I never thought about the "mythical" foods of Christmas. I think you might have had goose in the past, though, because I know we had it one year at Christmas. Maybe we just didn't make a point of it.

The smell of wet feathers will make sure you always buy a frozen or fresh one from the store. Goose is great, either stuffed with apples or with sauerkraut and roasted. Only drawback, the gravey will have lots of grease. I liked the skin, crunchy, the best. When we made the gravey one of the apples was strained thru a sieve which gave it a tangy flavor. Pfeffernuesse is a cookie and some of them are quite hard, maybe I got old ones. Seasonings are cinnamon, cloves, pepper, ingwer, cardamon and Hirschhornsalz. I have no idea what that is in English, the direct translation would be "elk antler salt", how would you harvest that?, but you can use baking powder instead.

I have had a chocolate yule log though, and it was superior. Chocolate sponge, soaked with kirsch, rolled around and frosted with ganache. Heaven!
