Plumb-pottage was mere Popery, that a Collar of Brawn was an abomination, that Roast Beef was Antichristian, that Mince Pies were Reliques of the Whore of Babylon, and a Goose, a Turkey, or a Capon, were marks of the Beast
John Taylor (1652) on Puritans. Cited in A. Gray, At Christmas we feast (2022), 56
