What are you all having to eat on XMAS EVE

[jenk1]

kids have asked for

hot sausage rolls
hot sausages
ham sandwiches
biscuits
cake

i will give them what they ask for but dont particularly want to eat it myself!!!!

so me and dh will be having something else,havent decided what yet tho.

Bailey's.

haha oooh yes and baileys,sainsburys version is half price at the mo and IMO is nicer than baileys.

Wine.

We sometimes get a takeaway on christmas eve.

I am usually exhausted by Xmas Eve so we go for an early meal at our local family-friendly pub, with all the family. It's nice relaxing way to start the xmas choas.

you meant to plan ahead?

oh thats a good idea frazzled fairy.

yes have to plan ahead in our house,DD has been wanting the story of what happens at xmas since september!!!!

i think its nice to plan ahead as well then theres no rushing around last minute.

Chips n egg!

Baileys sounds a fab idea, but does anyone know if you can get the Caramel version cheaper any where such as an own brand? It's to die for, but getting expensive in the quantities we are getting though

We always have fish on Christmas Eve (am starting to think we are unusually formal!) - I've done a whole salmon the last couple of years. Lovely cold in sandwiches on Boxing Day, too.

I'm doing Nigellas macaroni cheese. By special request.

No idea! Probably something nice and easy though, maybe a pizza...

i think its on special offer at sainsburys at the mo,havent seen anyone making an own brand of it tho.

i love salmon but theres only me who eats it in our house as the others hate it!!

sorry thats about the caramel baileys!!

lamb chops baked potatoes and salad; half a glass of fine red wine for me, rest of case to be split between dp and fil

I have nicked someone else's idea from a previous thread so we'll be having hot roast pork sandwiches

and christmas day

Like your idea pigleto - that would keep hubbby and son very happy and out of my way may have to nick that.
I will be having a large glass of wine and hoping we don't get any unexpected visitors.

WE are having family over so will be buffet stylee, SIL is a veggie so am thinking a Quorn chilli/Vegetable lasagne and then posh nibbles/Olives/salads etc

Fish and chips - We are going away on Xmas morning and not back for nearly a week, so I won't have any food in

ham egg and chips! am buying a honey roast ham, so will have chunks slices of that with nice eggs, homemade chips and beans and bread and butter. yum

Hot dogs and burgers.

Trout that dh caught a month ago

We always have T bone steak and chips! We were all gutted when beef on the bone was banned for a few years! gallons of wine too of course!

Crisps, sausage rolls, jelly, flumps and birthday cake!
