Christmas dinner

[yummymum]

What will you Christmas dinner consist of? I have not decided yet but I know there will be pigs in blankets and homemade gravy...mmmmmm

[cazzz1975]

there will be sprouts!

[tigerlily11]

It won't. I'm doing a buffet.

[Eve]

Not altogether sure what I'm doing yet as have the cat to think about now.

If I end up at my parents then will be a noggin of sherry in the morning while listening to Carols from Kings then turkey, roast potatoes, carrots, white cabbage, sprouts and parsnips with gravy.

Then Christmas pudding for dessert with brandy butter.

Mum usually cooks a nice gammon joint so some of that for tea with salad.

[yummymum]

oh yes there will be sprouts, a buffet is a good idea but i dont think i will get away with it

[sweetpea...!]

yep definitely pigs in blankets, stuffing and probably cheese sauce on the cauliflower...yum

[sweetpea...!]

I can understand your confusion Jenna, I wouldn't know what to serve with cat either!!!!

[bensmum]

We like all the little extras better than the meal really. I always have to do loads of pigs in blankets and bacon with the turkey.
We will have turkey & pork and I cook lots of extra veg ready for bubble & squeak on Boxing day

[Eve]

Lol @ sweeetpea :)

Ooh I forgot stuffing! Bread sauce as well with the turkey.

Cranberry sauce too but none of that for me.

[Aprilis]

We like to stick with the traditional roast turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It has novelty value as we don't have turkey any other time.

What is a pig in a blanket?

We're going to a restaurant on Xmas day and will be having
Oak smoked Scottish Salmon , with crab mayonnaise and quails eggs. Followed by traditional roast turkey with usual trimmings. Followed by Christmas pudding with Brandy sauce.

Hope it's nice.

[Aprilis]

Ooh yeah, there has to be cranberry sauce, bread sauce, pigs in blankets etc and roast parsnips are a must.

[Aprilis]

Velvetee, pigs in blankets are those little sausages wrapped in bacon.

[Velvetee]

Yes but what is a pig in a blanket?

[annie0000]

Homemade soup for starters with home made crusty bread.

Duck with dauphinoise potatoes, carrots, mange toute and brocolli.

Pud - not sure yet, maybe trifle.

No 1 son will be having macaroni cheese, No 2 son will be having chicken pie and instant mash - they say they should have their favourite thing on christmas day, and i can't fault their logic!

[Velvetee]

Oh right, but is that all Yummymum is having, cocktail sausages in bacon with gravy?

[I Love Snow]

I will be having very dry turkey for my dinner as my mother in law cooks it for hours or should that be days?

[yummymum]

im not a lover of turkey but having chicken seems boring, im the only one that likes duck and i wouldnt know where to get a goose or what to do with it, the cheese sauce sounds good. You have all got me thinking now and hungary

[tabytha]

hi all merry christmas. why go with the traditional much easier to get what everyone will eat so we have a duck this year and a leg of lamb. having 2 kids of my own and 3 step kids im lucky 2 get away with that lol x

[annie0000]

What about steaks, roast beef, gammon etc. When I was in sainsburys, they had some very large free range chickens - I think they were about �10 - that done with all the trimmings would probably be just the thing.

Altenatively you could have jen's cat ;o)

[yummymum]

well i do have a very annoying parrot i could roast but i probably wont get mucj off him
