Show me your Christmas dinners!

I'll start. Sorry for sticking it here, posting for traffic.

Didn't fancy turkey this year so did a beef wellington, with mushroom duxelle & Parma ham inside.
Goose fat roasties with garlic salt and rosemary.
Cinnamon red cabbage
Pan fried sprouts with chestnuts and pancetta
Normal carrots as my 4 year old won't eat them any other way
Pigs in blankets
Homemade yorkies
Waitrose bought stuffing as I don't really like it that much.

Topped with an orange gravy with a red wine stock pot shoved in.

It was delish. Ate early-ish as I have to eat with medication. Thought I'd get in early and ask you all to share your lovely Christmas lunches!

Also highly recommend the meat from Waitrose butcher counter. It's lovely.

@fuckmemytoehurts it's just baked in a big tray! Same method for little yorkies but just a bigger pan to cook in and keeping an eye on the oven!

It's not about watching the five a day, it's about a plate full of stodge not being very pleasant without some greenery to help it along, carrots, red cabbage and potatoes aren't greens! I've never seen a Christmas dinner without peas before!

No pictures but we had a starter of smoked salmon, prawns in sauce, large shell on prawns and a crab and salmon terrine with crackers and various breads
Then chicken and/or lamb, gravy and a red wine jus, mint or cranberry jelly, home made stuffing, pigs in blankets, mashed potatoes, carrot and swede mash, broccoli, sprouts and leeks in a cheese sauce
Enough leftovers for 2-3 days
We didn’t have a dessert as yet, but will be a choice of Waitrose red velvet dessert, panna cotta, Xmas pudding or cheese and biscuits

😋😋😋

Are you eating it out of the foil tray @macap?

Just realised the red cabbage is still in the slow cooker 2 hours after the event. Again.

Christmas is the one time everyone requests what they want, hence the selection of beef, turkey and pork.

We had the most ginormous steaks with peppercorn sauce (only put a little on for the photo as didn't want it running off the plate!) with pigs in blankets, shredded sprouts with pancetta and chestnuts, carrots, parsnips and roast potatoes. Had to go for a walk before we could tackle pudding - which was home made tiramisu.

😋

It was lovely!

Nd house here. They pick what they want. It works for us!

Oh my… that is lush. That’s all Merry Christmas!

Yum!

I've never seen a Christmas dinner without peas before!

I've never had peas with a xmas dinner. Peas are such an everyday veg they don't belong on a xmas dinner in my opinion.

These pictures are making me really crave yorkshire puddings but I don't have any gravy

I didn't lift a finger. My adult son did everything (proud mum).

@fuckmemytoehurts
We're in Tenerife.. eldest DSC is 30 this year so we're done with traditional christmases ❤️🎄
So far have been taught to Salsa by a hunky Norwegian, drunk champagne cocktails... all the time in a bikini!
Hope you're having a great one 🎅🏻

My ds plate, he refused the sprouts and parsnips

Still full from this at 2.30

Made far too much, as usual!

And I've never felt the need to be critical of someone else's Christmas dinner. Funny how we're all different, isn't it 🙂

This was mine. I left the table feeling nicely full but am feeling more and more stuffed as I sit on the settee.

DH and DS had the same with many pigs in blankets- I don’t eat pork.

The gravy reduced down too far whilst I had it on the hob gently simmering. Green veg police will be pleased to note that I had plenty. There was even more under the home made ‘yorkshire pie’, as my son calls them.

What a good job you have done !
Happy for fil that you helped him today . 😊

Here’s mine, a vegan, gluten free Indonesian feast!

Thankyou x my other half made them. We use a really old shallow Yorkshire pud tin my mum gave us. !

Doubt it - look at all the Yorkshire puddings!
