Is it just me who loves the leftovers more than the actual Xmas dinner?

I love love love my leftover sandwiches - warm baguette with turkey, stuffing and the bacon sausage things with mayo on one side and cranberry jelly on the other. I look forward to it every year and always buy extra bacon sausages specifically for them! But they're all gone now

How about you - what have you done with your leftovers?

Doesn't sound very British to me.
Americans love leftovers, have you checked your parentage lately?

I've been making turkey and stuffing sandwiches with "lashings" of cranberry sauce. I much prefer them to Christmas dinner - though I would also like Yorkshire puddings as a side dish.

Aw, why isn't it British?

I am one quarter American if that helps :o

Ooh mimsy that reminds me, we accidentally ended up with small foil baking trays this year (blame DH - he thought he was ordering roasting tins ) so we did the yorkies in those instead of muffin trays and they turned out really nicely. It made me think of a pub where I had shredded roast pork rolled into a rectangular Yorkshire pudding, with apple sauce to dip. AMAZING. Quite tempted to try that myself sometime.

Mmmmmmm turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce, bread pudding, lettuce and ham mmmmmm salivates

I don't know if raft link worked - this song is by an old friend of mine who tried to get it in to the Xmas tunes a couple of years ago.. The old Christmas sandwich :-)

Doesn't sound very British to me.

Eh? Have you never heard of bubble and squeak. I purposely cook too many potatoes and sprouts so we can have b&s on Boxing Day.

I hate them, try to only do enough so we don't have leftovers and give any we do have to my parents to take home.

I love the leftovers. We had beef instead of turkey this year so I missed out on the turkey sandwiches but we had a lovely chunky-bubble-and-squeak-type-thing with the leftover potatoes, parsnips, stuffing and sprouts just with some fresh gravy and yorkshire puddings on Boxing Day. Enjoyed it far more than the actual Christmas dinner!

Love leftovers, especially Xmas ones. Very British IMO. Even when we dint do Xmas dinner at home, we buy a turkey so we can have leftovers! This year we didn't order in time and I really miss it. I'm sure we could still buy one in the supermarkets but have not been shopping TG

YANBU, I love leftovers!

We didn't host this year so have "had" to cook a ham and buy in some other bits in order to create some faux-leftovers. Along with some pickles and cheese. Nummy.

Yep, love them. Just enjoy grazing - cold roast potatoes, stuffing, cold Christmas pudding for breakfast

Today we had turkey and ham pie, yesterday bubble and squeak.

I love those sausages so much that I bought extra. The Kurds and I are having them tonight!

We have roast beef for Christmas, bug I insist on a turkey so I get my turkey sandwiches.

Not the Kurds (not that I would discriminate against them, I just don't know any) plus the kids would be hungry if I fed the Kurds instead of the kids

I love left over veg and sausage!

Very in you to hunk of the Kurds.

See, my autocorrect has made a fool of me when I'm taking the piss!

Absolutely love leftovers, think I was more bothered about them than eating the first time!

Currently tucking into a turkey curry as we speak type

Yes. I love the leftovers better. Boxing day was brill because we had a complete Christmas dinner of leftovers, served with a little bit of freshly made gravy for lunch, then turkey, stuffing, cranberry sandwiches for tea. And no cooking involved. :)

We had 39 pigs in blankets on Christmas Day between six of us. Plenty of leftovers.

YANBU. Christmas dinner is very fussy, but leftover food is just as tasty but is relatively effortless and laid back, with the same pleasure.
