This was before the gravy pour.

Cooking in my mums kitchen with her state-of-the-art appliances but extremely blunt knives!

This one also looks yum - red cabbage! And that Yorkshire looks epic!

here is mine. Was very good if I say so myself!

@apricotdreams yours is the one I want to eat most. Plenty of sprouts, parsnips and pigs in blankets.

I love how your broccoli is super green and looks crunchy 😊

It does look green doesn't it! It was served at about 1:30- lovely bright sunshine in the south at that time. We lost my brother a couple of weeks ago so I felt I needed to make an effort with mum. She enjoyed hers. 1st decent meal in ages so that was good!

Lovely to see the Black Tower! It was the only wine my Dad would drink and so we always had it at Christmas.

Veggie here too. Nut roast, veggie pigs in blankets, sprouts with chestnuts and fake bacon, carrots, roasted parsnips, green beans, red cabbage wedge cooked in apple, cider vinegar and cinnamon, homemade stuffing balls, onion gravy, potato dauphinoise and the roasties were perfect.

I don’t celebrate Christmas but we do usually have a roast dinner (turkey) couldn’t afford it this year so just roast chicken , roast potatoes, parsnip crisps and some steamed veg.

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

It's Christmas.

A time of feasting...

People aren't going to have half a leaf of lettuce and a cherry tomato.

PeonyPatch · 25/12/2025 20:44

Ohh, I started a thread just like this in the Christmas section!! Here’s mine + panna cotta

Aren't you a happy Harry.
I've been on mounjaro for a year and lost half my body weight. I won't be wasting all that hard work by binging on massive amounts of food for the next 4 days.

To gain a pound of fat you’d need to eat 3500 calories above your maintenance. You can have some fun!

Nah, I couldn’t eat any of this the rest of the year. I’m on WLI and took a week off!

Show us yours then? I think this is a fab thread - showing lots of home made foods. Can we not be negative about perfectly nice plates? Aren’t we all so lucky to have amazing dinners!
