What foods do French eat during Christmas?
Lobster and turkey are traditional main meals during a Christmas feast in France. Not everyone, however, has the budget to cater these dishes to a large group of people, and so the tradition has shifted to wildfowl over the years. Much cheaper than lobster, wildfowl are guinea fowl, pheasant, goose, and quail.
