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!

Steal pie. But the highlight of the meal will be the neep I paid 17 pounds for where I live.

£17 for turnip? Are you on Saturn?

Scottish as well so its steak pie. When I lived in England I got really confused this wasn't a thing there!

£'17 for a TURNIP ! @MrsThimbles

Sounds brah hen.

I was so shocked I couldn't type swede 😂

Yes. And the Christmas principe were the equivalent of about 9 pounds a kilo.

All that could be heard the table was - I can’t believe how much these were, we feed them to the cattle in Scotland.

No doubt it will be the same tomorrow with the turnip. 😂

Parsnips. Not principe

I tell you I’ve got them all warned - don’t dare put it on your plate if there’s a chance you won’t eat it.

I’ll be hovering over them, grudging every last mouthful of it they have till one of them cracks and says you have mine mum, I know now you love this. And I won’t say no!

Mine was 50p from Tesco ! You savour yours 😃

As kids we had bacon and cabbage, followed by Xmas pudding leftovers fried in butter 🤢

We’re not doing anything special tomorrow. Pasta and salad, I think. I like going out for lunch on New Years Day, but not willing to splash the cash this year.

My Gran used to fry Christmas pudding with an egg for breakfast.

Had to get the Waitrose mention

Scottish, so steak pie however as we're vegetarian I've made a "steak" pie filling, ready to make into pie tomorrow. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but it tastes amazing.

Usually Christmas Dinner round 2! But this year we all fancied steak so steak it is 😋

Nothing special planned, lots of veg to use up so a chicken traybake I think. Garlic and lemon flavoured.

Another Scottish steak pie family here!

My Granny used to serve a massive vat of stovies with oatcakes and beetroot after the bells in the hope of it preventing my uncles from getting too "merry". Never worked mainly due to the home poured measures of whisky.

All the leftover Christmas food!

I have gammon in the freezer.
Meat selection
Cheeses
Crackers
Mince pies
Chocolate fudge cake
Cream

Obviously not all for one meal - likely gammon, egg and chips for lunch and crackers, meats and cheeses for dinner.

Dessert may be eaten at some point - perhaps I should plan that for breakfast

I'm having duck. We had a steak pie two days ago, so another would be too soon...

We are having friends over so

Blackeyed pea salad (they are supposed to be eaten on new years day for good luck
Roast beef and gravy, asparagus, green beans, roast potatoes
Apple and pear crumble and ice cream

We're just having a roast chicken dinner but with more extras than usual- pigs in blankets, stuffing, cauliflower cheese, mash and roasties, parsnips, roast carrots, broccoli, swede and carrot mash and yorkie puds. Followed by trifle if we can fit it in!

I totally forgot the shops would be closed and we have little in because i have been going through our freezer like a Queen.

So for us it will be pasta bake with as many droopy veg I can find to chuck in.

if i had planned better though i would have had a lovely slow roasted lamb with rosemary, and potato dauphinoise and maybe a rattatoiulle.

My local supermarkets are open tomorrow (scotland)

ooh... actually, now i think about it i was just assuming they will be shut. if open i might do steak pie as thanks to this thread I now have a craving!!

Steak Pie. I'm Scottish
