What are you having for Christmas Dinner?

[T16GEM]

We are having turkey and gammon this year at DD's request. All the trimmings and then M&S Christmas pudding (at my Grandma's request)

I might do som kind of starter this year too, but not quite sure what yet.

What is everyone else having for their christmas dinner this year?

 

[Bolanette87]

Starter: Onion and Mustard Soup with Crisp Pancetta... Making a trial batch soon!

Main: Pan Roasted Duck Breast, Cumberland Sauce, Roast Potatoes, Spiced Red Cabbage, stuffed onions, and possibly some buttered sugar snaps.

Dessert: Probably Chocolate Mousse of some description.... Not too sure yet!

Start- Prawn Cocktail
Main- Turkey with all the trimmings
Dessert- Not sure yet as I don't like Christmas pudding.

I'm more looking to Boxing day when my Mum has said she will cook Sausage pan...yummmmy.

Turkey and all the trimmings for us too, you can't beat it. We probably won't have a starter, and we may have jelly & ice-cream for dessert as everyone in my house (except me) doesn't like mince pies, Christmas pudding or Christmas cake

OMG! What is a chrimbo bimbo to do! Shocking! Are you sure they're your family?

We have smoked salmon on bilinis with creme fraiche/horseradish dressing. A little bit of bubbly goes nice with this

Turkey with all the traditional trimmings, all home made. It has to be king edwards spuds. We like a light red wine with our Christmas dinner as most of us (apart from DH) like the dark meat with it's stronger flavour

After the washing up we have Christmas pudding and mince pies with cream and custard for DH. We usually have a pavlova for the girls as they're not keen on pud and pies.

Yum! I'm looking forward to it already.

[natalielongstaff]

Start- Prawn Cocktail or Melon
Main- Turkey with all the trimmings
Dessert- Christmas pudding with cream or custard
Coffee and choccies to follow

My brother cooks it all as he used to be a chef.... I annoy him every year by buying stuff ready prepared

 

[Muscateer]

Some fab sounding menus.

Starter - Prawn Cocktail
Main - Turkey with stuffing, Roast and mashed tatties, brussels, carrots & neep (turnip) mashed, parsnips, pigs in blankets and lots of gravy
Sweet - Trifle and Christmas Pudding

We used to have Scotch Broth for starter but was too heavy as everyone used to have too many rolls or bread with the soup.

Of course all washed down with lots of different booze but I do like rose wine with my main meal.

 

[wildwood]

Phew, some fantastic sounding feasts for Christmas Dinner!

We don't have a starter at ours, just a main meal. It's usually an option of turkey crown, lamb or pork alongside all the usual trimmings. I can't wait for my sausages in blankets

We then have an option of chocolate gateaux or trifle, all depends what we fancy!
