aha. Would that even be noticeable among the millions in the US? Give

Big political problem... There are some Inuit in Alaska that are usually
referred to as Alaska Natives rather than Native Americans but they still
fall under the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Would the Greenland Inuit be
Indians or Danes?

Hmm, good question! I'd say BIA.

The most "weird" thing I had yesterday as part of the swedish tradition
was sop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sop and hte liquid used is the fat
from the christmas ham (julskinka)

Many of our meals involved gravy and my father would always sop it up with
bread at the end of the meal. He died of a myocardial infarction.
Connection?  My grandfather reportedly favored ham fat and garlic as a
sandwich spread.

Nah... that's just propaganda from the vegetable farmers! ;) On the german side of the world, the best spread is Schmalz! A super invention!

I sometimes get ham slices since a whole ham is more than I want to live
on for days. I did keep the roast boar tradition but it was a pork
tenderloin rather than ham. That was a miscalculation. I thought Christmas
was tomorrow and planned to cook the sauerbraten. However I wound up with
leftover pig today. The nice thing about sauerbraten is a day or a week
more soaking in the marinade only make it better.

1.5 year ago I had smoked, bbq boar. It was divine!! My wifes cousin told my wife that he will take me hunting in 2025. That would be very nice! I hope it happens, I'm very excited! I suspect it will be birds, but let's see.
What we do with our left over ham is to freeze it, and then use it as filler in crepe or pyttipanna or other food during all of january and february. When we were 4 celebrating christmas, the ham would actually finished fairly quickly, but now we're only 2, so it takes a while.
