What are you having for Boxing Day lunch?

That is intriguing... How do you manage that?

• Freeze 5 different types of soup in unlabelled containers so you can't tell which one you are defrosting OR..
• Make the soup when very drunk so you don't remember what is in it!

Tins so old the labels have come off

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Scrambled egg with salmon and toast

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Leftover potatoes onions and carrots mashed up into a bubble and squeak mix, then fried up with an egg on top. Plus whatever else is in the fridge, pork pie, ham etc I think.

 

[PK99]

Butter and Garlic Baked Salmon with a garnish of Crispy Fried Chipirones

And a nice bottle of Crement de Loire

We had Christmas dinner with family yesterday and boxing day just isn't boxing day without leftovers, so it's the full Turkey dinner for me later. Can't wait.

Christmas dinner again ! - Well just the mains this time. Loads of roasties left over that just need warming, and veg can be steamed. Left over gravy too.

We had Cauliflower & smoked paprika soup and a pint of Cotleigh Reinbeer at the Oxenford Inn, South Zeal.

 

[MichaelW2]

Brunch of guacamole and smoked salmon on toast.

I wouldn’t mix together
I’m actually just having tinned salmon now 😋

Smoked salmon has a rather delicate flavour and best eaten with just oatcakes.

Indeed, although we eat with wholemeal bread, lemon and black pepper but other options available

I make soup from whatever is to hand at the time. There is a possibility of cabbage, carrot, parsnip, turnip, lentils, tinned or left over tomato, artichoke, peppers etc. This makes usually 5 servings of which two are put in the freezer. I use specific boxes for soup so they are not labelled and I just take out whichever one is handiest at the time. I very rarely use tins and never for soup although condensed soup can make a handy sauce.
When I went camping with the Scouts overnight everybody brought a tin of something and they were all dumped into a large pot and heated up. The mystery mixture always tasted good.

I also need to make a turkey stew from the veg that went in the bottom of the roasting tin - loads of liquid and veg left, so will add spuds, more veg, cook and pop in the left over turkey - that's tomrrow's job.

 

[Paulus]

Cold Turkey, gammon, bubble and squeak with various pickles.

 

[Kingfisher101]

Soup, a roll and crisps. I dont like xmas food full stop.

Will be Pork medallion, mash and veg. Put a stop to excessive Christmas food for a few years now; Christmas day dinner is still turkey but turkey breasts done in around 6 mins in a George Forman grille and the whole lot is cooked in 30 minutes.
