1. Roasted turkey: Roasted turkey is an essential dish on the traditional American Christmas table. Europeans used to like roast geese very much. After immigrating to America, they wanted to eat geese, but they didn't keep them well. In this case, they changed to eat turkey, only to find that turkey is more delicious than goose. In addition, there are many turkeys in North America, so the habit of eating turkeys has been passed down gradually, and turkeys have become American holiday dishes.
2. Roasted beef ribs: Taking beef ribs as the main course of Christmas dinner is the favorite choice of Americans. Different from the usual fried steak, Christmas dinner pays attention to the reunion atmosphere of sharing food with family, so the steak is also baked in the oven and cut into pieces when eating.
3, roast suckling pig: Westerners are used to putting a whole roast suckling pig on the table of Christmas dinner, while people in Britain and the United States also like to put an apple in the pig's mouth. This habit may come from some big families, because only big families can eat a pig. Later, some ostentatious people followed suit when they invited guests at Christmas.
4. Christmas ham: Christmas ham is also one of the star dishes in American Christmas dinner. Christmas ham is usually baked or smoked with the whole ham. There are many kinds of sauces to choose from, and they are all cut off one by one when eating.
5. Cranberry jam: At Christmas, this is the most popular time for cranberry jam. Cranberry sauce tastes sour and sweet, and many people regard it as a sweet sauce for spreading bread. In fact, for Americans, this kind of sweet and sour juice is the best with meat. At Christmas dinner, cranberry sauce is usually served with turkey, sometimes with duck or ham.
