Starter ideas when having ham as a main course

[Pennies]

We're having ham on boxing day and I'm struggling to come up with a starter. Any ideas?

Chunks of Brie or goats cheese wrapped in filo pastry and baked would work well

Sorry should have said - no cheese.

Butternut squash soup?

Leek and potato soup?creamy Garlic mushrooms on little toasts?

I think a lovely soup is a great idea.

A luxurious mushroom soup would be lovely.

or spicy butternut squash

or spicy parsnip.

Butternut squash soup sounds perfect! Thanks.

Would coconut and lime pannacotta with pineapple coulis be OK for dessert?

Yes. It would.

I'll be round at seven

yes delicious! light and refreshing with a good punchy fruit flavour.
