1. I roasted a capon for Christmas Dinner, one year. It was delicious.

Last year I had pizza.

This year, I'm told, it will be smoked turkey breast. We're all fully vaccinated, now, so I'm just going to go with the flow.

for Christmas has been a fave for a few years now. I would go for salmon for Thanksgiving.

7. You forgot one: a pork loin roast - not the tenderloin

but the fullsized roast. So. Good. My mom made it for holiday dinners on more than one occasion. I guess you could also include a crown roast of pork.

I would want that ribey roast, rare.

8. We always do that for easter. Either a crown roast of pork or a tenderloin or some kind of prime

pork roast. I love the tenderloin since I do not like any fat on my meat at all, but I can tolerate a little bit of anything.

9. Our 1st Gen Greek American Aunts (sometimes my mom) would include...

Pastisio along with The Turkey.

Pastisio is tubular noodles layered with chopped beef cooked with onions, tomato paste, a pinch of cinnamon, , salt, pepper (since I never saw it being cooked was using memory, and Google) you add some grated Greek cheese (like kesseri, -not- feta) on top of the chopped meat, and bechamel sauce to top it off.

I haven't had it in a bazillion years, but it was gooood!

12. We usually had pheasant, at least if my dad's hunting trips were successful.

Sometimes with a touch of birdshot (we were warned to be careful when chewing), and gravy, with wild rice - the real wild kind from Up North, not the cultivated stuff - instead of mashed potatoes. Pheasant is very tasty, at least the way my mom cooked it.
