What is your Christmas main meal menu? *title edited by MNHQ at OP's request*

[Breastfeedingworries]

Okay ladies I bet this has been done to dealth! But I’m helping with the cooking this year (last two years Dd was so little and I was busy with her) and it got me thinking we make every type of potato!

So I’m wondering what’s it like in all your houses 🏡

Here’s my list: 🎄🎄🎄

Roast leg of lamb, stuffed with Rosemary, mint and rubbed with an oil concoction, which my sister keeps a secret! Last year was Turkey...
Dolphin while potatoes (I can’t spell it 🤣 so I’m leaving it this way)
Roast potatoes with goose fat
Mashed potatoes with chives and cream butter
New potatoes in garlic butter
Roast peppers
Creamed leeks (so leeks cooked in cream)
Peas sweet corn and onions in a mix
Honey carrots 🥕
Stuffing usually mixed with sausage and home made (traditionally a bit burnt)
Pigs in blankets (always shop bought)
Yorkshire puddings (controversial!)

Okay ladies show some Christmas Spirit, and give us ideas for years to come!

Bet I’ve missed something off my list and will add when I remember it. It’s so much food isn’t it! Madness over one meal lol 😂

Turkey
Chestnut stuffing and pork, sage and onion stuffing
Roast potatoes
Roast parsnips
Carrot/swede mash
Brussel sprouts with bacon
Red cabbage
Pigs in blankets
Gravy
Bread sauce
Cranberry jelly

Everything is made from scratch except the vegan turkey:
Vegan turkey
Creamy leek pastry wreath
Veggie pigs in blankets
Honey roasted parsnips, chantenay carrots and sprouts
Roasties
Potato dauphinois
Cauliflower cheese
Sage and onion stuffing
cranberry sauce
onion gravy

It’s a real feast . Knickerbocker glory’s for dessert.

This year we're having

Prawn cocktail
Fucking massive cheeseboard with crackers, deli meats, olives etc
A big retro trifle

I'm doing the 'Christmas Dinner' another day but it will be

Chicken
Roast potatoes
Mash potatoes
Yorkshire pudding
Sprout gratin
Red cabbage
Parsnips
Peas
Carrots
2 types of stuffing (to be decided)
Cauliflower cheese
Giant pigs in blankets

Some kind of nut roast
Cauliflower cheese
Yorkshires
Roasties
Parsnips
Red cabbage
Peas
Broccoli
Stuffing
Bread sauce
Gravy

DP will have chicken and pigs in blankets instead of the cauliflower cheese and nut roast.

So far I know we're having steak and some of those dolphin potatoes but haven't decided on the rest.

Thanks all!!!

Now I know I’m missing some very important ingredients. Like sprouts 😂

ive fakes orgasms

Turkey
Mushroom Wellington for vegetarian

Nice chestnutty stuffing
Two types of roast potatoes (one lot with goose fat, one lot with olive oil and butter for the vegetarian)

No starter!

stuffing
roasties
roast parsnips
roasted carrots and shallots
broccoli
gravy
bread sauce
am making my own cranberry sauce this year - just pop ingredients in the oven and stir
xmas pud - custard/cream
white chocolate and cherry cheesecake

It is just going to be the four of us so we are going untraditional and having what we like:

All

• goose fat roast potatoes
• Yorkshire puddings

-lashings of gravy (I've got a red wine/beef one in the freezer from when we last had roast beef)

• chorizo pigs in blankets
• broccoli and honey roast carrots

DC

• chicken nuggets (I know! But that's what they've asked for)

DH and I

• steak

DC2 and me

• cauliflower cheese

Pudding

• none of us like mince pies, Christmas pudding, Christmas cake etc so I have a salted caramel roulade in the freezer, I may also make a sticky toffee pudding and DH may have trifle.
