Lucia buns are amazing. Lots of strong saffron and cardamom flavors. Delicious! Non-alcoholic posset or syllabub is also delicious. It can be made with lemon juice and cream, with the citric acid curdling the cream into a very light and tasty pudding. A lot of these foods sound pretty tasty, what with all the fruits and spices.

Interesting and informative - though the boar's head should have mentioned that the head was deboned and in effect stuffed with chopped meats etc and reshaped into a head before cooking/serving - so it was not quite as gruesome as it soounds.

Aaagh! That roast goose with its head and neck still attached, traumatizing! My pet goose that I raised from a gosling, died in Nov. at age 23 years & 4 months old. We weathered many a Christmas goose joke but one does not eat their friends!

My wife is from Sweden and whenever we visit we eat/drink a lot of the items discussed in this video, so it was very cool to learn the origins of them. Though I may pick the raisins off of my Lucia bun next year.

In the Philippines, roasted pig head is a go to if you can't afford a whole roasted lechon (roasted pig, or Christmas ham, but because of the inflation, even pig's head is no longer affordable for common folks.

So about the same as Nordic people still eats for Christmas Dinner? Granted, the boar's head has fallen out of fashion during the 20th century, but it was still on the table in the beginning of it.

I love learning about foods and their history. It goes to show, no matter what era it is, people still loved to eat things that were tasty. To be honest, some of those dishes look delicious!

Video was good because it combined Christmas, history, and food into one.
Also, could you please do a general overview video on medieval society?

Would you know what kind of festive dishes were created from colonizers + local produce?
Like French + Vietnamese, Spanish + Filipino, etc

If this is true about that poor woman then it's disgusting but wasn't Saturnalia (cystom) a time when the poor were served by the rich?

I'd eat that stew, the roasted goose, and water with fruits in it. Don't you wish we could travel in time and share food and experiences

You forgot the old Scandinavian tradition of Lutefisk. Herring in brine was also on the table with sheep heads, smoked and cured.
