What are you having for Christmas Dinner?

Nutroast

If I get my way and we go to my parents (and we avoid Norovirus and end up having breadsticks and plain crackers!) we will have

- Turkey/Quorn Roast/Nut Roast (no meat for me)
- Roast potatoes
- Carrot & Swede mash
- Peas
- Green beans
- Brussels
- Chestnut stuffing
- A blob of cranberry sauce (that we all forget about till half way through the meal!)
- Sausages in bacon (not for me)
- My sisters super thick gravy - the best kind
- Maybe broccoli and Yorkshires. Can't remember if we have them or not!

If we have to go to OH mums it will probably not be quite such a feast and nowhere near as fun an atmosphere as back home with my family and siblings.

It'll be either Roast Beef or Roast Lamb in the Marley household. Whichever we don't have on Christmas Day, we'll have on New Year's Day.

Definitely some choices missing from the poll!

Turkey

I will pick something nice from the menu of the fancy restaurant I am being taken to.

I haven't decided on the meat yet, but I am already stressing about the red cabbage :eek:

MIL usually cooks it, but isn't well, so I've got to step up to the plate and make it myself. She's German, so hers is perfection and my husband's favourite food at Christmas. I know mine won't be as good, but I'm sure it will be good enough - hope so anyway!

I must be feeling masochistic as I'm also toying with having a first attempt at making hochzeits suppe - a fiddly German celebration soup - as a first course.

I enjoy making my cranberry sauce, lovely Christmas smell wafting round the house. I make industrial quantities as I always end up giving lots away and my batch has to last all year. 2 or 3 kilos of cranberries, big bag of oranges and a bottle of port. Yum!

With loads of "trimmings".

A special meal at a time when the whole family gathers to both remember and rejoice, IMHO.

Can't help wondering why this wasn't posted in the "Christmas And Other Yuletide Festivals" board though?

I think we're going to the Indian Restaurant in the village. We have no cooker so me and OH will likely end up having a row :mad:
This way no arguments! And then I have to try and persuade him to drive me to Doncaster on Boxing Day

This year it's me and my two girls who eat like birds.

For the first time ever I will be cooking Christmas dinner.

I will be doing a large turkey breast and a small ham. I will have Brussels, girls will not. I will also do peas for older daughter and beans for younger one. Mash and roasties for all. No stuffing or cranberry as we don't like it. Our dinner will be just like many Sunday dinners but the table decorations will be festive and there will be Christmas music in background.

My 13 year old will make a Pavlova and at some point in the evening we will stuff that in us while lying in front of the fire watching only fools and horses.
