Christmas dinner without turkey: the dish has nothing to do with festival’s origins, so let’s celebrate Jesus by eating what he would have

• Japan eats KFC for Christmas and Poland eats fish. Turkey is an arbitrary, Eurocentric dish that is a pain to cook, and not what Jesus would’ve eaten long ago
• Why not instead eat food that Mary and Joseph’s Middle Eastern contemporaries might have had, from barley bread to lamb stew, fish, milk, honey and olives?
