Food From Afar

Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, pumpkin pie. All of these foods are traditional holiday eats in our home sweet home, USA. But what about other countries? Well, I decided to find out!
People in China eat many different things during the holidays, like lotus roots fried with ginkgo! Pork tongue salad and tingling spicy chicken are also on the menu!
In France they eat a cake called La Buche de Noel. Goose is their roast turkey. And sometimes they eat oysters with crepinettes (a sort of sausage)!
If you lived in Australia, you would probably enjoy roasted duck with salad, but this mainly depends on where you live.
So before you start looking forward to a traditional American Christmas, put yourself in someone from another country’s shoes. Or clogs for that matter! p
