How is Canadian christmas dinner different from other christmas dinners around the world?

What are the different main foods?


What, if any are the different traditions at christmas dinner around the world?


I'd really appreciate the details and any links to helpful websites if you have any.|||Hi ! :)





Here in Trinidad and Tobago, usually, we don't have a formal "dinner". We have Ham, Turkey, Pastelles, and basically any other food like Christmas Rice (Fried rice with raisins in it) and Chicken, usually baked. However, the interesting thing about our Christmas dinner is that we have a very informal dinner, usually a "Parang Band" - a group of people, similar to carolers, except they sing nacemientos(songs about christ in spanish) in a style that americans would experience during cinco de mayo... you may youtube it if you'd like. These bands are rather informal, and are usually a group of people just having fun. Historically, this was a widely accepted thing, however, as of recent, people aren't that fond of strangers coming into their homes (Youtube Marcia Miranda's Theifing Parang Band)





Hope I helped ^.^ Oh and Trinidad and Tobago is the southern most Caribbean Islands in the caribbean island chain. We are NOT jamaica or any part of jamaica -.-' lol sorry just usually people see caribbean and instantly think "Jamaica" and "Reggae" %26gt;.%26lt;





Hope I helped ^.^|||Well i doubt the English dinner is much different to be honest. Christmas day after the gift swapping we have Turkey %26amp; all the trimmings....





*turkey


*roast potatoes


*sausages n bacon


*stuffing balls


*carrots


*brussel sprouts


*parsnips


*peas %26amp; sweetcorn





then after main meal, it is generally followed by xmas pudding.. :D|||Our Christmas/Yule dinners aren't really different than other Christmas dinners. Sometimes my family likes to have lamb but I think that's more, like, Italian than Canadian ...
