A. My grandmother told me when she was young they always served goose for christmas dinner. She lived in canada during the latter part of the 1800's so this would likely apply. Tourtiere would also apply since this is a traditional french canadian dish that is always served at yuletide. Plum pudding is another older dish that was poplular in this time.

A. Health-care was generally very poor. Contagion (that disease came from germs/filth) was little-understood, so people lived in dirty conditions that promoted illness. (eg., For the battlefield, bandages were made of cotton; once they had dried off, they were 'recycled' for the next soldier.) 'Bleeding' people to cure fever was disproven as of 1839, but no doubt many in the countryside still practiced it. There was no Food and Drug act, to ensure purity in these. Epidemics were common, such as the cholera epidemic among immigrants in 1860 (or so, not sure) Montreal.
