Christmas dinner -what's in yours

[cherrypiepie]

Quite a few ideas of what should go on a Christmas dinner so here is mine - what goes on yours? (This lasts us all day often have pudding and cheese for tea later on- and champagne for breakfast

Starter: pate /toast or nothing
Dinner: Turkey (brined and roasted)
Ham home cooked mustard and honey
Pigs in blankets (from farm shop)
Stuffing two flavours (shop bought Aldi and m & s )
Sprouts with chesnuts and pancetta
Parsnips with honey and black pepper
Roast potatoes
Carrots
Cranberry sauce (jar)
Gravy
Pudding: Christmas pudding (Aldi) and brandy sauce (shop bought)
Port
Cheeseboard

Plenty of champagne and red wine

Starters will be smoked salmon, prawns and rilette for those who don’t want fish.

Main event is a brined and roasted turkey crown. With:

Roasted potatoes with sage and lemon zest
Dauphinoise
Roasted shallots with Parmesan and truffle
Red cabbage
Pigs in blankets
Sautéed peas and leeks
Carrots and parsnips roasted in honey with lots of black pepper
Bread sauce
Cranberry sauce
Stuffing - baked in a tray with cranberries and a mulled wine glaze.

Pudding will be something chocolatey for the children, adults will have mince pies / Christmas cake with a cheeseboard to nibble on.

Breakfast - whatever’s knocking around

Lunch -
Meat varies. We had trout one year!
Roast potatoes
Carrots
Parsnips
Sprouts with chestnuts and bacon
Bread sauce
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing
Gravy

Christmas pudding
Custard

Tea -
Meat and stuffing sandwiches
Christmas cake

Alcohol free home so schler (spelling?) and fruit juices.

Breakfast is scrambled eggs, Buck’s Fizz and lots of chocolate around that.

Dinner is a mash up of all the roast dinner family favourites, no turkey as yuck. This year is roast lamb, roast pots, celeriac, purple sprouting, carrots, sprouts, cauliflower, parsnips, Yorkshire puds, mint sauce, horseradish sauce, gravy.

Christmas pud, M&S key lime pie, and mince pies.

And pigs in blankets and stuffing, I would be strung up if I forgot those
