AIBU to provide a full roast dinner on Boxing Day? It's beef today. Our family have always done this but my (slim) sister in law says we're weird, mostly tongue in cheek, and that most people have light food. Just wondering

DD has eaten properly today. I, however, am sticking to snacking on cheese and biscuits, crisps and after eight chocolates. A roast dinner sounds lovely, but after the madness of yesterday I am just feeling too lazy to make it!

We were at MIL yesterday so as I didnt have to cook we're having roast chicken today, MIL and FIL however are having a fry up. No set rules here.

Boxing Day lunch is better than Christmas dinner. We're doing a late lunch of bubble & squeak, with cold cuts of roast turkey, beef, pork and ham, pigs in blankets, home made stuffing wrapped in bacon, pickles and freshly baked crusty bread with lots of butter. We've also got a bit of a table buffet with home made sausage rolls and cheese straws and other nibbly bits, followed by a lush lemon dessert I found in Sainsburys. Can't wait!

Holy crap Woodburner, a full curry at 1pm - that's incredible. How can you eat that so early?

I enjoy our boxing day dinner more that xmas day!

Cold meats, (usually beef, or duck, with gammon) buttery mash, bubble and squeak, peas, brown pickle, yellow pickle and pickled onions! Followed by all the pudding and choc we hadn't polished off already.

YUM!

(kids love it too - but are at their dads today this year - so they will expect me to rustle up the boxing day dinner this weekend i expect. Except from scratch, not left overs! Fine by me Grin)

MrsKoala my children get up at the crack of ridiculous, so 1pm is like 4pm in normal hours! Between 5 and 5.30 is normal start time here :-) plus we had Christmas lunch at 1 yesterday and no tea as too stuffed!
