What do you eat on Boxing Day?

[SaintNiChaolas]

We normally have about 20 for a meal on BD.

Nothing too onerous for the love of baublrs.

And I like to avoid anything too Roasty, iyswim?

please may I steal your ideas?

[thenightsky]

Nowt... boxing day is recovery day. we eat a bit of marmite on toast mostly.

[Gumby]

Leftovers of course
Turkey
Baked potatoes
Salad
Cheese
Piccalilli etc

[bedmonster]

Another Xmas dinner! We go round to MILs for a goose and all the trimmings and I love it as much, sometimes more, than xmas day

[noisytoys]

Leftovers. Pick and nibble all day

[AfterEightMintyy]

Left over turkey. Left over ham. Bubble & squeak. Pickles. Then Cheese, celery, crackers or microwaved Christmas pudding and warmed up mince pies.

But if I were hosting a meal for 20 then I would have something else .

[wheredidiputit]

If we are at home it would be cold meat and mash, but as we are going to the inlaws we having a buffet this year.

[MonsterBookOfTinsel]

If we are at home the dc decide, normally beans on toast with turkey leftovers.
This year we are going to the pub for an anniversary meal.

[sausagesandwich34]

turkey and chips with white bread and butter at lunch

buffet tea usually supermarket frozen buffet food that just hets shoved in the oven

my mother has the world's biggest freezer!

[loflo]

I make piles of curries, dhal etc the week before Christmas and smell of onions for days after pile into containers and freeze. Then on Boxing Day it's a simple reheat job and making a big pan of rice. Yum

[Celestialcloud]

I'm doing gammon in coke in the slow cooker this year but that's probably a bit roasty. Nice and easy though!

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

I've just done a thread like this and got some really good responses. Can't do links at the moment but its in the food section

[EnjoyResponsibly]

Cold turkey and beef, hot cheese and potato pie, salad and pickles.

Christmas pud, pavlova, sticky toffee pudding

The at about 10pm we have a "spread" that's sandwiches, sausage rolls, cheeseboard, crisps etc

All this interspersed with Elizabeth Shaw, After Eights, Miniature Heros, buckets of nuts and cheese.

[HoHoHokeyCokeyPigInAPokey]

Marks & Spencers party food.

[Thing3WasKissingSanta]

I am taking the DC to my parents this year and they are doing an indoor picnic. We will be having sandwiches and other picky bits.

I am going to do the ham in cola for Christmas eve, I think, as it is my DD1s birthday and last time I made it she said it was the best thing she had ever had

[Sparklytinsel]

I do another roast on boxing day. It's normally beef but this year I'm thinking of doing lamb.

[TerraNotSoFirma]

I usually have people in on Boxing Day.
I have what's left of the Christmas Eve ham, a big cheeseboard, fresh fruit, nice bread, various nibbly bits and choccies.

[TeaOneSugar]

[betterwhenthesunshines]

Something light and refreshing - eg Crab cakes with salad and sweet chilli.

DH works on Christmas Day so we have PIL, SIL and BIL, their three kids and BIL and his boyfriend over. I do a buffet lunch with loads of party food then for tea we have sandwiches, cakes and I make scones. Lots and lots of alcohol and chocolates, crisps etc.
The 6 kids run riot all day and we play games like charades and pictionary. Then we get all the kids in jamas and we all snuggle up to watch the gruffalo or something. I'm really looking forward to it!

[SilverAndSparklyKat]

We go to my dads for Boxing day. A long walk to the pub for a couple over the fields and then back to a massive forerib of beef. A lot roast, I know but it's ace!

[smilingthroughgrittedteeth]

DP insists on bubble and squeak which I can't stand, so DP and DSC have that and I have macaroni cheese as none of them like that its the only day of the year I will cook different meals for everyone for lunch and tea is leftover turkey/ham and salad
