Re: What are Lancashire Christmas Traditions and Foods these days?
Sherry is a traditional Christmas drink although I have had trouble finding it abroad in the past.
You probably won't find many pumpkins on the tables of the English at Christmas but Christmas pudding is traditional for afters. Brandy is poured over it and then the whole thing is set on fire before being dished up with brandy sauce. It's a little rich for some as it contains more than a little alcohol!
Boxing Day (and usually a day or two afterwards) involves carving up what remains of the turkey and making extra meals and sandwiches with the leftovers.
