    We are having gammon today with chips n peas with either an egg or pineapple? but Boxing Day will be the buffet as it didn't make sense to cook then let it go cold just to use it for ham.

    Spaghetti and veggie Meatballs here. Made the sauce yesterday, just need to cook the spaghetti and add the meatballs, quick and easy and will please our guests. Will also do some garlic bread and salad.

    Enjoy whatever you have.
  • I'm working all day & need to do some cooking when I get home so I am doing chicken fajitas for tea as they are quick, easy & tasty.
  • Today is my birthday so food is stuff that takes little effort. Kedgeree for brunch and then buffet dinner of frozen party food, cold meat, salad ect. and a glass or two of cava this evening :beer:
  • my mam always used to do us pork and stuffing cobs with a trifle for after, both myself, sister and brother have followed this tradition on.... this year though I'm out at a friends so instead of having the cobs tonight we are going to do them boxing day instead.


    Happy birthday drinkupretty...hope you have a lovely day.

    we're baking our ham today too, so will use some of it chopped up in pasta in a creamy sauce with leeks & spinach
  • We used to have a tradition of having a take away - either curry or Chinese. However, this year we (husband, son and me) are going out for a slap up lunch at a lovely country pub. Therefore, dinner won't be required - I might, however, have a slice of the Tunis cake we've made.
  • Baked ham, jacket potatoes, corn on the cob, HM coleslaw and BBQ sauce here:-)
    Then some ham gets used on eggs Benedict Xmas morning and the rest cold along with turkey on Boxing Day:-)
  • we usually have a take away but we had one at the weekend, so today will be just a picky dinner...sausage rolls, sandwiches etc.
    Boxing day we will be having ribs, pulled pork, buffalo wings and sides.

    We don't have any real Christmas Eve meal traditions.


    We are having chilli con carne later, mainly because it's my favourite!


    However, I do like to have sausage rolls on Christmas Eve evening, so they'll be in the oven later
