Christmas Lunch / Dinner

[mazie]

What are you all having? Do you have starters and Pudding?

[China Doll]

No starters. Pork tenderloin for dinner. Probably pudding some time after dinner as we'll be stuffed... I'm not allowed to help this year on account of us having roast mash last year as I forgot I left the potatoes on to par-boil, whoops! (I still plan on trying to help though! :c)

Excellent strategy, worth imitating

[Smowball]

lol jno (am also am storing that idea for future reference - ahem)

[ummmm]

No starters.

Duck (breasts) beef and chicken with all the trimmings.

Trifle for pudding - we don't eat mince pies or xmas pudding.

We'll have the left over meats on boxing day with some cheeses, bread, salad and dips...and stuff

We don't really eat anything inbetween.

[Mamyalynne]

No starters.

Roast beef with all usual trimmings.

Dessert is being brought, so a surprise to me.

[albaqwerty]

another hint, go to the kitchen, sort everything out for the main course and forget to light the cooker.

The time lag between any starter and the main guarantees glares and snorts of derision.

Smoked salmon and blinis for breakfast, not sure about dinner chicken fajitas is likely as I have a lot of avocados to get through won't have a pudding but might have some cheese in the evening.

[ummmm]

I'm having smoked salmon and scrambled egg. I might get some balinis as I've never tried them.

LOL at CD....I'm trying that next year. We are travelling to Edinburgh to be with the grandkids and Son and DiL come round for lunch. No starter for us But everyone insists on Traditional Turkey with all the trimmings. I've made profiteroles for the kids, warm mince pies with cream for me and I've made a Pavlova (Raspberry) for everyone else. We normally eat about 3pm. Nibbles about 8pm and lots of booze.

For the first time in years, we are going elsewhere for Christmas Dinner (to my Son's) and I don't care what we have. It can be eggs and bacon, curry,anything. The great thing is that I won't have to lift a finger. Yeeeeahh

[mazie]

I'm green with envy Lottie :o(

Worst part is I have to do the same again on Boxing day...well not Turkey, we go to my Son's and he likes me to cook the dinner..I've made it and frozen it so that's one less job for Boxing day

[rockyracoon]

No starters, turkey and gammon with everything you'd expect, pudding will be individual pavlovas topped with honeycomb and chocolate sauce (thanks voddie) or passion fruit, xmas pud will also be up for grabs.

[mazie]

Sounds lovely trigg...what do you have for starters? and does your Mum make Christmas Dinner?

[Smowball]

Its our turn to go to the in-laws for dinner, so not sure about starter, turkey and all the trimmings for lunch and I am making the dessert and taking it over - chocolate & grandmarnier roulade.

[craft1948]

No starter
Stuffed turkey breast, sprouts etc
Trifle
Sleep...............

[echokilo]

No starter, herb crusted rack of lamb with dauphinoise and green beans, and a sultana and apple pudding.... and then a sleep!

[mazie]

The pavlova's sound great rocky x

[AlwaysConfused]

My Christmas meal is spread out throughout the day, I tend not to differentiate between brekkie, lunch and dinner. I will start off with garlic mussels in a white wine sauce, then some pate on toast a and a prawn cocktail later. Under protest, we will then have turkey (I wanted chicken or duck) with most of the trimmings, followed by cheese and biscuits a little later on. And because we are classy, oh so classy, we shall snack on little nibbles such as Pringles, cheese straws and twiglets.

Is your Daughter coming for Christmas craft?
