The primary Christmas dishes are roast goose and roast carp, although suckling pig or duck may also be served. Typical side dishes include roast potatoes and various forms of cabbage such as kale, brussel sprouts, and red cabbage. In some regions the Christmas dinner is traditionally served on Christmas Day rather than Christmas Eve. In this case, dinner on Christmas Eve is a simpler affair, consisting of sausages or potato salad. Sweets and Christmas pastries are nearly obligatory and include marzipan, spice bars, several types of bread, and various fruitcakes and fruited breads likeChriststollen and Dresdener Stollen.
