My DH is British, I'm from halfway across the world and we are having ourselves a nice little traditional christmas dinner with baby and Ddog. Put my mum arrives from home country on Boxing Day and on the 27th I want to do her a christmas dinner so she experiences the thing! She is a prof of Eng lit so has a very clear idea of English traditions etc.
However, she doesn't eat beef or pork for historical reasons they aren't consumed in my country and she is unwilling to experiment really. Also meats I.e. mutton or chicken is cooked till it's unrecognisable in spices in my country so I'm trying to develop a menu which will be Christmassy and chicken and veg based.
Any ideas that don't involve sausages, pigs in blankets, bacon lardons,sausage meat stuffing and yet is nice and gives a good Christmassy menu?
Chicken can feature as the bird of honour. Eagerly waiting for nice ideas!
