It’s just us at home.
I assumed there be lots of leftovers, some beef, potatoes and sprouts, but not enough for meals. We have some cheese from the cheese board, millions of crackers, some good bread, then the usual..eggs, pasta etc
Was hoping to get a few days out of not having to go to the shops and get more.
Wondering whether to just get some nice ham and have ham & mustard sandwiches, def not cooking today!

Been to my mums for loads of cheese and crackers, bake at home ciabatta and hot cheese chorizo bake and cranberry topped camembert bake, celery, grapes and port! Am absolutely stuffed 😋 don't know if I'll want to eat again today but if I do it'll probably be a turkey sandwich or smoked salmon bagel - after cooking Christmas dinner yesterday, I definitely won't be cooking properly for a few days ☺️

Asian fusion takeaway for us. We went out for Xmas lunch so there are no leftovers.

I'm currently eating turkey masala crisps with a Coke Zero

Porcuporpoise · 26/12/2024 13:52

Day 2 of the roast beast feast here so it's ham in coca cola with mash and leftover veg.

Left over Christmas Eve Chinese for lunch then buffet later - M&S party food, cheeseboard, crackers and pate, tempura prawns etc. plus a lot of chocolate.
I’ll be going low carb in the new year so need to eat my way through all the crackers and chocolate before then!

Oh no..you definitely can't waste any chocolate..and you've got to eat it before it goes off.

pestowithwalnuts · 26/12/2024 13:49

Iv made a turkey curry ( Hairy Bikers). I didn't have any chicken stock so dismantled the turkey and made stock from the bones.
We are having it tomorrow with rice.but today it's slices of cold turkey .roast potatoes and salad bits.
Cheese and biscuits..
Yule log and cream

Odiebay · 26/12/2024 13:44

Now at the Inlaws until tomorrow so likely being starved!. Always a lack of food here.
Luckily I have some Christmas chocolate if I get desperate!

2catsandhappy · 26/12/2024 13:37

Quiche, shop bought, and left overs, salad and mayo.
Much tastier than it sounds. Just zap in microwave, joy.

We’ve enough leftover for a second Christmas dinner tonight with a couple of family members we didn’t see yesterday. However I may not be hungry enough as I’ve just had a cheeseboard lunch and a fuckton of chocolate

Allnewtometoo · 26/12/2024 13:24

So far - leftover roast beef sandwich. Lindt balls.

MrsSkylerWhite · 26/12/2024 13:23

Cold ham, cold turkey, smoked salmon, pate, cheese, crisps, etc.

mamaduckbone · 26/12/2024 13:22

We've had bacon and eggs for brunch and it's rib of beef for dinner later

ssd · 26/12/2024 13:21

We have no left overs but those here who do should watch jamies xmas shortcuts earlier

JustSaltPlease · 26/12/2024 13:15

A plate full of everything here

What are you eating today?

Having a mini roast for lunch with left over sausage meat, stuffing balls and pigs in blankets and then I am attempting home made pasta for the first time and using left over beef and pork to made a slow cooked ragu with garlic bread! I think I am looking forward to it more than the main event yesterday.

MereDintofPandiculation · 26/12/2024 13:12

The whole purpose of Christmas dinner is to create leftovers Grin But we're short of cold cooked sprouts because I had the munchies late last night.

Breakfast was the usual oats with fruit and buts, but then I felt peckish and topped up with two bacon sandwiches - the bread left over from the bread sauce and the streaky bacon from on top of the turkey. Not surprisingly I have no appetite for lunch.

JM88Jen · 26/12/2024 13:09

For lunch we have had bake at home baguettes filled with turkey, stuffing, mayo and cranberry.

Tonight, we have curry

Emmadaily · 26/12/2024 13:00

I brought a plate of Christmas Dinner leftovers yesterday from my daughters so will be another Christmas Dinner with biscoff cheesecake made by my grandson .
Getting hungry writing this .

Deadringer · 26/12/2024 12:38

We get a big enough turkey and ham so that we have enough for a second Christmas dinner today. It's actually usually nicer for some reason. We have salmon in for tomorrow then it will be a chinese takeaway the next night. Yum

Barney16 · 26/12/2024 12:35

Mad weird combination of left overs and what's in the freezer. Roast lamb with yesterdays left over veg, chilli, ratatouille, baked spuds and garlic bread. Cake and fruit compote or apple pie. I worked right up to Xmas day and that's the best I can conjure up.

Paperpensanddustmotes · 26/12/2024 12:35

I started the morning being brought a crisp bacon, egg and brown sauce sandwich in bed and I'll probably pick on leftover olives, cheese and quality street later.

We order pizza every Boxing Day.

Not sure how it's become a 'tradition', but in the last few years it has.

I used to make a pizza with all the leftovers. Pigs in blankets on a pizza is heaven.

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 26/12/2024 12:28

I had croissants for breakfast and am currently having some baileys chocolates and a cup of tea for lunch. I'll be having leftovers with chapatis for dinner.

And more chocolates.

Beezknees · 26/12/2024 12:27

Picky bits as usual for boxing day. I have leftover turkey, ham, prawns, cheese and crackers, chicken bites, halloumi fries, spring rolls, breadsticks and dip, plenty of crisps and chocolates, apple crumble and cream. And of course baileys and prosecco.
