Is there such a thing?! Looking for something vageuly festive and feastlike with minimal effort for my family.

Everyone will have done the turkey and full trimmings on Xmas day itself but in my house it will just be the 4 of us so not enough turkey leftovers to stretch to 8 adults and 6 kids(!)

So emphasis on the EASY as baby may be only 4 weeks old.

TIA MNers,

Thanks all
Tis family so fully expecting others to pull weight/bring things. Don't think we'll all be sitting down together (dont think we have enough chairs ) just pulling together some ideas - and expat, yes already have my xmas slot with ocado
Have looked at both Waitrose and M&S pre-prepared stuff before, will have another look.

I personally will be mainlining pate and blue cheese having been missing them since March but this is def food for thought.

Wow, did not expect my "what shall we eat?" thread to turn into something from Emily Post!!
Aitch, I know what you mean about taking to having staff
Think we may go for the ham and maybe baked spuds but salmon also sounds good too. Trying not to overthink it all - gotta have a baby first fgs.
