What does your meal contain? Starter, main and dessert, especially the main meal? Do you include Yorkshire’s, brocolli? Or are these just for roast dinners?

I love Christmas pudding, @IamGusFring, especially with brandy butter and clotted cream. You don't need a lot, but it is gorgeous! I've been known to buy an extra individual one for eating in January 😁
