I'll start. Sorry for sticking it here, posting for traffic.

Didn't fancy turkey this year so did a beef wellington, with mushroom duxelle & Parma ham inside.
Goose fat roasties with garlic salt and rosemary.
Cinnamon red cabbage
Pan fried sprouts with chestnuts and pancetta
Normal carrots as my 4 year old won't eat them any other way
Pigs in blankets
Homemade yorkies
Waitrose bought stuffing as I don't really like it that much.

Topped with an orange gravy with a red wine stock pot shoved in.

It was delish. Ate early-ish as I have to eat with medication. Thought I'd get in early and ask you all to share your lovely Christmas lunches!

Also highly recommend the meat from Waitrose butcher counter. It's lovely.

Yours looks delicious. We aren't doing Christmas until the 29th so I have just had baguette and home made lemon curd for my lunch. It was lovely!

Just about to put the turkey on ……

Yum yum, thanks for this, reading your menu, reminded me, I had chopped garlic and onions in my freezer, I ve just sprinkled a heavy amount of both on my roasting potatoes. It's starting to smell divine. Yummy! Have pre-cooked goose fat potatoes too (but need the others for the vegetarians).

I just need to reheat the meat. And cook the fish (salmon in garlic butter). Might crack on with my veg now.

I haven't even put on my dinner yet! Im half considering not bothering. My 9 Yr old woke me up with a stomach bug at 4:30 and has been puking and sleeping alternately since. The other DC stuffed their faces with mince pies and chocs while PIL visited. DH couldn't care less. I'll let you know later if I decide to stick it on around 4!!!!
