One Christmas dinner tradition in The Netherlands is an event referred to as gourmet. It is an evening meal where people sit in small groups, each using their own pan to cook their own various foods such as vegetables, meats, fish, prawns and shrimp supplied by the host. There are also fruits, salads and sauces served. This is an older tradition that probably originated in the former Dutch colony Indonesia.
More modern traditional Christmas dinners in the Netherlands may include roast beef, rabbit, duck, pheasant, ham and sometimes the UK version of turkey. Of course, the meat is served with sides of vegetables and salads.
