I'm hosting a Boxing Day buffet, what are you bringing?

[Fucck]

I'm hosting on Boxing Day, I'm trying to write my shopping list! But with everything else going on, my brain has turned to mush.

Help me, what do you serve at these things?

I'd like it to be fairly easy. I'm no Gordon Ramsey but above all, I don't want it to be too time consuming.

One attendee has a fish allergy!

Thanks 🎄

Roasted veg and feta cous cous salad. Easy peasy and lovely.
Potato salad (with avocado?) Easy peasy

Cold meats

Or... sweet potato veggie chili (Jamie O) with rice, tortillas, avo, greek yog etc... Also quick and easy and delicious.

Cheese and pineapple hedgehog

Smoked salmon and blinis....shop bought.
Crackers and a cheeseboard, grapes and pate
Picked onions
Those part baked rolls and some nice sausages cooked with a bit of wholegrain mustard and honey
American style bean dip. Recipes online but essentially refried beans mixed with taco seasoning, cream cheese and baked in the oven with more cheese on top. Serve hot with tortilla chips. It's like crack....bloody addictive!

Picky bits 😁

Ill bring one of the 3 asda camenbert and pigs in blankets they Best before is 27th but i cant see them lasting that long

Ham.

I always do a massive baked ham with honey/whole grain mustard or something similar on top on Boxing Day. Goes very nicely with cold turkey, salad and trifle.

I love Boxing Day more than Christmas often.

Slow cooker vegetable chilli. With nacho chips, soured cream, salsa, guacamole, cheese and chunks of cook it yourself baguettes. Couple of pizzas on the side, always goes down well here

Cheese fondue (in a slow cooker for large numbers) with bread, sausages, potatoes, cherry tomatoes, cornichons, pickled onions, broccoli/cauliflower florets, apple slices. Feels decadent and Christmassy, looks like a lot of effort, but actually it's a doddle

Love all these ideas, they're kicking the arse of anything I had thought of

Oh i love christmas food I think boxing day is also my favourite eatingday

Islay single malt.

Chestnuts for roasting.

The Christmas cake I have singularly failed to make this year.

Slow cooker with a rich, warming soup - I'd probably do minestrone.

Similar to Gorbie but we also have a pork loin joint (that needs using up in the freezer), some gammon (left over from my daughter’s Christmas dinner), some shop bought tempura prawns, chicken goujons, lots of cheese and a big green salad. Plus all the chocs left over from Christmas. Oh and some Delia sausage rolls which are in the freezer. We are away for Christmas Day this year and will get back around 2 hours before all the kids and their partners arrive so need to do speedy/get it on the table quick things that don’t need a lot of faff.

pepperwand, I sometimes make that refried bean dip and love it!!

Cold meats
Pork pies
