| I’m vegetarian, so a little excuse, but I’m not sure which (or what) people are referring to for a formal/celebration/Christmas dinner? |

| Definitely not pork. That’s low brow. |

| When people say they are making a "roast" they generally are referring to beef. If they were using pork then normally they will qualify it by saying pork roast or roast pork. |

| isn't the picture with the little chef's hats on the ribs a pork roast? (I don't eat meat from 4 legged animals, if that's an excuse for ignorance) |

And is that considered low class as this thread says? I thought that was super fancy.... |

We have crown roast at Christmas or Easter and consider it a holiday dish. Ham is a pretty common holiday meat (it’s not really roasted, though). So not really sure what that point meant by low class |

We do pork roast on NY day, and beef rib roast for Christmas Day. Seafood on Christmas Eve. NYE is for all the fancy little things.
Got all the bases covered
