Answer 2

Seasonal fruit and veg, preserved fruit, nuts, mulled wine, wassail, fruit puddings (xmas pud's ok), mince pies, (to be honest a lot of typically christmas stuff was invented in pagan times), biscuits, pork, multibird roast, any wild game such as boar or wild birds, goose. Yule logs were burnt but I'm sure a chocolate one would do!
You can a multibird roast in miniature from www.wildmeat.co.uk. The 3 bird roast is very expensive but a mallard and pleasant ballotine is only £14.95. You're a bit late to buy from here now though, but it's food for thought!

Mulled wine is easy- just tip a bottle of red wine into a pan, add about 2 oz of sugar, some slices of orange and lemon, a tsp of mixed spice, and maybe a little extra nutmeg and cloves if you like it, plus a half-cup of orange juice or tea (spicy herbal tea works well too), and a cinnamon stick. Don't worry about finding a recipe- it's more fun making it up! Just warm it through until hot, but do not allow it to start boiling. Serve in a wine glass garnished with a cinnamon stick!

You could look up recipes for German biscuits- I know they invented the spicy christmas ones which you can hang on the tree.


P.s Turkey was not traditional in pagan times. They ate wild stuff, salt beef, pork (from wild boars?), maybe goose.

Answer 3

All sorts of cookies are appropriate, as is anything sweet, the idea being to ensure sweetness for the new year.
Mulled wine is simple to make: add cloves and cinnamon sticks to the wine and heat over a low flame until warmed
Roasting chestnuts at Christmas comes from a pagan Germanic custom which traveled to England

Answer 4

I assume you are speaking of Pagans. Much of the holiday foods popular today had their origins in early Pagan culture. Roast meats, cakes with dried fruit, root vegetables, sweet drinks. Us modern Pagans feast on turkey, ham, prime rib of beef. Having an egg nog fest today at 2 p.m. No sacrifices or door mice. Read the Dinner of Trimalchio from the Satyricon, great menu and preparation. Happy Yule.

Answer 5

Pagan...........mostly cooked meats, sliced for sandwhiches. Wines..cheeses...pastries that are ever so rich. A good variety of mouth watering finger foods. The Pagans didn't use forks.

Answer 6

Any typically prevalent foods found this time of year such as chestnuts, eggnog, mulled wine, fruitcake, and nuts are appropriate. Roasted turkey or pork are good as well as other things such as hibiscus or ginger tea, caraway cakes (or cookies), red cabbage, apples, lemons, oranges and latkes.

Happy Yule!

Answer 7

What type of pagans? Druids, wiccans, heathens...etc. I think that meats, breads, fruit and salad alongside plenty of mulled wine would be appreciated

Answer 8

The blood of a freshly slaughtered virgin would go down well although if you are in Essex I know that will be almost impossible!

Answer 9

Never eat what you can't spell

Answer 10

so so very strange.....oh, I've got one...it's called a clue.
