New years day dinner

[Theneverendingdrama]

Off to the shops this morning to pick up something for tomorrows dinner. What do you eat for dinner on New Years day?

I'd like to do roast lamb but lamb is so expensive!

Don't have a family tradition, but as it's a Sunday will do a roast dinner. Not a fancy one, just what we normally have, and dessert will be fruit or yoghurt if anything.
Cracking on with the housework and got some work to do before term starts, as well as getting the kids back into a routine. So dinner needs to be hassle free.

We're having a whiskey-aged Cote de Boeuf, with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, carrots, and broccoli, with horseradish sauce and gravy. Possibly followed by apple crumble and custard.

In good Scottish Ne'ersday tradition, DH will have Steak pie, tatties, carrots and sprouts. DS and I will a vegan version of pie with the veg.

It's just a normal day for us and we don't do a roast on Sunday routinely anyway so if will be pasta or similar.

Yes this is what we have.

It varies here. We are having steak and chips with onion rings, field mushrooms and peas

We are going out for a nice change for dinner

We'll be having roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, carrots, peas and broccoli. Husband will cook it, just the 2 of us (a nice change from all the years we've had family here)

We are having a ham

A beef roast and a pavlova. Not hosting anyone but was away for Christmas so looking forward to a nice meal at home.

Beef olives in pepper sauce, roast and mashed potatoes, buttered carrots and broccoli. Scotland here but not steak pie for us.

Inspired by another thread I'm doing Ottolenghi's lamb shawarma recipe plus a couple of his side dishes.

My dd is back to university the next day, so it's a chance to say goodbye to her too and the last meal for all of us together for a while.

the lamb was very expensive! I can't burn it and there has to be leftovers for at least a day.

Steak pie in Scotland!

I didn't know about the Scottish Steak Pie tradition - I might appropriate that next year!

Another answer of steak pie as we're in Scotland. With mushy peas. The proper ones you soak overnight and then drown in vinegar once they're cooked!

Beef casserole with garlic bread, and lots of red wine.

a roast dinner but instead of a joint of meat we’re having big pigs in blankets

Oh I'm not keen we have garden peas instead I do put vinegar on mine just as an homage 😃

Leftover beef fillet & accompaniments from tonight.

Which tradition is that?

We're having lamb this year, and I bought it this morning. By gum it's a big one and it cost more than I paid for the turkey at Christmas. We've had a rotten time over the last few weeks what with one thing and another, and we don't have lamb that often, so I thought 'sod it'!

Me too - I do have some Scottish ancestors in my family tree (3x great grandparents), and I like a good steak pie.

After suffering flu all through the Christmas period whilst still hosting and cooking Christmas Eve/Day big meals I think a Chinese takeaway is the only option for New Year's Day! Can't wait!

We are doing a southern American style black eyed pea stew with mac & cheese, greens and honey cornbread.

Usually do pork, potatoes and cabbage as that’s what we always had growing up.

We have a tradition of having toad in the hole but with pigs in blankets, and lots and lots of veg to balance it out!
