rather than roast potatoes.

But the United States is made up from people of many different lands, so different cultures have lots of special dishes to enjoy. For example:

December is crostoli

Italian-Americans cook crostoli, a fried bread made with orange peel.

Zimtsterne und Pfeffernuesse

German-Americans like Pfeffernuesse, which is a sweet, spiced bread.

 

Lumberjack Pie
