Christmas Day starters

[Lookingoutadirtyoldwindow]

I Always do prawn cocktail but very dull
What starters do you do?

Anything that doesn’t need the oven or cooker so it’s normally one of the following

Smoked salmon, brown bread and cucumber
Melon and Parma ham
Seafood platter
Pate with toast

Equally boring. A choice of prawn cocktail, soup or melon. I have a few fussy eaters.

No starter here, it's only ever me, DH and our three DC's for Christmas Dinner and its hard enough to get them to leave their presents and sit for long enough to eat one meal 😂 we have a big breakfast around 9.30-10am then lunch at around 2.30-3pm and dessert.

Pate with crackers
Peach halves with tuna

Prawn cocktail, smoked salmon with lemon zesty cream cheese, mackerel pate, toast and salad

(have it as lunch a few hours earlier)

Cauliflower cheese soup

It’s canapés here, but we’re I to do a starter it would be really light, something a long the lines of a pear or fig, blue cheese and walnut salad with a drizzle of honey.
