What’s on the Christmas grazing board

[GRCP]

4 types of cheese, sourdough crackers, quince jelly, red onion chutney, salami, cold cuts of turkey and ham, olives, gherkins, grapes… what else??

(procrastinating by planning my Christmas shop…)

Posh crisps, leftover pigs in blankets, home made sausage rolls, cranberry sauce

Sourdough bread, those preserved artichokes, smoked salmon with lemon, olives

Dry roasted peanuts, mini cheddars
I’ve never eaten a fig in my life but feel they may belong?

Pork pie, crisps, salmon/ shell fish of some description, mayonnaise, carrot,/cucumber sticks, multi coloured cherry tomatoes.

Christmas pudding brownie bites

Posh crisps for the win OP!

@Lovemycat2023hahaha

great additions all

pate… (posh, obvs)

@ShutuptrevorI feel sweet needs a whole new board. Panettone, biscotti, after 8s…

More cheese! At least 4 more. Dont need to be massive pieces

Sorry, you lost me at ‘leftover pigs in blankets’. What are those exactly?? 🐽

Yes more cheese and I forgot the (posh) butter

@bookstackhaha - you’d have to make thousands wouldn’t you

Walnuts. Dried figs (the big white ones, not those soggy things).

The cheese choices are particularly important... mine are: a nice blue- Stilton or Kentish blue, a soft (maybe brie), a really good cave aged cheddar (one that has crystals in it), comte, maybe something smoked amd/or a local speciality. My absolute worst cheese is wensleydale with fruit in, but I know some people love it and consider it a festive essential!

Wensleydale with cranberries is essential

Ha! we cross posted and you made my point!

Olives, more olives, marinaded olives, pickled chilli garlic, olives, chargrilled artichokes, olives, cheese, olives, cheese, cheese, onion, olives, bresaola, mortadella, salami, cheese, olives, cornichons, caperberries, maybe a few olives, cheese, blue cheese, goats' cheese, GF bread with olives and cheese, tomato GF bread, chilli garlic lemon marinaded sardines, pickled chilli, cashews, pistachios, all in separate little bowls.

Oh, and maybe some olives and cheese. I'm a bit worried I haven't got enough of those.

Crisps, about 7 cheeses ham, salmon prawns, mushrooms a la greque, bajan fishcakes, salad , bread, bread sticks, cheese biscuits,. And that just for the 3 of us. DH will never under cater if he can over cater. Personally I blame my late MiL who worked on the assumption that if you could move you hadn't eaten enough

Christmas grazing board?
CHRISTMAS GRAZING BOARD? 😡
I would sweep the lot off the table into the bin.
Christmas grazing board, my ass!
Pot Noodles all round, two if they're peckish.
And a glass of Sandeman's Tawny Port, two if they're a bit thirsty.

Some chicory/endive for people who can't (or don't want to) eat wheat or grains.

And have a layout that keeps allergens away from the rest of the food.

Some will howl, but I'm partial to proper coronation sauce (with whipped cream) for my leftover turkey. But maybe that's not for grazing day.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese blinis. Tempura prawns with sweet chilli dip. Blue cheese dip. I usually cook a whole ham in cider, then roast it with honey and we carve as we go.

Baked Camembert and nice wine 🍷 (white too, and desert)
