I think turkey being a mainstay is purely an anglo thing out of the countries that celebrate Christmas. Goose is had almost everywhere else i think.

Speaking of the goose; in Sweden we have a weekend every late autumn early winter, that is called "Mårten gås" aka Mårten's goose. It's tradition to feast on goose, but since it's a bird that often turns real dry in the oven most families has turned to chicken or turkey instead.
So I would agree that goose could feel old timey, but done right it's far from that! 😄

I only had goose once. It was drastically overcooked but still tasty. Not a lot of meat. It was very dark. If memory serves it tasted a little bit like red meat. It's darker than duck, I think.

My father loved goose and we had one most christmases here in Ireland. They are more expensive now though and I don't cook goose (even a small bird is too big for my small familly) or even a full turkey. We have a small turkey crown for one kid, another has steak as does my husband and I'm whole food, plant based so I make a nut loaf for me. I do miss the big traditional christmas dinner my mum cooked but there is no point for my family.

In southern Sweden we have "Mårten Gås" (Mårten = male first name, Gås = Goose). An old tradition in celebration of Saint Martin where it's tradition to eat goose and black soup (soup made from goose blood) at the 10th of November. I can't say I know very many people who celebrate it reguraly nowadays, but there are still a lot of restaurants who will put it on their November menus.

I hope that goose adleast had some massages before ending up as a roast, for rhat price.

I'm glad I'm not the only one making the conection between anko and marrons glacés. The texture and taste are so similar.

62 pounds for marron glacé??? WTF?! I bought them for half that price, i know there is taxes but and shiping but who ship them?

Okay, so typically I say, if it's for the holiday, it's not pretentious as it's a big celebration, you buy the best you can reasonably afford to treat yourself and your loved ones. That said, the logic on the chestnuts not being pretentious due to being a traditional long standing French treat, if you're not French I would say that makes it pretentious 🤔

The minute I saw the marrons glacés, I knew what they were, although I have never had them. My familiarity stems from various adaptations (stage and screen) of Dumas' 1848 novel "La Dame aux Camélias", wherein the main character is said (exaggeratedly) to never eat anything else. In Dumas' original text, they are called "raisins glacés", but they are definitely the same thing.

We have goose for Christmas quite often, it's what we had last year. 👍 but to be fair, we certainly didn't pay anywhere near that for it. About £20 odd I think.

Wait, did I hear that right, y'all have a special Christmas tax? Wtf kinda country do y'all live in. That is stupid and sheer insanity.

January 8, 2024 at 5:51 pm
Maybe it's a dutch or a The Hague thing, but cerisettes, or as we know them "kersenbonbons" (in this style, with a stalk and shot of brandy inside the chocolate), have been a staple at every family christmas dinner I've experienced and it surprises me that anyone would debate whether or not they are pretentious. To me they're a more common christmas item than turkey which I've only had some years.

Maybe a bit late perhaps, but yea we usually have "marrons glacés" at home for Christmas here in France, mostly eaten as a family snack after dinner, but not necessarily the ￡62 ones haha

Goose has long been traditional (and by far less expensive) on the Christmas dinner table here in Germany (more often for lunch on the 25th, with completely unpretentious Frankfurters and potato salad for an easy meal on the eve of the 24th).
In the last years, this has changed a bit here, in favour of less fatty/ heavy and more diverse meals at Christmas, but we still have the tradition (though we lack the money this year…), to do with St. Martin’s day, of going for a November goose-meal at a Restaurant.
And especially in my home-region of Franconia, in autumn and winter we have a long, absolutely delicious tradition of venison-dishes ( ragouts and tender cuts) with Klöße, cooked spicy red cabbage with apples in it, loads of dark, rich sauce, and red sweet-pickled whortleberries.
We don’t do turkey or duck for Christmas – but some old traditionalists still do carp…
Love your channel!

Just picking chestnuts is dangerous. I had a Chinese chestnut tree in my yard and you couldn’t go near the tree without super thick gloves so I never tried to harvest them. Small green porcupine.

My father raised bird dogs and hunted year round to keep food bills down. We ate a lot of game birds in season and sometimes he would get lucky and bag a goose. It sure is good.

You should come visit Canada. Our geese are carnivorous.
@maryjoyspohrer256
January 8, 2024 at 5:51 pm
Which is why I have not as yet gotten a goose for Christmas dinner although I've wanted one for years. They are about $80. US in the bunker at the grocery store. I think that your getting a deal on that nice farm raised one.
@Daminite
January 8, 2024 at 5:51 pm
I sent think that goose is pretentious but the prep may be a bit. Although most things on this channel seem to be budgeted around upper-middle and lower-upper class incomes on the low end, so milage may vary.

Playing catch up with these videos – discovered you while down with the C-word that ends with 19. Loving every video I've watched!
Goose was always our Christmas dinner (in Devon). Bought from a local farm we had it for the immediate family – maybe 14 or so people. Boxing Day we had turkey – because it was so much bigger and there were anywhere up to 30 to feed! Both days cold cuts would also be served for supper, with pickles and crusty bread. (We didn't bother with other meals – Christmas Dinner was eaten between 2 and 3, then supper at 8!) Happy memories evoked of days gone by – never to be revisited as my Mum and Dad have passed and I now live in New Zealand. Oh, and I knew what Marrons Glace were – we used to be given a box almost annually by my Dad's boss, and none of us liked them! They often ended up being given away to someone else!
