The best Christmas food in America: 8 popular dishes
1. Prime rib
Prime rib, or roast beef with bones, was my favorite meat as a youngster since it was juicer than turkey.
2. Christmas Turkey
Turkey is essential to American Christmas dinners, even if I prefer prime rib. My family slow-cooks a turkey in the oven with basting, like Thanksgiving.
3. Stuffing
You may add chopped turkey or bacon to make it holiday-like. All goes into one pan and bakes.
4. Cranberry sauce
Cranberries are cooked into sauce and sweetened American-style with loads of sugar.
5. Mashed potatoes
Many cultures celebrate Christmas with mashed potatoes.
6. Christmas Cornbread
Cornbread may be the most American Christmas snack. Cornbread is traditionally baked in a cast iron pan in the south
7. Biscuits
UK and US definitions of “biscuit” differ greatly. As an American, I define a biscuit as a croissant with fluffy white bread
8. Mashed sweet potatoes
Sweet potato casserole is one of the oddest yet most beloved American Christmas delicacies.
