In England, the evolution of the main course into turkey did not take place for years, or even centuries. At first, in Medieval England, the main course was either a peacock or a boar, the boar usually the mainstay.
During the late 17th century it then became common to serve Goose. And despite the arrival of turkey into Great Britain by the French Jesuits in the mid 18th century, Goose remained the predominate roast until the early 20th century when battery farming made Turkey financially viable for most people (it was quite common for Goose "Clubs" to be set allowing working class families to save up over the year towards a Goose before this).
The dessert of a British Christmas Dinner may often be Christmas Pudding. Trifle, Mince pies, Christmas Cake or a Yule Log are also popular. Enjoy the follow video recipe of the Christmas Turkey with Cranberry sauce by Nigella Lawson.
Mulled Wine is a traditional drink drank during winter and the most popular variations around the world is red wine combined with spices such as cinnamon sticks, vanilla pods, cloves, citrus and sugar. And I really like that it is served warm. The best drink you can have in the outdoors at a Christmas Fair.

This is a traditional Hungarian food and the locals cannot resist it. The best form is the smoked sausages and it is great even if you just 'slap' some mustard on them and eat it with some home-made bread. Some locals eat it with a pickled mixed vegetables called Csalamádé.

A rich, flowery white wine from Hungary with strong minerality, I like when a wine is refreshing, not too heavy.

Poffertjes are a traditional Dutch batter treat. Resembling small, fluffy pancakes, they are made with yeast and buckwheat flour.
They can also be served with other sweet garnishes, such as stroop (syrup), slagroom (whipped cream) or aardbeien (strawberries), for added flavor.
Poffertjes is also familiar in Indonesian cuisine through its historical ties as the former Dutch colony. Poffertjes is thought to be related to and to have influenced Indonesian kue cubit.
