Christmas food/meals

COOKIES280

What is everyone having for their Christmas dinner this year? I'm intrigued to see the variety Grin

Mine is going to be pigs in blankets, stuffing and a potato Potato (random I know) 

  • We're having duck this year, none of the family like turkey. We have had goose a good few times, which is good, but a large duck is less difficult (not so much fat to drain off). The strangest thing we have had for Christmas dinner is stuffed monkfish tails, very good, but very fiddly. They have to be tied with string, like a joint. I cooked them, but I would not do it again.

    My family is part German, so we do Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. On the continent there are a few countries that celebrate Christmas on Christmas eve... having said that we aren't doing an uber traditional Christmas eve...

    Christmas Eve: Indian Takeaway (my treat to parents).

    Christmas Day: Beef and all the trimmings.

    I was going to cookfor my parents tonight... Schweinhaxen, a traditional German dish of Pork Knucle (not as gross as it sounds... its a roasted ham hock) served with either dumplings or potato rosti (German equivalent of a large hash brown). But I did a trial and mum didn't like the smell of the pork that was still present in the kitchen the next day. It's a shame as I got the crackling spot on!!!

  • I'm going to my sister's for Christmas, I eat whatever they eat.

    I haven't done any special Christmas food shopping.  My only shop today was a 2 litre bottle of milk.

  • We're veggie.  A very high end nut roast but with most of the trimmings people have with a turkey.  

  • Slice of chicken breast, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, carrots, parsnip, cauliflower, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, pickled onions, cranberry sauce, gravy.
