Xmas day starters, what are you having?

[ChrissyShenkle]

I need ideas, my brain seems to have stopped working and just can't think of anything nice

Smoked salmon open sandwiches and a glass of fizz! Seeded bread with soft cheese, then smoked salmon on top, lots of pepper and lemon juice

Breaded Brie for me, prawn cocktail for Mr 1970s 😂

Prawn cocktail
Soup
Garlic mushrooms
Pate
Melon
Camembert
Yorkshire pudding and gravy

we're not. Breakfast will be scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on bagels, then we'll have canapés from Tesco at 1ish, and dinner at 3pm.

Probably avocado with prawn cocktail in it and lots of Chinese starter things to nibble at like spring rolls and satay sticks. Don’t go together but I don’t care. We just have everything we like on Xmas day.

Baked camembert
Smoked salmon
Prawn cocktail
Duck rillete
Yoghurt cheese (lemon/dill and walnut/honey)
Crackers

Nuffink

I love C’mas dinner too much to want to eat anything that would get in the way of going back for more

Also pretty passionate about the cheese board later 😁

Russian salad, cheese and lots of different crisps. We're not British if that helps put it into perspective 😂

French onion soup and a soda bread roll.
For the kids - garlic mushrooms and cheesy garlic bread.

I didn't do a starter last year and everyone complained 🙄

We never have a starter, this was tradition growing up, and something I've kept going with my family. It's a far too big dinner with all of the trimmings, then desserts a little later after stomach's settle.

Nothing. It's a massive meal. Never had a starter with it.

No starter here id rather save room for dessert

We love a good ol' prawn cocktail, and some smoked salmon. We never bother with dessert though. I mean we buy mince pies and Christmas pudding but we never eat them on the day.

Homemade Sweet Potato and Chorizo Soup.

canapes and cava - no starter

A selection box.

Pate & garlic bread

Selection box here too 😂

No starters unless chocolate counts

Another prawn cocktail here. My nana made it for us every Christmas, and we've kept that tradition going since she passed (with her special recipe).

Never bother. The meal itself is so huge!!!

Quality street
Roses
Celebrations

We have mushroom soup every year.

Son making Thai fish cakes, also bringing roll mop herrings and smoked salmon. We like all of those things.

I can't believe people can fit a starter in!

After breakfast and all the sweets and snacks, where do you put it?!

And no, Im not a competitive undereater. I'm the greediest person around
