| Doing a classic Chrustmas goose. What else to serve? |
| Please don’t. |
| Figgy pudding. |
| Seven up salad. |
| Just do normal sides. |
| Wild rice - it will feel at home |
Why? goose is great |
| Ew. Don’t serve goose, and don’t call it “luncheon.” |
| I would literally decline an invitation to a ***luncheon.*** Like, calm down. |
Want some dry turkey instead ? |
No, but I’d love some beef tenderloin, a Honeybaked ham, or (gasp) something that isn’t Protein and Sides. Thanks for asking! |

My dad went on his one and only hunting trip when I was a teenager, and he brought some skinny dead geese home and my mom tried to cook them for Christmas and the whole thing was an epic disaster.
My sister and I still laugh about it to this day, 50 years later. |

| Mac and cheese, rolls, roast potatoes, green beans, a lot of beaujolais |

The Joy of Cooking suggests the following for "formal" Christmas dinner:
Goose stuffed with sweet potatoes and apple Turnip cups filled with peas Corn zephyrs (a kind of corn puff/muffin) Cherry pie But you might substitute fig pudding for the cherry pie. |
