Plates absolutely overflowing with food you could eat any day of the week. I don't think any of it looks enticing at all.

You're absolutely right. This was mine, but I made way too much, could only manage half.

What’s the yummy leek dish?

Show quote history

Leeks fried, add some lemon juice and then finish with cream, yum!

BebbanburgIsMine · 25/12/2025 23:09

This is mine, roast chicken, roast tatties, carrots, peas, skirlie and gravy.

We don’t have a set time, we (DD) and I just eat it when it’s ready

No picture but Turkey Crown. Parsnips, carrots potatoes and pigs in blankets. Gravy of course. Lovely Meal
You just cant buy it out, what you can do at home.

We do our pigs in blankets from scratch eg we buy proper sausages from the butchers and streaky bacon.
Wrap the bacon round the sausages cut up and cook in the oven.

Never buy shop.bought ready made ones.
Neither of us likes stuffing, so we dont bother.
😀

Forgot the Sprouts.

I didn't cook it, but it was delicious!

Here’s mine, pre-gravy. I had a disaster with the mash. Despite using the ricer and being pressure cooked for longer than the usual amount one of the potatoes wasn’t cooked properly and made the mash really lumpy. Luckily there was some homemade mash in the freezer left over from previous meals. It completely saved the day!

My partner has more traditional elements such as sprouts, but he forgot to put mash on his.

Thanks to being the taxi service for grown up kids who were working today (chef, specialist burns nurse and DH who is a vicar and could not manage the cycle ride between churches with all his Christmas vestments and so on) Our Christmas meal will not happen till Saturday. Today’s excitement was HOT beans on toast……no pictures.

Roast beef, roast potatoes and parsnips, Yorkshire puddings, stuffing balls and pigs in blankets, broccoli, sprouts with pancetta, and mashed carrot and turnip. Gravy not in photo. All delicious.

It’s a chocolate cake behind the veg dish. My late MIL made this every year and my son has taken over.

Lol, no, it was all perfectly cooked 😊

The sausages just look a little pale and uncooked. Maybe it's the lighting

WhatTimeDoYouCallThis · 25/12/2025 21:49

Some amazing meals here! I cooked the turkey with tons of homemade garlic, onion, sage, butter, brown bread stuffing and it was quite tasty - forgot the red cabbage grrrr
