What is the ultimate Christmas food?

[Wasajollyhappysoul]

The one thing at Christmas that you really look forward to eating?

Mine is a plate of mixed cheese, biscuits/crackers and pickled onions on Christmas Day night…it’s the best!

@Blocked Yes..!

If we’ve had beef or good ham at some point, love it on Warburtons white bread

All the cheese.
Leftovers in a sandwich.

Pate and runny, stinky Brie! Only eat them at Xmas and I cannot bloody wait!

Me too. Love it.

I'm really excited to sit down on Christmas night with a slice of my very first home made Christmas cake. I've been lovingly soaking it in vanilla spiced rum for the last 4 weeks and sneaking a slither each week it's bloody lovely. I'm icing it tomorrow 😁 apricot jam, marzipan, fondant icing, cute Xmas tree decorations and ribbon. Silly but super excited.

This with a generous sprinkle of salt. Cannot wait!

Hot turkey with a bread sauce and cranberry.

Toast, pate and caramelised onion chutney. I think it's because I only eat it at Christmas so look forward to it all year 😋

Mince pies.

The pigs in blankets 🤤

We have a roast lunch most Sundays and frequently have cheese and bits and pieces in the evening. But for me it’s the combination of it all - the acceptance that it’s entirely fine to have it all on a plate and then all on a sandwich later on.

i do have a soft spot for bread sauce but I wouldn’t have that any other time.

I'm making (almost) foot long pigs in blankets. Butchers hook Cumberland sausages from Costco my fave. Nom, nom, nom.

Cheese - in particular Colston Bassett Stilton, Brie, Cambazola and Wensleydale with cranberry. Washed down with a large glass (or three) of port.

You don't like much do you ! LOL😆

A chicken , stuffing and bread sauce sandwich!

Actually, I forgot. Bubble & squeak on boxing day.

Sometimes for dinner I will have toast with pate topped with caramelised onion. Delish!!!

I could probably eat this at any time of the year but it’s a Christmas treat for me 😇

Another vote for leftovers sandwiches; turkey with stuffing, bread sauce, cranberry sauce and gravy or ham with piccalilli.

Ham with bubble and squeak from the leftover veg and a fried egg.

Also leftover Christmas pudding fried in butter 😍

Boxing Day bubble and squeak with baked beans and a fried egg 🥹🫶🏼

Cold Turkey , stuffing , pigs in blankets with hot chips and bread sauce on Boxing Day

Dates ! no one has said Dates . I bloody love them . I've only had them at Christmas .

Boxing Day pie is better than Christmas dinner I think! Turkey, ham, stuffing, pigs in blankets, leftover veg, a white sauce with some white wine and a pastry top. Utter heaven.

I'm all about the side dishes at Christmas, it's not Christmas dinner without about five veg dishes- swede, roast carrots and parsnips, sprouts with bacon, cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage.
