http://www.indianfoodforever.com/ If you look at this site it has a lot of interesting recipes. I would think a lot of different dishes on the day would make for a more interesting meal than our traditional one which lets face it can be eaten any day of the week. At least in the old days you looked forward to a turkey because it was the only time you saw it.Happy Cooking.

I'll be having turkey and sprouts because I like em,but just what is an English traditional Christmas dinner?
I won't be having Goose,because I don't like it,I won't be having Oyster sauce,(whatever that is), I won't be having plum pudding. Christmas meals in the past were about providing the most lavish meal you could afford,so various sections of society ate different things.

Sorry,I think it was oyster stuffing,not sauce, that the affluent Victorians ate

Oyster Stuffing

5 stalks celery, diced
240 g chopped onion
425 g crumbled cornbread
70 g chopped, cooked turkey giblets
225 g shucked oysters
15 g chopped fresh parsley
1 g dried basil
6 g salt
2 g paprika
0.7 g dried sage
2 g ground nutmeg
2 eggs
475 ml chicken stock
In a skillet, saute the celery with the onions until the onions are translucent.
In a large bowl combine the crumbled cornbread, cooked celery, cooked onions, giblets, oysters, parley, basil, salt, paprika, dried sage and nutmeg. Toss well. Beat the 2 eggs. Add the eggs and chicken stock to the stuffing mixture. Stuff stuffing in bird's cavity. Remove stuffing promptly once bird is cooked. You can also bake the stuffing separately from the bird in a large casserole dish. Bake it in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes.

what in heavens name is a "shucked" oyster?
Looking at the work involved BBWCHATT, I reckon it'll be a packet of 'saxo'
