What traditional Christmas foods do countries have at Christmas?

Turkey, Christmas pudding, eggnog, Christmas pudding ... these are well-known Christmas specialties. The world is so big that it is always different. Let's see what countries eat at Christmas!

Britain

Let's look at Britain first! The Christmas dinner in Britain is very rich, including roast pig, turkey, Christmas pudding, dried fruit pie and so on. It is said that the custom of eating Christmas turkey has a history of more than 3 years. The average British family cooks the turkey at home, stuffing a large number of fruits and vegetables, such as carrot, celery, onion and chestnuts, into the belly of a dozen pounds of turkey, smearing a variety of spices on the surface, and then baking in the oven. The traditional Christmas pudding is also very sweet, and eating a small corner is enough!

When cooking, the whole family will participate, symbolizing reunion and harmony, and they will make a wish when stirring the dough. It is said that it is unlucky to stir the dough clockwise. Finally, a coin is hidden, and whoever eats it will get good luck for one year ~

Buchedenoel, a trunk cake in France, is a famous French Christmas food. Before electricity was invented, the French used a good wood as a Christmas present. The French are romantic by nature, and even the origin of food is romantic. Once upon a time, there was a young man who couldn't afford a Christmas present. He picked up a piece of wood in the forest and gave it to his lover. Not only did he win the beauty back, but he was out of control and stepped onto the peak of his life. Therefore, the trunk cake has also become a symbol of good luck in the coming year!

Germany

Germans also attach great importance to Christmas, and people will go home for dinner on Christmas Eve, just like China people eat New Year's Eve. The most famous Christmas food in Germany is gingerbread Lebkuchen, which is a snack between cakes and biscuits. The traditional gingerbread is made of honey and pepper, sweet and spicy, and has a stimulating taste. Nowadays, gingerbread has been improved, and a layer of icing is sprinkled on the outside. People will make blessing words on gingerbread, which is not only rich in taste, but also quite pleasing in appearance.

Australia

At Christmas, it snows heavily, while Australia in the southern hemisphere is in the hot midsummer. Australia's passionate "Midsummer Christmas" not only has a tropical style to celebrate, but also incorporates the classic elements of traditional Christmas in Europe. Although outdoor people are facing the burning sun, the shop windows are carefully decorated with winter snow, and the Christmas tree covered with snowflakes and Santa Claus wearing a red cotton-padded jacket make people feel like they are in the middle of winter in the north. This constitutes a unique holiday scene in Australia-two days of ice and fire! This sharp contrast between the hot summer and the cold winter is probably unique in western countries.

Being in the tropics, Australia's tropical fruits, seafood, cheese and wine also make the Christmas dinner "different". The Christmas barbecue party on Bonda Beach in Sydney, Australia is absolutely cozy and enjoyable. Enthusiastic Australians will barbecue all kinds of fresh seafood for you on the spot, and also deduce various fashionable and diverse ways, including coating olive oil, Chili sauce, curry, etc., which will greatly satisfy your appetite.
