Germany etc.: fried carp or goose, as in contact-heated with oil or fat?
We usually bake both in the oven.
This seems inaccurate. Just speaking for USA and Ukraine. Imo. Turkey for Christmas? Maybe but there other things i can think of specifically for christmas for USA. And sarma for Ukraine is not necessarily right either if we talking Christmas. Also sadly map is not complete, where Luxembourg?
“I’m popular!” -Turkey
Gourmetten is basically a bit of everything, you just choose what you want.
It’s just a plate with hot oil and you just make something yourself. Some sets can include a pizza oven, others a mini deepfryer.
It’s perfect for not having to commit to one thing.
Spain, why do you enjoy eating baby pigs? 😢
Growing up I never ate anything but sheep ribs for Christmas. (western part of Norway)
Turkey? In portugal? what? If you say cod or lamb yeah, but turkey?
Baccalà – Bacalhau alliance 🇮🇹🇵🇹
In Croatia it’s actually very different by regions.
Turkey is mainly in northern part, by the sea people eat bakalar (Atlantic Cod), in eastern and central part roast pork.
I’m not so sure for Istrians what’s their thing.
At the first glance I noticed Greece labeled Turkey and got really confused for a moment.
Kūčiukai is extremely popular, yes, and eaten by everyone, but I wouldn’t really call it a dish. It’s more of a snack/cookie type of thing.
Oh dear. Gourmetten in the Netherlands. The only time when Knorr and Honig duchies feel they are ‘cooking’ something ‘homemade’. Truly the most disgusting when compared with all the lovely and tasty dishes in the rest of Europe and the world. Luckily no one else has been infected with this kitchen.
I hate turkey. Dry and disgusting
greeks eating TURKEY? new war inc? 😱
Wait a damn minute, no one else eats Christmas duck??
While I believe that fried carp is the most popular Christmas dish in Czechia I will still be part of schnitzel resistance. DOWN WITH THE TYRANNY OF THE CARP!!!
Fun fact for Denmark:
Goose was the preferred choice for centuries, but was replaced by duck during the 20th century. It was mainly due to duck being more practical than goose, so everyone could enjoy the same Christmas dinner.
Ducks are cheaper and more abundant and they are faster to prepare than geese. They are also more suitable to smaller parties, since it became less common with large parties of 20+ people after the industrialization and women entering the workforce.
So the tradition was changed to make Christmas dinners easier. Pork in any variety is also a staple though.
Turkey ? Roosters are more popular.
This is inacurate we dont eat fish soup lmao and töltöt káposzta is just sarmale but in hungarian
Carp in Germany? Thought it was specific to post-soviet part of the Europe.
Totally agree with fried carp. I’m only eating it on Christmas. It’s like one of those dishes that don’t taste the same when eating it at different time.
But I would also add herring. Many people hate carp and replace it with herring
Is this really true? I doubt duck is more popular in Denmark then pork.
