Denmark is definitely also duck but roast pork is often a side.
No Beef Wellington in the UK?
Never heard of people eating duck or goose in Switzerland.
Slovenia is not a duck
In Italy is not pork, at least not in northen Italy
Sweden is pork, fish and in some parts turkey.
Portugal acting as if it’s not fish every day.
in Denmark its definitely not pork its duck, pork sometimes is served as a side, but some dont even have it on the table.
Fish for Poland is accurate for 24.12. Thats the only acceptable type of meat to eat during that day if you take part in Christmas.
Germany is very diverse in this regard, some have traditionally goose or chicken, some have carp, some deer or wild boar and some just sausage and potato salad
Turkey is not a french Christmas dish
Weird that not a single one is beef.
Doesn’t look good for the pigs
Ham is just as important in Ireland as turkey.
I see no langostinos in spain, bad map.
Russia’s part is wrong, we don’t eat pork at Christmas. At least it’s definitely not the main type of meat
The story with fish (to be exact, Carp) being the Christmas dish in Poland is wild. After WW2, the communist government struggled to keep people satisfied with the amount of food, or lack thereof, in a rebuilding nation. They vowed to get meat on the table for their disgruntled citizens, at least for Christmas, but distribution of refrigerated meat proved too challenging in a country where a household fridge wouldn’t be a common thing for a long while (THANKS COMMUNISM). To circumvent the issue of keeping meat from spoiling, they opted to… provide live carps. Yes, live carps, that you had to keep alive yourself in your bathtub until Christmas – because when it’s alive, it doesn’t spoil.
Now, people forgot that this whole „tradition“ was started by commies and still buy live carp for Christmas.
How many people have ever actually eaten a goose?
I’ve eaten all over the world, all kinds of craziness, been traveling for decades working for an airline and have never once seen goose on a menu anywhere, ever. Never seen any meat for sale at a store or butcher, either.
Small correction, In Czechia the traditional food is carp, but many people (my family included) rather eat řízek instead (fried chicken tender in bread crumbs) with poatato salad.
But still it’s normal to see people selling live carps in many places few days before christmas. Most often in front of supermarkets and on some town square markets.
Is this ragebait? On Christmas?! 😂 I don’t think I’ve ever had venison, let alone for the holidays. For us, it used to be traditional to have a whole chicken.
But the real Dutch Christmas tradition is tabletop grill aka ‚gourmetten‘.
Never had deer or stag for Christmas lol
De la dinde en France ……
Norway has three main meals eaten at Christmas, one is pretty standard and frankly boring: pork ribs, usually eaten in the southeastern part of the country. The other two are far more interseting and steeped in local history: Lutefisk, which is dried fish, cured in Lye, which is then rehydrated before Yule and eaten with bacon, peas and other sides. It’s a lot nicer than it sounds.
The other is sheep ribs, cured and dried in salt. Again, this is rehydrated before Christmas and finally steamed over birch sticks (giving the dish it’s name: stick meat)
It’s served with sides of turnip mash, potatoes, prunes and local variances. The stick meat is by far my favourite, not only for it’s history and local uniqueness- but for the wonderful way the meat and sides create a lovely sweet and salty flavour bomb.
The Dutch are very ambivalent I noticed. They can put everything on the *gourmetstel* and be happy. If going for a more luxury dinner then yes maybe venison is on the table for the main course, but that’s not as much as a given as this map makes it look like.
I myself switched from largely to entirely vegetarian for Christmas this year. Aside from my sister, the others had salmon, tuna, beef, pork, it’s been kinda a mess. My chosen family had lots of seafood, and duck meat (and again I had planty of mushrooms and legumes for myself)
In Poland fish is eaten on Christmas Eve. Christmas dinner is focused around meat, without dominating type.
Who made this crap up? I haven’t heard people generally eat deer at Christmas in Netherlands… We have basically no wildlife here so it would be a quite odd choice. Salmon and Beef/Pork would be dominant.
In Poland we eat fish on Christmas Eve. On Christmas we eat any kind of meat except chicken
Another day, another shit map on this sub. Fish is eaten on Christmas Eve, in Portugal, which isn’t proper Christmas. Christmas day lunch is always meat (mostly turkey, in some places it’s ham/pork).
Christmas Day or Christmas Eve?
In Norway it’s a debate about sheep or pig, Ribbe or Pinnekjøt.
Some people eat Turkey or fish, but those are minorities.
We eat Lamb in my city in Norway, the main place for pork is the capital. In the north its very normal to eat fish

Norway should be shown split three ways pork/lamb/fish. There is a regional preference for either of those, but in many cases all three end up on the family’s Christmas table
