What will your main meal be on christmas day??

[TissoT]

Will be Dining out for Cantonese 7 course meal.

Just the two of us.

Can get a little boring sat Watching the Tv and eating.

 

[geocycle]

Nut roast made from squash and chestnut with cranberry topping, followed by Cartmel post office Christmas Pudding and brandy sauce

 

[Andy_R]

Gammon is soaking in a mix of pineapple and apple juice as we speak, ready to be poached in cider with spices and then marmalade glazed in a low oven for a couple of hours.

I'm afraid we're back to turkey

 

[gbb]

Several changes this year.
Ultimately, it's going to be the usual Turkey dinner. We had brought a big piece of lamb but as time has marched on, my wife started feeling it was a bit un-Christmassy so relented and brought a turkey breast.
Normally it'd be a full turkey but we're restricting numbers this year, normally it's up to 23 or 26 people but its just not sensible given where we are with covid.
Shame is, it would have been 5 generations say round the table, mum 91, us, our daughter, her son and his son aged 1. That's got to be a rarity in itself.

 

[The Crofted Crest]

Just the two of this year, so I'll be doing pork in cider casserole, 8 hours in the slow cooker, with mashed potatoes, sprouts, red cabbage and parsnip puree. Followed by whiskey trifle.

 

[Poacher]

Since we haven't been able to enjoy our customary trip to Madeira for Christmas and New Year, I've been commanded to cook Portuguese meals, so it'll be Atum de cebolada (tuna with caramelised onions) served with boiled potatoes and mushy peas for that confusion cooking touch on Christmas day instead of nut roast and all the trimmings. This is a relatively frequent meal at Poacher Towers, so I'm confident of approval.
Boxing day will be Bacalhau com natas (salt cod cooked with onions and fried cubed potatoes in a cream sauce) with freshly made bread.
Traditionally this would be a Christmas eve dish, but I've never cooked it before and Mrs Poacher doesn't want to feel ill on Christmas day.
Such lack of trust!

 

[Dave7]

Probably toad in the hole.
There is just me, 30th Xmas day cooking for myself. I think I went bonkers last year and had croque monsuir.

I must google that to find out what it is
Sounds posh

 

[HarryTheDog]

Lamb and all the trimmings, xmas pud etc. Both her kids (adults) dont like turkey.

 

[Salty seadog]

Same as we always do on Christmas Day - Sausage, Egg & Chips.

I didn't know Fray Bentos did canned egg and chips. Every days a school day.

a billion pigs in blankets

We've had to stress to my sister that 60 pigs in blankets for 12 of us it not enough, given my son and daughter like billions.

Reminds me, we need more.

Turkey dinner for us, mum cooking turkey, all of us sorting out everything else. 12 and a dog

Boxing Day, I'm cooking. Was just 4 then 6 , now 10. I don't mind as I've already got a big beef joint and that's going in the slow cooker.

We've got 60 between six of us and no doubt there will still be some scrapping over the last few

 

[numbnuts]

Not decided as yet, but one of the following
beans on toast
sardines on toast
cup-a-soup
fish finger sandwich
cheese on toast
baked potato
whatever it is it will be simple and quick

 

[glasgowcyclist]

We had planned to have salmon en croute from M&S but they seem to be sold out so........

I can heartily recommend Lidl's version, if you have a store near you.

 

[Chris S]

I'll just be having my normal lunch, Christmas Day was just an ordinary working day in Britain until the 1850s.
