Maybe something with an actual vegetable.

A couple of hours later:

Pigs in blankets
Roast parsnips
Brussels sprouts stir-fried with lardons and white wine
Red cabbage
Cranberry sauce
Bread sauce
Gravy

Salad

Cheese

Christmas pudding/mince pies

Chocolate.

Some sort of canapés as a starter, normally do baked Camembert but we fancied something different this year.
Turkey with stuffing, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, honey roasted parsnips, carrots, sprouts with chestnuts and bacon and spiced red cabbage and gravy and cranberry sauce obviously.
Christmas pudding for everyone else and tiramisu cheesecake for me because I can't stand Christmas pudding.

Smoked salmon for starter

Main:

Roast beef (no one except me is keen on turkey)
Roast pork/ham
Roast potatoes
Carrots
Sprouts
Roast parsnips
Gravy
Pigs in blankets
Stuffing

Christmas Pud and brandy sauce

Can't wait!

Vegetarian here.

No starters in order to leave room for all the goodies.

Main
Nut roast
Rose Elliot's Chestnut and Red Wine En Croute x 2 ( 1 with shortcrust pastry, 1 with GF pastry and breadcrumbs)
We have been having this for nearly 20 years and still love it. We make it on Christmas Eve while listening to Carols from Kings College.

Veggie chipolatas
Roasties, Potato and Parsnip
Mashed potatoes and celeriac
Carrots
Peas
Leeks in white sauce
Gravy
And the best bit of the whole meal
Brussels Sprouts 😊

Mustard, Horseradish, Apple Sauce and Cranberry sauce and homemade stuffing.

Rosé to drink and some water.

We will normally have pudding on Boxing Day after the divine Fry Up

There are just the 2 of us but we dress the table and wear nice clothes

Except for the year when we both had the most awful chest infections, just staggered out of bed, cooked the meal, ate a bit of it dressed in our tracks bottoms and vests, then fell back into bed.
It was like an episode of Keeping Up Appearances, with a cast of 2 Onslows. What we were thinking I will never know.

Sorry for rambling, I love this thread and reading about other people's meals.

Me too, to loving seeing what other people have, and now thinking I want devils on horse back, and chestnut something some where, and mmm Baileys custard, or ice-cream!

No starter because we will have had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast.

Goose stuffed with forcemeat stuffing and apple and date stuffing.
Mushroom en croute and goats cheese pitiver for the vegetarians of the family
Roast potatoes
Roast parsnips with honey
Yorkies
Peas
Carrots
Brussels with bacon
Red cabbage

Vegetarian stuffing
Gravy
Sauces like bread, cranberry etc because we like them even though we’re not having the relevant meats!

Pudding for DH
Trifle for the rest

Cheese biscuits and membrillo
Mince pies and cream

Most importantly copious amounts of Buck’s Fizz and cava all day!

And then, do it all again on 27th for DD1 birthday!!

We won't be having a starter we have a big pastries/fruit coffee breakfast with family in the morn then for xmas dinner....
