What do you have in your Christmas dinner?

[Thaiyogamassage]

Growing up we had turkey, rice, peas, corn and carrots, mashed and roast potatoes, Brussel sprouts and asparagus. Living abroad I've had lamb, soup, and a hog roast.

Now I'm much more traditional and will do turkey, roast potatoes, Brussel sprouts, red cabbage, carrots, parsnips,Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets. Never tried bread sauce or cauliflower cheese even though they are a staple in most homes on Christmas. What is your ideal Christmas dinner?

Chicken, red cabbage, roasted carrots, parsnips, roast potatoes, yorkshires maybe a carrot and swede mash / green beans or broccoli - lots of gravy & of course stuffing!

Simple but lovely.

We’re having roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing, sausages in bacon, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, sprouts, corn and gravy. DH will add cranberry sauce to his.

The kids will eat a mouthful of chicken, half a potato, a spoonful of corn and call themselves full before immediately asking for more chocolate.

Turkey, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, homemade cauliflower cheese, stuffing, honey roasted parnsnips, carrots. I would have liked red cabbage but couldn't get any and I would also like a Yorkshire pudding but Dh said they don't belong on a Christmas dinner.

Followed by Yule log and a cheeseboard.

Oh and sprouts, how could I forget.

Turkey, venison, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, carrot and swede mash, parsnips, sprouts, stuffing balls, gravy, cranberry sauce for the turkey and redcurrant jelly for the venison. We have never done Yorkshire puddings or cauliflower cheese, we don't like bread sauce and DH doesn't like red cabbage so we don't bother with it. Pudding is Christmas pud with brandy butter and double cream, then coffee and mints (and assorted Turkish delight which is a family tradition). I can hardly wait!

Fish fingers, chips, eggs and peas. My perfect Christmas lunch!

though I do love sprouts but sadly they don’t go with the above.

Oooh, my favourite kind of thread.

It's only cost about £20 (for 4)this year so I'm happy.

I made the puddings months ago, a variety of steamed puddings and I've got clotted cream and pouring cream. Also doing a fruit platter, thankyou m&s for reducing all your exotic fruit today!

Starters are cheese fondue with slow proved bread that's already in the fridge.

Jobs a good in unless I panic TM and go mad and buy more of everything 🤣

Maybe this is sad but a traditional cheistmas dinner doesn’t appeal to me so I’m having one of the foods I would usually eat, mac and cheese cheese

That's not sad, when I've been alone I just make my favourite food.

One year I had really posh sandwiches!

Where do you buy the assorted Turkish delight

In the evening
beetroot risotto, mashed sweet potato, savoy cabbage.
maybe some cheese or dates to follow
Just the boss and I, smalls have all flown and have lives of their own to lead.
