Christmas what did you eat today thread?

Sorry if there's one already, couldn't find if there is...

Here's mine:

Mid-morning: 1/3 of a chocolate Santa. Several bites of DH's smoked salmon and scrambled egg bagel.

4pm: Turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

7pm: Christmas pudding and custard

Without other people, either as guests or hosting others, we've not done huge breakfasts/portions, starters, cracked open the snacks/QualityStreet, or bothered with any kind of turkey sandwich supper etc. - though we've plenty in, just haven't really felt the need to get it out. Lost my appetite quite a bit in lockdown so far (sadly no weight with it though!)

On the other hand, I've had about 4 sizeable glasses of wine over the afternoon/ evening, so there's that Smile

Please share your own as well!

Oh yes we had stuffing too!

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 25/12/2020 23:13

If we had any bread I’d totally be making turkey sandwiches right now!

Will buy or bake a loaf tomorrow for sure!

HerRoyalNotness · 25/12/2020 23:13

Bacon sandwich, breakfast sausages, half a hash brown and a mimosa
Popcorn at the cinema
Crab, shrimp, crawfish boil, oysters and a corona at our Asia town

9.30am ham and cheese croissants, clementine juice and some token fruit

1.45pm turkey dinner - supposed to feed 4-6 and we managed about half between the two of us. Turkey, stuffing balls, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, roast carrots, sprouts, cauliflower cheese and red cabbage

3pm roulade and cream

7.30pm about 6 mini samosa/spring roll type things and a handful of Pringles

9.30pm handful of Quality Street

Mainly drank J2O and water, although had two champagne flutes of Bucks Fizz (I’m 41+3 today).

Debating whether to do buffet day all day tomorrow with turkey sandwiches, or whether to do a second cooked lunch. I’ve got my induction for Sunday so it’s whether everything would be ok to eat on 28th!

Not much actually!

10:30 2 slices of marmite on toast with a brew

6:30 Christmas dinner (not a massive plate) and a slice of Yule log with a splash of cream.

And that's it!

I've been quite stressed and I lose my appetite when I'm stressed!

EggnogAndAMincepie · 26/12/2020 00:45

Breakfast was 3 biscuits and 5 quality streets from the presents I received off some of the people I look after

Dinner Turkey
Stuffing
Pigs in blankets
New potatoes
Roast potatoes
Cauliflower cheese
Carrots
Parsnips
Sprouts
Gravy and cranberry sauce

Later on we had warmed gluten free mince pies with thick baileys cream followed by gluten free white chocolate and raspberry roulade with spray cream. I had to go back out to work so had non alcoholic wine and kopperburg, tea and hot chocolate. After not eating or drinking properly for a week my xmas dinner was lovely and I could've happily eaten seconds and thirds. Now I've got tons of chocolate to get through although that won't take me long Grin
