What is a typical Danish Christmas dinner menu?

Working on a school project with my daughter, need some help from all you Danes or Danish Americans out there.

Christmas dinner varies a bit from family to family, but it will usually look something like this:

Either: Turkey (stuffed with apples, prunes or both) w. boiled potatoes, small sugar fried potatoes, pickled red cabbage, brown gravy.

Or: Duck, goose, pork roast w. crispy skin, with more or less the same side-dishes as above.

For dessert it’s usually either:
Ris a’la Mande (cold rice and almond porridge with warm cherry sauce. We hide one whole almond inside and whoever finds it must keep it secret from the rest of the guests until everyone has finished. Then the finder gets a small “almond present”, which can be anything from a box of chocolate to a book).

or

Risengrød, which is another type of rice porridge, served hot with a dollop of butter in the middle and sprinkled with cinnamon (especially on the farms, we put on bowl of this rice-porridge up in the attic or on the top of the stables for the “nisse”, which is something like an old goblin/pixie, to keep him happy and stop him from doing mischief).

Before and right after Christmas we also have Christmas lunches. The lunches before Christmas are usually held by the work-places, the ones on the 1st and 2nd day after Christmas (which we celebrate on the 24th in the evening) are usually for the closest family and friends. the lunch starts about 12:00 – 13:00 and lasts until early/late evening. It usually starts with different types of marinated herring on rye bread served with snaps (alcohol), then continues with rye bread and white bread served with different types of meat cuts, brawn and liver paste (typical drinks are beer and wine for the adults and softdrinks for the children). Later this is supplemented with Danish meat balls (frikadeller) and/or a special type of large fried sausage (medisterpølse). Dessert is usually some kind of pudding, fruit salad or ice-cream. After a short period of digestion, homemade cookies, chocolate, marcipan etc. is served together with coffee or tea.

Another great place to shop for Christmas Menus products is Amazon. They have more than just books!

touch! FIVE SENSES, Coffeemania touch! dark blue cappuccino cup with saucer 8.45 fl.oz $14.99 The inventor Torben Flanbaum, a retired plumber, presented his idea to the Danish Invention Centre during an inventor’s course held by the centre in spring 1999.
