Do you have New Year's Day dinner-what do you have?

[Jeezitneverends]

I’m Scottish so it’s the law that we Have Steak pie, mashed potatoes and peas😂
The beef’s been in the slow cooker since 8am and is just about hitting the falling apart stage 🤤, and tomorrow it’ll get a puff pastry lid before going in the oven.
Thinking I may break slightly with tradition and do roast potatoes as well as mash.
When my parents were around it was always trifle for pudding, but no real fans now, so I’ve just made a Biscoff cheesecake which is LUSH.

Whats on your menu?

I am Scottish and this is the first time I've heard of steak pie as a tradition.

We have tattie soup and either a brace of pheasant/grouse for dinner with neeps, tatties, Oatmeal stuffing and gravy. Followed by trifle and homemade Xmas cake with tea and/or a dram/sherry.

Normally it would be homemade steak pie here, too, but we've been ill so instead of proper cooking, we're raiding the freezer. Mince round (so still a pie at least), with roast potatoes and veg.

Scottish so steak pie.

Steak pie, mash and peas for us too😁

Snap - Scottish, but the steak pie was bought from the butcher's!

Gammon and mashed potatoes

I’m doing a sort of Christmas dinner because dd couldn’t be here on Christmas Day. But roast for the veggies and salmon en croute for the rest. DP is making dauphinois. Roast carrots, parsnips and sprouts. Stuffing and Yorkies. Mad combo, but it’s what they all wanted!

Finally going to eat the Christmas pudding and brandy sauce as well.

Nigella's ham in coco-cola here with dauphinoise potatoes and sprouts here.

I'm doing a roast chicken dinner for NYD - a lot more relaxed than a big Christmas dinner and I love starting the year right with a nice, nourishing meal. But it changes every year what we have, we don't have a particular tradition - just something everyone likes that we can all sit around the table and eat together.

Roast. Pork with boiled and roast potatoes, green beans, swede mash, sprouts, peas and carrots with gravy. Can't wait.

We are having shin of beef, dauphinois potatoes, carrots and broccoli with sticky toffee pudding and custard.

My mums cooking roast lamb , purely because it's her favourite so her choice .
Bought when the joints went half price at beginning of December , she done the same last NYD so you could say it's become a tradition lol

Yup Scottish steak pie from the butchers but i will add that I go to the same butchers weekly for food and majority of the time steak pie is included in my weekly trip getting one from the same butchers weekly and usually £13.50
picked it up today didn’t realise till left the shop it was £22.50!! Nearly double in price absolutely raging or I would of jumped to Aldi if I new this was the price and wasn’t really massive either for the price

Me and and my husband are both Scottish, one East and one more West originally.

He grew up with Steak pie but I had never heard of this tradition until I met him…

Our NYD was always more of a refined dinner, guests, left over Christmas crackers on the table, posh clothes and to me steak pie is more of a Tuesday night dinner! 😅

We compromise now and he has a small steak pie for lunch and I pick something else for dinner…

This year we are having blinis, smoked salmon’s etc with a nice bottle of fizz for starter and then Venison, Stilton & broccoli purée, girolle’s, red wine gravy and a fondant potato and then Christmas pudding.

Cant wait.

Steak pie (west of Scotland) - though this year we've got guests coming so we've gone with one steak, one venison. Would usually have mash but we've got goose fat to use up so might do roasties instead. Peas and broccoli on the side.

We usually have a roast. This year it's lamb.

I do a full christmas dinner again here! The full works - my parents did it and I've carried on the tradition for my kids.

Scottish here too but we've broken from the steak pie tradition (who see if it's a central belt tradition?) and having roast leg of lamb with green beans, broccoli and mash. Prawns/smoked salmon with horseradish cream and a lime dressed salad for starters then sticky toffee pudding 😋
Our own tradition is a really rich home made curry on Hogmanay with naan, rice and poppadoms to soak up all the booze!

Oooh that sounds delicious!

@Heboughtmeadishwasherandcoffeeperculator I’m east and there are usually queues at the butchers shops on Hogmanay!

We’ll be having the leftover crackers though😂

I always do a roast dinner with beef or chicken

We used to have a family tradition of going to the cinema for a film around 5pm then go to our favourite Chinese restaurant on the way home gor a final blow out before the NY diet started!

Now it's just me and DH, we don't tend to do anything in particular. We've moved house so don't live near the Chinese restaurant any more.

Probably sweet tea and cheese toasties in a flask, on our cold wet walk

Steak pie here too - and yes we are also Scottish!

Always steak pie and mash when I was a child in Scotland
Now vegetarian so doing cheese and onion pie instead
