Here's to a traditional English Christmas Dinner! The tradition of serving stuffed goose or turkey at Christmas time was apparently common prior to Queen Victoria's reign in London and the Southern part of England. When Queen Victoris rose to the throne chickens and turkeys were too expensive for the majority to enjoy. Northern England mostly opted for roast beef while London and the south, enjoyed mostly stuffed goose. At the time, it was quite common for Goose "Clubs" to be set up allowing working class families to save up over the year towards a goose before this. As most of you probably recall, Dicken's A Christmas Carol (1843), describes a traditional Christmas dinner with tukey as the main course... well... shall we say... both are delicious! Here is an easy recipe for meat-lovers! Enjoy! |
