Christmas Dinner menu

Denando

Oh dear! I started reading this, just out of interest, having made my plan, but now I'm so tempted by all these new recipes, I'm not so sure any more.

Original plan was for OH + brother and (grown up) kids:

Hors d’oeuvres:

Olives ~ Pigs in blankets ~ Crisps ~ Nuts

Main course:

Free range roast turkey

Sprouts with chestnuts and thyme butter

Maple and mustard glazed carrots

Roast King Edward potatoes

Roast parsnips

Gravy

Cranberry, apple and sage stuffing

Cranberry and Clementine sauce

Dessert:

Christmas pudding and brandy and orange butter

Christmas tree cake

Mince pies

One meat and 3 or 4 dull veg with some stuffing and gravy - you'd hardly know it's Christmas!
