yada bla history of world food

Freakin random thoughts no one would care about.

Except isn't Ham an official staple?
And whatever happened to christmas Goose (like in Dickens?)

Many years ago there were wasteful kings and queens who cooked entire animals on spits.
When they got done eating, them and their friends would leave the scraps for the help.
Thus was born tons of weird food you wouldn't touch if you were royalty.
Traditional Christmas dishes (long list)
But that was from my head, not some book, so it needs links, proof.
OK I gotta go but Goose dinners TBA
The incredible crap people get paid to write (geez)
The modern day American family will sit down to a meal of or or this Christmas, but goose remains the traditional Christmas meat of choice for many and was long before Dickens wrote of its succulence.
It's expensive, uh, hmm.
Well and googling this lets lots of goose-sellers tell you how good goose is (geese are)
But according to the filler-article above, Dickens killed goose dinners because they're eaten by the poor, and rich people avoid poor-people food.
Because it isn't profitable.
"Kentucky Fried Goose" isn't on any map


KFC is closed on Christmas usually, which is a real bonehead thing but that's my opinion.
Some inner thought makes me want to mention "Venison" whatever that is (deer?)

What's that? Xmas Roast Pig?
Yeah but I was only wondering about goose . . ..
.
We don't eat geese because there are no sales at supermarkets, they're prolly full of fat (like a duck) and manufacturers have trouble raising tons of happy geese (Turkeys don't fly fly far) but again, that's from the common-sense in my head, not some book, Links (yada blah whatever)
More common sense ranting...Nothing I can prove nor link to....
Mass marketing venison isn't done(?), at least some filler articles would mention "Bambi" and the protests would be protestier.
More protestful?
Louder (FU, spellchecker)


What we don't eat could fill a small book. 


Anyway Goose: the crappy articles written about them obviously refer to one biggie blog I haven't found yet.
Europe has better blogs, more traditional-food varieties (if we're talking "Norman Rockwell" whites, but as a population our traditions are varied as well.)
(link)
The arthritic grandmother above might or might not be placing the large turkey on the very crowded table, and no one is really looking at her.
OTOH it might be posing for a photo (see the guy in the lower right of the picture?) 
I'm sure there's a blog for the picture but honestly, I was just wondering about traditional goose-dinners (Which Dickens killed, so OK)
Fucking snobs

I still assert that KFC buckets could be a biggie tradition, o well.
It's more of a breakfasty-thing but black pudding sausage is a tradition.
(It's a train of thought, "Haggis" must be a traditional food too)
KFH (Kent fried Haggis?)




We tried "Mince pie" and were not amused, it's like boiled granola in a pie-plate.
I haven't read the article yet, but people hated mince pie, apparently




Most traditional dishes I know about I can't eat anyway, but I would not want to cast dispersions (ie "They all suck")
But I'm voting for KFC.
