German Food
Gänsebraten – roast goose
In America we sometimes have turkey or other meat for our Christmas dinner. In Germany they eat roast goose! Although it tastes a little bit like our turkey, goose is not quite as dry and it is eaten with different types of stew.

Spekulatius - spicy shortbread
This is a spicy Christmas cookie. This is much different than the gingerbread, and usually has some kind of design stamped on it. The bottom of the cookie is flat, and is dipped in different things to drink. (This is one of Mr. Stewart's favorite cookies!)
