What are you having for dinner/tea/supper in between Christmas and New Year?

[Bringonthesunforthewashing]

Just that really!

Normal stuff that we usually eat.

Boxing Day will be leftovers but after that 27th will be a turkey bake my mil makes every year. Then Mexican food, pizza, salmon and potatoes, freezer food.

Then on Hogmanay we'll have party food and New Year's Day is steak pie (traditional in Scotland).

The first few days is basically a regular stream of cheese, quality street and other snacks. Then we get sick of it and order a Chinese or something. Very little planning happens.

Some variation on chocolate, cheeses, crisps and wine.

Fish pie!

For some weird family tradition reasons, normally egg and chips features on one of the nights.

I think because it is relatively bland food 😁

Nachos, leftovers stuffed into toasties for the toastie machine’s short annual appearance, and haggis at NY thanks to my uni days in Edinburgh - I’ve got all of my very English family, very into it!

Every day food from Boxing Day onwards and then something different on 31st and 1st.

Lots of different variations of bubble n squeak because it’s my favourite so it will be in patties with cold meat and pickles
rough chopped and fried with beans and a fried egg
gammon egg and chips as it’s DDs favourite
left over cold meats again with smashed potatoes and some type of veg
New Year’s Eve I’m going to make creamed potato’s and leeks with a leg of lamb and other green veg
lots of cheese and chocolate and I have a choc panatoni to have with baileys
and I’ve made a batch of sausage meat, stuffing, Brie and cranberry sausage rolls, a la tick rock

once we get bored of that it will be shepherds pie and back to the normal before everyone pretends they are going to be healthy in 2024

Ham, cheese, pickles, chocolate log

26th - bubble and squeak with poached egg
27th - Brie and cranberry toasties
28th - jacket potatoes and winter slaw
29th - chestnut and cranberry falafel with jewelled couscous
30th - roast cauliflower tagine
31st - cheese fondue

Leftovers and air if I don't get my arse into gear and do the food shopping

Boxing day- having guests for a curry night. Butter chicken, lamb madras, saag paneer, mixed pakoras, Naan, poppadoms, salad.
27th Probably leftovers from curry night.
28th Steak ramen bowls.
29th Chicken and halloumi souvlaki platter.
30th Homemade Pizza & salad.

This. And buffet food!

I don't know what I'm having tomorrow 🙈 let alone between Christmas and New Year! Probably whatever is in the house.

Stealing some ideas from this great thread!

I didnt know people planned food for this time. It will be leftovers,sandwiches and pasta until New Year when I might make an effort.
DH will be in hospital this year having heart surgery so New Year will probably be the Christmas dinner he missed.

Left overs
Ploughman's
Cheeses
Charcuterie
Caviar
Salmon
Blinis
Ready meals
Beans on toast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🎅

Boxing day - buffet food/cheese board
27th - Christmas Pie - basically all the leftover veg, meat, stuffing & potatoes in an oven dish, covered in gravy & topped with puff pastry. Served with peas.
28th - takeaway with my brother & family
29th - DD1 is cooking us a Christmas dinner at hers as we wont see her Christmas day
30th - Stovies

Toasted turkey sandwiches
hot turkey sandwiches with gravy and chips
Turkey pot pie
Turkey curry
Turkey fried rice
😋

Left overs, party food, snacks and probably a couple of takeaways
Then steak pie on New Year's Day.

Depends how much time we're away staying with family. At my parents there will be Turkey sandwiches, turkey with bubble and squeak and chips, turkey curry, vegetable/lentil or split pea soup made with turkey stock. Then substantial everyday meals like lasagne, baked fish and veg, curry.
At home we'd eat more meat free meals

A raclette has been requested in our house. Also pie for days when we are out/working. At some point will have seafood like salmon or lobster - probably NYE.

Oh and Christmas pasta shapes of course 😂🎄

Christmas ham, cheese and pâté on crusty bread

I'm cooking the ham on Boxing Day this year. I normally do it on Christmas Eve, but this year we're having Lamb Shawarma with salads and dips for a change.

This means there will be leftover turkey and ham, plus stuffing and pigs in blankets for several days. This is actually my favourite Christmas food. Add in fresh bread, crisps, pickles and some warm sausage rolls and I could eat it every day.

There will probably also be turkey and ham pie, ham and chips, and warm baguettes with turkey, cranberry and stuffing. Probably some kind of turkey and vegetable soup.

Saturday 30th I'm planning a charcuterie board. NYE we're going out for a meal. New Year's Day will be roast beef.
