What’s your Christmas Day menu?

[Highlove]

Just sitting down to make a list and mainly because I’m nosy I’d love to know what everyone else is having.

Gammon with apple glaze
Honey roast parsnips and carrots
Pickled red cabbage
Sprouts with chestnuts & bacon
Mash made with butter & cream
Proper gravy made from the gammon juices

Mince pie strudel and custard for afters.

Roast turkey breast, chipolata, sausage meat stuffing, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, sweetcorn, baby carrots, tenderstem brocolli and turkey gravy.

They've requested Toblerone cheesecake and vanilla ice cream for pudding 🙄😁

Starter - choice of pate and oatcakes or prawn cocktail
Soup - lentil and veg with home made bread roll
Main - turkey, stuffing, roast potatoes, honey glazed carrots and parsnip, sprouts, gravy, cranberry sauce
Dessert - trifle or Christmas pud
Cheeseboard (probably won't eat and that plus leftovers will be a Boxing Day buffet)

Can't wait!!

Standard roast turkey but absolutely no sprouts. We always have braised red cabbage and parsnip puree (mashed with cream and nutmeg) as veg.

Pescatarians here. Homemade parsnip soup to start, poached salmon, pan-fried garlicky prawns, roast potatoes, sprouts (although I'm the only one who likes them), temderstem broccoli and carrots, then cheese, biscuits, fruit and mince pies.

•Prawn cocktail
•Soup (veg or lentil usually)
•Turkey, stuffing, sprouts, boiled and roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, carrots, peas, broccoli, red cabbage, cranberry sauce, bread sauce, gravy and probably more I can't think of
•Trifle, cheesecake, Christmas pudding, ice cream
•Cheese and biscuits
•Copious amounts of wine and port.

I'm working this year and I'm devastated about missing out on......the trifle. That is my favourite part of the whole Christmas dinner.
