We're hosting Christmas for the first time ever, and my English family are coming over. They want a traditional Christmas lunch, which I'm very happy to provide, and I'm wondering how you all do it.
Does Edeka sell turkeys? Can I just order one? And what size do I need for 6 adults and some small people
What on earth is sausage meat (to make stuffing with) in German? German sausages are so different to English ones. Would pork mince work? I like vegetarian stuffing, but would prefer to make a meat one too.
Can I buy mixed peel (for mincemeat)? Or should I candy the rinds of lemons and oranges myself? Fuck that What about suet? Or is butter a better bet?
And where can I find parsnips?! I haven't seen any all autumn!
I'm in Hamburg, if that makes any difference.
