It was the custom to eat goose at Christmas until Henry VIII decided to tuck into a turkey.
93 per cent of the population in the Uk will eat turkey on Christmas Day; this means 11 million turkeys being cooked!.
Theturkey was imported to France by the Jesuits and it is still known in some French dialects as a 'Jesuite'.
Christmas puddingwas first made as a kind of soup with raisins and wine in it.
One notable medieval English Christmas celebration featured a giant, 165-pound pie. The giant pie was nine feet in diameter. Its ingredients included 2 bushels of flour, 20 pounds of butter, 4 geese, 2 rabbits, 4 wild ducks, 2 woodcocks, 6 snipes, 4 partridges, 2 neats' tongues, 2 curlews, 6 pigeons and 7 blackbirds.
