Christmas Food

(If this is on the wrong board than sorry or if there is another thread then sorry but I have searched and can't find what i'm looking for!)

Those of you who do buffets on Christmas day evening and Boxing day, what food do you have? I can't seem to think of what else to get, my mind has gone blank!

    I think you have to have turkey in a Xmas Buffet. That is a must have.
    Also, TV Chef, Simon Rimmer, does a really really tasty honey & orange glazed sprouts and beetroot with chestnuts. Works so well. One of my tastiest little Xmas treats of all time. Check it out: www. eatthechef.com/recipe.aspx?id=2

    I think I must live with p-pincher as we have the same (though the sausage rolls are an old be-ro (sp?) recipe from a book my Mum passed on to me when I left home 18 years ago.

    Boxing day evening is the start of the stew fest! I love stew & dumplings & it lasts about 3 days!
