What are you eating today?

We’ve got family coming over, so I’m making a soup, cold cuts, bread, pate, coleslaw etc.

Boxing Day has to be Bubble and Squeak! All the Christmas dinner leftovers chopped and fried up. With cold sliced turkey. Yum!

We’ve got a ham which we are having with bubble and squeak and a cauliflower cheese. Can’t wait!

lifeisgoodagain · 26/12/2019 07:49

Cold turkey, bubble and squeak from the leftover veg, pickles, something vegetarian for the fussy ones, red cabbage is the only thing I'm properly cooking

Doing Nigella's ham in coke recipe, with mash and cauliflower cheese for dinner. Leftovers no doubt for lunch.

MaryBoBary · 26/12/2019 08:12

Curry for us today, can't wait!

happycamper11 · 26/12/2019 08:15

Discovered a recipe for Christmas dinner loaf - essentially all leftovers piled in to a cake tin and baked. Should be interesting

Sprinklemetinsel · 26/12/2019 08:17

Ham, turkey, cheese board, side of salmon and salads. Maybe more roast potatoes and parsnips.
Chocolate cake, vanilla cake, meringues and cream/nutella

Yum.

Sprinklemetinsel · 26/12/2019 08:17

Should have said, not just for us, also iLs, so 9 people.

StrongTeaDropOfMilkNoSugar · 26/12/2019 08:17

Leftover meat, pigs in blankets, stuffing, mash and pickles, followed by cheese and biscuits.

MegaClutterSlut · 26/12/2019 08:18

We have the in laws round today so just doing a buffet of the usual foods

MustardScreams · 26/12/2019 08:19

Heading to my friend’s house to eat all the cheese and buffet foods, whilst drinking obscene amounts of champagne. Hooray!

Our Christmas Day is tomorrow, so it’s still Christmas Eve for me Xmas Smile

fligglepige · 26/12/2019 08:20

We went out for dinner yesterday so making my own turkey dinner today. Really missed not having turkey for sandwiches last night.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 26/12/2019 08:24

A salmon from Cook (DM's house today).

catwithflowers · 26/12/2019 08:26

A mixture of pre-prepared buffet foods in the freezer (Delia’s sausage rolls, mini olive scones to be filled with cream cheese and smoked salmon), salads, gammon, cheese, crackers and lots of M&S party foods 😊. We have all the family round today but only arrive home at lunchtime so no time to spend ages in the kitchen!

catwithflowers · 26/12/2019 08:27

Mustard it’s Christmas Day today for us too! 😊

Nuttyaboutnutella · 26/12/2019 08:31

We're going to ILs today so another 3 course Christmas dinner Grin we're having duck today. Tends to be slightly lighter and Earlier than my parents though so if I'm peckish later, we'll have cheese and crackers, olives, etc

DeathMetalMum · 26/12/2019 08:32

gamerwidow · 26/12/2019 08:41

I’ve got a gammon joint to cook but we’ve come home with so many leftovers from the PIL I’m not sure I need to. Will have a think about it later.

Bubblysqueak · 26/12/2019 08:56

Freezer party food buffet then bubble and squeak for dinner.

VeryMerryChristmas · 26/12/2019 09:00

We had Christmas dinner on the 24th this year, so had our ‘traditional’ Boxing Day food yesterday - ham, eggs & bubble & squeak for breakfast, turkey sandwiches for lunch and a cheeseboard in the evening. ‘Twas lovely!

Going to my mum’s today for big family dinner. She is making a rib of beef and a turkey. This has got to be the last day I eat like a hungry trucker Xmas Grin

Leftovers turned into bubble and squeak, smoked salmon with oatcakes, cheeses and fruit, and general nibbly bits. Its a fend for yourself day here, mostly, but we're all adults.
