Who are going to have the heaviest christmas meal?
-
I wonder in which countries you'll get the richest christmas meal, in terms of pure calories. The international nature of this forum makes it the perfect place to ask! We are going to feast on the following dishes: Fried duck and pork roast with, boiled and sweetened red cabbage, gravy and caramelised potatoes. For desert is a rice desert with cream and cherry sauce. After that, I count on getting my appetite back around wednesday this week :-) Christian Skovdal Andersen "I have a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel." -Edmund, Blackadder III

We'll be having: Deep fried turkey, glazed ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes & gravy, green bean casserole, and pineapple and cherry pies for desert. Wednesday sounds about right...

Cabbage? Why spoil a good meal with healthy foods? It's bad enough having to eat sprouts over christmas. X| Simon Hey, it looks like you're writing a letter! Sonork ID 100.10024

Roast stuffed turkey, pork and ham; roast potatoes and pumpkin; gravy, beans, cauliflower with rich cheese sauce, all followed by a traditional plum pudding with double thickened cream (the stuff you can turn upside in a bowl and it won't even wobble), trifle and assorted chocolates, all washed down with bottles of wine. ...and that's just lunch. cheers, Chris Maunder

Germany wins it all, we eat through three days. You have to visit all relatives, and they expect you to stay for lunch, some bakery goods & coffee in the afternoon (this alone has enough calories to solve the problems of an average 3rd world country), and, of course, in the evening there must be "just something" (mostly heavy & extensive). Most families follow strict traditions, evening of 24st (where we typically exchange gifst with our closest) it's either fish (carp) or potato salad with steak or sausage. 1st and 2nd holiday classics include goose, duck, deer. Typically lot's of meat, with... stupid alta vista doesn't know "Klöße", it's potatoes on steroids. It's really sick.

Don't worry: You take the poor red cabbage, and cook it with sugar, sherry and vinegar, until all the vitamins has disappeared. Christian Skovdal Andersen "I have a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel." -Edmund, Blackadder III

Yeah, you germans really know how to cook a heavy meal :-) I remember some years ago, I was riding by bicycle through northern Germany, and every few kilometers, there was these farms, selling all kinds of homemade stuff. Most of it was very large sausages, hams, eggs, and lot's of butter. Kinda neat, actualley. It's a mystery to me, that you guys are not getting any fatter -than other european populations.

The food is heavy, but it's well stuffing too (compared to the all american type). The feast around Christmas would be ok if we kept the tradition to.... "fasten" (eat much less) mid-february to easter. My family was on reduced christmas this year (oh happily!) potato salad with some steaks yesterday, and pork, sauerkraut+knödel today. And no lady at my side whose parents we would have to visit tomorrow - sometimes, only sometimes it pays ;)
