LOL.. which culture is that again? Goose and duck
are very traditional to many for Christmas. In
fact, I can't personally recall having turkey for
Christmas (didn't we just do that meal at TG?) I
like to have a good roast beef or leg of lamb at
Christmas. This year I did a ham because it was
requested (coated in mustard, brown sugar and
ginger snap crumbs)
