吃火鸡的习俗起源于墨西哥，最初由William Strickland在1526年引入英国。亨利八世很喜欢吃火鸡。尽管这道菜在19世纪晚期已经成为上流社会的宠儿，但最终是爱德华七世把吃火鸡变成中产阶层的节日必备活动。

Christmas pudding, it is covered in brandy which is a liquor that has a very strong taste. To finish the meal we have coffee and mince pies. After this very large meal, we usually do a Christmas quiz. 

圣诞布丁是在圣诞节吃的一种应节食品。在圣诞布丁送上桌前，会把热白兰地酒浇在上面。除此之外，还佐以咖啡和百果馅饼。在完成这顿大餐之后，人们经常还会做一些圣诞小猜谜来为节日增添气氛。

早期的百果馅饼包含了肉馅、水果和香料。自维多利亚时期起，配料就不再包含肉馅了，而是水果干。

Christmas crackers

A very traditional thing that accompanies a typical English Christmas dinner is the Christmas cracker. 

When laying the table for Christmas dinner, normally a cracker is included to be opened with the person next to you. It is shaped like a bow and made out of cardboard to produce a cute cracker covered with typical festive decorations. Then, usually before eating, you pull the cracker with the person besides you, so it tears into two pieces. Then the one who gets the bigger part is lucky enough to find a paper hat, a toy and a joke inside. 

丰盛的圣诞聚餐后，英国人总会玩一两个益趣小游戏，那么圣诞爆竹就是百年不变的经典游戏。两人一人拉一头，纸筒断开时发出“嘭”的爆炸声，听着就令人兴奋！爆竹里面的小礼物，一般包括一顶皇冠状的纸帽子、一个小玩具、一张写着笑话、谜语、或是脑筋急转弯的纸条等。
