What do you have on your christmas day menu

dooj

For brekfast the man of the house always cooks bacon sarnies (we never hardly ever have fries in our house) we even have a special Guiness christmas chefs hat he wears. Dinner is the usual but we also have a light pud e.g fruit and from frais with meringue which is much more refreshing than christmas cake or pud and i dont even like christmas pud or cake so just bought small individual one for OH.

Here it's usually Egg, Bacon, Sausage, etc etc full english breakfast, lunch will be roast chicken, roast potatoes, my mum's wonderful garlic potatoes - I would personally just eat a plate of these with nothing else, but it's not allowed sprouts (tossed with a knob of butter, bacon and onions), yorkshire puddings (with english mustard and tiny sausages) thick chicken gravy (I just hate thin watery gravy), probably peas and sweetcorn and for dessert, probably chocolate surprise pudding with custard. Dinner....... erm...... probably nothing cos lunch usually fills us up too much!

We usually have:

Breakfast

Christmas Muffins, plenty of tea

Then unwrapping of presents to the accompaniment of traditional carols, and something fizzy!

Lunch

Sometimes a starter, but something light, like tomato and mozzarella salad

Roast Turkey
Stuffing (homemade, step FIL's recipe, yum!)
Sausages wrapped in bacon
Yorkshire puddings (I know it's not beef, but gotta have em!)
Cranberry sauce
Roast potatoes (lots!)
Brocolli
Carrots
Peas
Sprouts
Lashings of 'proper' gravy

Usually not Christmas pudding (as I don't like it) but I will do a couple of smaller ones if guests are coming who do like it. Last year I did a chocolate and black cherry trifle which we had at tea time as we were too full from lunch to eat it straight afterwards!

For Boxing Day we'll have 'normal' breakfast, i.e. cereal, toast etc, then an all-day buffet including cold cuts and salad etc.

This year however, it will be a little different, depending on when our baby decides to put in an appearance LOL!

Breakfast -

croissants with HM strawberry jam made with our own strawberries (so we can go 'ahhh, do you remember when the strawberries were out this summer'

Lunch - salmon mousse and prawns with a little salad (I make sure there are enough prawns for the cats, it's Christmas for them too)

then

Lychee and Elderflower sorbet

then

Turkey with 2 or 3 stuffings but celery and walnut has to be one of them
bacon, chipolatas, bread sauce, cranberry etc
Roasties, mashed potato, carrots & sprouts

then

HM pud with rum sauce

then

nap in front of the telly

Later, it all comes out of the fridge and everyone helps themselves plus there will be either a Baileys or Christmas pudding flavoured cheesecake, Christmas cake and mince pies

food :rotfl:

Sorry just could not resist. As that is my stock answer when my husband asked me what I want to eat. Then he will ask what kind of food hot or cold. My reply is edible food.

Any way on christmas day it is:

Bran Flakes and juice same as every other day.

Turkey,Stuffing but not for me, Roast Pots, Sprouts but not for me, green beans, peas, carrots and lashing of gravy.

Steamed chocolate pudding and cream, ice cream of custard as neither my husband or I particular like christmas pud.

Tea is:

Turkey sandwiches, trifle, chocolate log and if you have room christmas cake

Yummy.


Yours

We're having Christmas at our house for the first time this year with my parents coming to us Xmas morning to Boxing day lunch time. Here's what I'm thinking of :

Xmas day

Breakfast : Chocolate Crossiants

Lunch :
Starter (If I can be bothered): Cheese Souffle
Main: Beef wellington
Roast Spuds
Roasted Vegetables (carrotts/parsnips/courgettes/peppers)
Yorkshires if anyone says they want them
Sausages in bacon 'cos my dad won't recognize it's Xmas without them!
Pudding : Chocolate mousse or pavlova
Cheese & biscuits (gotta have stilton & brie at Xmas:D)

Tea : (usually eaten over cards or board games)
Cold buffet of quiche, chicken legs, crab, rice salad, garlic bread, cheese & biscuits & Xmas cake.

Boxing day

Breakfast : Waffles & honey

Lunch :
Chicken or sausage casserole made overnight in slow cooker with rice
whichever pudding we didn't have on Xmas day/Xmas cake.
Cheese & biscuits (more stilton & more brie:D)

Penny-Pincher!!

Hey

Breakfast (about 10am): Bacon, Sausage, mushrooms, egg, beans or tomatoes, fried bread, hash browns, toast/bread & butter.

Dinner (about 3ish)

Roast Turkey, roast spuds, mash spuds, roast parsnips, yorkshires, sprouts, carrot & swede mash, peas/sweetcorn, sausage wrapped in bacon, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy.

Xmas pud & custard or HM trifle with sherry. Xmas cake too.

Supper...if anyone is hungry...left over meat in sarnies and normally have in things like sauasage rolls, pork pies, quiche, nibble crisps, cheese and crackers etc.

Not a very healthy day really
