    No chicken there!!! :huh: I know a number of people who have chicken instead of turkey as turkey is so dry. So I am surprised to see chicken not there.

    I went for 'other' as we have a mixture of meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans in the house at Christmas. So we will have a mixture of chicken, nut roast, and the Quorn family roast.

    Either streak & chips or fajita's for us - both my wife & I like to relax at Christmas so we'll just have a quick and simple meal with plenty of nibbles for the rest of the day.

    This may have some bearing on your choices: REVEALED: Where you can buy Christmas dinner for £2.75 a head?

    Seems like Aldi offers the most MSE traditional Christmas.

    Don't do christmas so no special dinner.

    If I remember I had leftover mince on the 25th last year, it all depends on the day of the week and what I had the day before.

    Nutroast
    I'm having nut roast. The others will be getting turkey, but this year, instead of getting a whole turkey, we're thinking of getting this.

    We are going to do something completely unconventional and have a huge salad.

    We are pescatarians so there will be a piece of fish in there something (not decided which type yet). I am already looking forward to it!

    Turkey
    Probably be a turkey crown for us.
  • Turkey
    I will be going to my parent's house and mum cooks a huge turkey, ham, stuffing, roasties, mash, Brussels, peas, carrots, cauli, gravy and probably a few other bits I have forgotten. I usually go round on Christmas eve for an hour or two and help with the prep so its just a matter of turning the oven & hobs on.


    If I was on my own I wouldn't make so much of a fuss. I would be happy with a stuffing sandwich and roasties with gravy.

    Definitely not turkey!

    Probably lots of nibbles (canape type things) both home made and bought in, the same as last year.
