Christmas food list. What have I forgotten?

[EwanHoozami]

So I'm doing a traditional Christmas lunch for the first time for ages
I'm asking one of the other guests to bring the snacks, chocs and mincers. Am I ready to sharpen my elbows and face Sainsbo? Or have I forgotten something vital like my sanity

sprouts
parsnips
red cabbage
Maris Piper spuds
carrots
apples
satsumas
lemons
limes
swede
cream
milk
cold meats for supper sandwiches
cheeses inc brie, blue, goats and cheddar
turkey crown
parmesan for cheesy snips
smoked salmon
brandy butter or cream
chipolatas
a little non-christmas pud for the haterz
streaky bacon
Quorn roast
Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings(I know, I know...)
frozen peas
bread sauce
stuffing
decent bread white and brown
cranberry sauce
christmas pudding
piccalilli
sunflower oil
olive oil
veg gravy
crackers
foil
cheese biscuits
mayonnaise
red pesto
red & white wine
beer
tonic
gin
extra gin
emergency gin

An excellent list, I'll nick it if you don't mind

Goose fat to roast the potatoes in.
Chutney for your cheeseboard.
After eights?? So uncool they're now cool again

Bubbly? Prosecco maybe?

Yes lots of fizz.
Foil tray to roast the turkey in.

Red pesto!?

Get 4 sheets of A4 paper & then on top of each sheet write starter, main, dessert and then snacks and drinks on the last page.

Divide the list above into each course so you can see if anything is missing from each course iyswim.

I find focussing a course at a time helps me better than writing one long shopping list which is overwhelming.

Foil tray, goose fat and chutney! Good call.

the red pesto is for a cream cheese and pesto dip that my sister insists that Christmas day is incomplete without

rasiah I like that idea. I can then put it into a spreadsheet that filters it by supermarket aisles

Loo rolls
Kitchen paper
bleach
bin bags
kitchen cleaner
bathroom cleaner
juice
Posh soft drinks for the drivers

Schloer
Bucks fizz
Ibruptofen
Paracetmol
Alka seltzer
crackers
Festive nuts
Pickled walnuts

Butter

Pudding?

Gaviscon
candles
matches

I was just going to say pudding......??

I've made it 36 years without needing a pickled walnut so far...

Christmad pud is on the list
are you going to offer something for the xmas pud haters? Something citrussy like a lemon cheesecake or lemon posset to counterbalance the rich meal.

Just click & collect Altinkum, make life easy on yourself!

You forgot Christmas breakfast. In our house, bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, nice orange juice.

Crackers & something christmassy or flowers for the table

Extra cleaning supplies (paper towels, napkins etc)

Baileys wine & fizz.

Do you have enough plates/cutlery etc?

Just copied your list down! Thanks.

I've added bramley apples to go with the red cabbage, ice-cream and dates to mine.

Ewan... can you tell me about your sis's dip? Is it just cream cheese and red pesto or is there anything else in it? (It's just that I happen to have a recently opened jar of red pesto in the fridge and cream cheese.... and we are a dip family so I'm doing a blue cheese dip and would like to do another one too....)
Ta!

posh chocs ie- lily o'brien, lidnt or ferrero etc or even thorntons and hotel chocolate
cheap chocs- celebrations, heroes etc
chocolate biscuit tin
shortbread
Turkish delight and jellied fruit
after dinner mints
nuts
doritoes and salsa
vegetable crisps
cheese twists

ooops missed the bit about others bringing snacks and chocs

Grapes?
Decent coffee.
@ emergency gin!

Rousette that's pretty much it, I might add a bit of natural yog if it's a bit thick.

Click and collect. Of course!
