That's the one I do- there's also a Christmas spiced one in BBC good food which is nice

[loveareadingthanks]

Goose is wonderful! (but much less meat than you'd expect from the size - be prepared for that).

Pigs in blankets and stuffing balls a must for me.
Roast sprouts cooked with bacon

[mrspremise]

[mrspremise]

and SPROUTS! I can't believe I forgot them... DS would have my head, they're his favourite (I put bacon on those as well )

[LowLieTheFields]

Mrspremise I also have a sweet corn obsession but unfortunately we're having Christmas at my dsis house and she hates the stuff. I might have to have a tin at the ready for when we get home

[Allalonenow]

It's The Law that you must have red cabbage and apple sauce with goose.

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Three stuffings, roast pots and parsnips, sprouts, carrots, slow cooked red cabbage, yorkie puds, apple sauce, bread sauce and there'll be crackling as we are having pork.
I am only feeding me and dd!

[agoodbook]

Definitely agree with stuffing- ( a good forcemeat one ) goose doesn't go far- everyone fights for the skin! I do apple sauce to go with it as well., but I am like Ihave we have pork too . Has anyone mentioned leeks - we love them!

[shelley1977]

We have roast and mash potatoes as younger children not so keen on roast,honey roast carrots and parsnips, sprouts, chestnut stuffing, bacon wrapped sausages, gravy and cranberry sauce.

[wibblyjelly]

We've decided on red cabbage, sprouts with festive bacon and Tom Kerridge style carrots. Oh, and yorkies and pigs in blankets

[MrsBertMacklin]

Doing pork this year (just me), so:
Braised red cabbage
Roast potatoes & fennel
Celeriac mash
Apple sauce

Most looking forward to smashing all the leftovers into a sandwich the next day.

[Mrsgrumble]

We are just having sage and onion stuffing, carrot and parsnip mash, sprouts, mash and roasties.

Have a homemade Christmas sauce (apples, cranberry etc) from local fair
