Christmas is getting closer and that turkey we're planning on eating will be starting to get a bit worried. We like the traditional thing but I got to thinking, what do other people round the world like for their Christmas food?

The Romanians enjoy sarmale which are rolls of cabbage pickled in brine and filled with meat and rice.
Perhaps you would prefer the German favourite 'Weisswurst' which are sausages with veal and bacon, often flavoured with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger and cardamom.
By the way - yes they do eat turkey in Turkey - at least some do.
I would certainly be up for the Danish Christmas dish 'Flæskesteg' - roast pork steak with crackling - my favourite.
However, I'll pass on the Jamaican Christmas curried goat and also on the fish soup which seems popular at Christmas in a great many countries.
But spare a thought for the poor Japanese. Apparently, since turkey is pretty much unknown there, they go mad for Kentucky Fried Chicken and have to order it weeks in advance if they want it for Christmas.
Oh and finally, if you want to know what they have for Christmas dinner in space I am reliably informed that in the International space station they will typically be tucking into smoked turkey, candied yams, green beans and freeze-dried cornbread dressing. Yum!
