    Turkey Crown. Pigs in blankets. Roast Parsnips. Gravy.

    There will be other trimmings, but as long as I get the Holy Quadrangle I’ll be happy.

    Home made Mia Sofia pizza and garlic bread followed by Eton Mess. Bloody lovely, very few dishes and loads of time for everyone to be together.

    We do have a more formal lobster dinner on Christmas Eve though.

    We’re hosting and I’m cooking.
    Melon and star fruit for starters, with rasperry coolie. Might put on some parma ham too.
    Mains: standard roast turkey with roast tatos, a shoulder of lamb for me, stuffing, pigs in blankets, 3 veg: probably carrots, peas and cabbage.
    Desert: cake and ice cream.
    Drinks: Stella Artois 😉 (only joking, some sort of wine the wife is sorting, although when I asked my bil what he wants to drink he said Lime Cordial!!! weirdo)

    Roast pork for us, from one of my sister’s pigs. I’m hoping it’ll be a Berkshire, but could be a Tamworth or an Oxford Sandy and Black. With as many trimmings as I can be bothered doing, but definitely pigs in blankets from the same animal.

    So that’s basically pork, sausages, bacon and maybe a couple of sprouts.

    That sounds a peasants dinner RD, something you’d have on a Tuesday.

    Roast ham, Roast chook, enough trimmings to last a month and masses of sprouts, roast taters, parsnip carrot and gravy.

    It’s my favourite days cooking of the year.

    Going to Florida and it’s apparently Lobster and Beef. Jesus would have loved it.

    Sadly it means I miss the most important part of the Christmas eating- the most beer I consume at one time all year in the pub on Christmas Eve.

    First year in about 10 years or more I haven’t hosted, off to Ma’s this year so not sure of the full menu. There will be lots though and plenty of fluids too.

    Xmas pud is here though ready to take over next week, love Xmas pud.

    Fresh topside Gammon, caramelised carrots, sweet potato thrice fried fries.
    Then marble chocolate brownie cake and custard.

    The actual day can go do one and I’ll be as far away from all the shite as possible.

    Got two delayed Xmas dinners scheduled with remote relatives for early Jan, so not gonna bother with a roast on Xmas Day this year.

    Wife’s requested risotto – one of my specialities – so I’m mulling over the contents now.

    Thinking king prawns and some green veggies. Probably not sprouts though.

    I’m cooking and I hate Turkey, so….

    Large chunk 3.5kg) of Aberdeen Angus for us – prepared following Tom Kerridges ‘treacle cured’ recipe.

    The veggies will be getting home made wild mush room + herb pies.
    i’ll do all the usual pigs in blankets/sprouts/etc.

    Boxing day the outlaws are coming – we’ll be having cold beef, and i’ll knock up some brie/red onion and cranberry tarts for the veggies, and some cheddar/red onion/smokey bacon tarts for the meat eaters.

    Loads of nice cheese all ready in fridge.

    I enjoy Christmas cooking. a lot.

    I wouldn’t be going.
    Seriously – I wouldn’t and didn’t on a couple of occasions whilst still married because of stuff like that!

    It’s tempting but If i didn’t show up it would upset my mother for no good reason, and she’s old enough and done enough for the both of us over the years that she doesn’t deserve that. Christmas has never really been a big deal to me so i’m happy enough to just go with the flow for one day.

    Although I think I might do a rib of beef on boxing day, It seems to be the STW Christmas plat du jour.

    Another for the rib of beef, turkey is over rated in my opinion, and after working in a butchers shop for years the last thing i want to see on christmas day is another bloody turkey.

    Well, we got given some ration packs at work yesterday for if we get called out and unable to get food so it could be either vegetable curry or chilli.

    Yorkshire pot. Boned turkey, stuffed with boned chicken, stuffed with boned duck, stuffed with boned pheasant, stuffed with boned partridge stuffed with venison pate and held together by various stuffings. Not had one for abour 10 years but local butcher does it as a specialty.

    Previous years have included various roasts although Bison was probably most exotic. Kids still give honourable mention to the year we were all full of cold and had pizza.

    @Bazz. i concur. as a butcher myself i feel exactly the same.

    Going out for dinner for the first time – ever. But will be turkey and the trimmings. Looking forward to it, will make a nice change and where we are going, I know the food will be decent

    Going around the parent’s as usual, just the four of us.

    Traditional turkey and the rest: I love it. Best meal of the year. Washed down with lots of wine/champagne and whatever else is available (pretty much anything we want) and lots of nibbles.
