Gammon joint

Fleethatbee · 21/12/2024 05:50

Christmas Day leftovers, meat sandwiches, cheese, chocolate and lots of booze. I thought this was the norm?

Gowlett · 21/12/2024 05:54

Same as Fleethatbee.

This year it's a turkey roast as we're having something different Christmas Day (between visitors and running around I basically couldn't be bothered- as Boxing Day is quieter that's when I decided to do the roast) So the 27th will be bubble and squeak, cold Turkey, pickles, coleslaw, followed by cheese, crackers, chutney, and Pringles and chocolate. Oh and lots of alcohol Smile.

We dont eat meat so I usually cook loads of veg on Christmas day and then have bubble and squeak boxing day.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/12/2024 09:39

Cheese

or bubble and squeak

All other answers are wrong.

We wont have xmas leftovers as we’re not hosting. I’m going to order a curry that day!

dizzydizzydizzy · 21/12/2024 09:45

Leftovers. Boxing Day is the best day of Christmas. Not much work.

Actually, this answer is also right.

AnyoneSomeone · 21/12/2024 09:52

Boxing day buffet.

Snackpocket · 21/12/2024 09:53

Buffet of all the delicious party food!

rainbowstardrops · 21/12/2024 09:58

We cook a joint of gammon and beef and have that cold with any left over turkey,m with chips and pickles. The kids have beans because they don't like pickles!
Then in the evening, cheese and crackers, prawn ring, sausage rolls and nibbles. Lovely!

dicdicnurse · 21/12/2024 10:05

Cold turkey and homemade chips.

Mashroom · 21/12/2024 10:09

We have the turkey dinner again (as was the norm when I grew up) but I make fresh veg and garlic spuds

Goldenphoenix · 21/12/2024 10:47

We eat cold meats (turkey, beef, gammon), bubble and squeak from leftover veg, chips, pickles and chutney. Think I love boxing day meal more than Christmas day meal!

Oldraver · 21/12/2024 11:23

Leftovers, mainly meat and Dauphinoise. Lots of cheese

Cookerhood · 21/12/2024 11:25

Cold meat, bubble & squeak & pickles & any other left overs. Pigs in blankets. Our favourite meal over Christmas

JetskiSkyJumper · 21/12/2024 11:27

Bubble and squeak with cold meats and eggs and buffet food.,

Ifailed · 21/12/2024 11:27

An easter egg.

KohlaParasaurus · 21/12/2024 11:28

My father tells me that we're getting salmon, boiled potatoes and non-festive vegetables. And we'll have the Christmas pudding that we never get round to eating on Christmas Day.

RosesAndHellebores · 21/12/2024 11:31

When I used to host, Boxing Day was the big event usually with a minimum of 12.

Cold sliced ham served hot on Xmas Eve
Cold sliced turkey
Platter of continental meats
Pork pie
Veggie quiche/baked halloumi (in later years)
Pickles
Anti-pasti
Coleslaw
My special Italian style roast potato slices
Good bread
Cheeses (crackers)
Grapes/satsumas
Christmas cake
Trifle

Lashings of wine.

Much preferred it to Christmas lunch.

Nowadays, probably Cold meat, pickle and salad with my frail and very elderly mother and step with DD. DH will be with his very frail mother at the opposite end of the country.

Christmasgonk · 21/12/2024 11:31

We’re making a Rick stein duck pie as having the in laws over. Followed by chocolate and hazelnut semifreido (both made by DH). Plus cheese board. Party food in evening as they’ll have gone home by then

Georgyporky · 21/12/2024 11:44

CocoQueen2024 · 21/12/2024 11:51

We have cold turkey, chips and pickles washed down with a cheeky glass of white wine. There is just my husband and I.
