Cooking Duck

[gardener]

Just had an idea Snoopysur - here the most common meal on the 24th is smoked loin of pork serve with caramel-coated potatoes. You have those in Denmark don't you? Can you think of some vegetarian alternative to smoked pork to serve with them? I can't think what would stand up to that sweetness. Oh, and nothing too complicated as I have enough to do

yes we do eat caramel potatoes. What about some vegetarian meatballs (frikadeller), those could be made ahead of time and frozen! There aren't many vegetarians in Denmark so my collegues couldn't really help. I suppose a nut roast sort of thing would be good as well.

try this?!

Thanks. That looks good but having nut roast on the 25th when the rest have turkey so I want a bit of contrast

Sorry about your duck NL. There never is much meat on a duck!

I thought Goose was the tradition to eat at Christmas?
Never eaten it mind.

Apparently until about the 1950's goose was the norm, then turkeys started being mass produced and became cheaper, and therefore more popular!
We always had turkey at home, and usually my danish in laws have roast duck and roast pork - so the goose is a departure for all if us!
