Is anyone doing anything non-traditional for dinner? When do you usually dine?
When I was a kid, we'd eat around 4 PM. There was some distinction between "supper" and "dinner", but now I don't recall the difference. It was an odd time to have a large repast, I think we barely had lunch or ate a late breakfast. I probably didn't get out of bed until noon anyway.
I think we always had turkey, and ham for Christmas (I suppose to prove we weren't Jewish or something?).
We only ate beef, chicken, or pork at home 99% of the time. In France, I've never seen pork on the menu (outside Alsace), and rarely see chicken at restaurants. Their beef is not good in my experience. My step son makes a huge dinner over there and invites about 30 neighbors. I went with him the year before to get the turkeys, they were 80 euros each, he had to order them. It's not a holiday over there of course.
