Christmas dinner

[Ninja]

Serious question, what makes a good Christmas dinner?
What meat you having?
Should there be yorkies? No room for them in my opinion...
Sprouts? If you want to stink the house out...
And what's with them pigs in blankets, who wants sausage and bacon on a Christmas dinner ffs...

Given the choice, it'd be a standard minty lamb roast for me, homemade gravy is a must though.

Re: Christmas dinner

Turkey, roasties, pigs, bread sauce, root veg mash, carrots, sprouts, peas, cauliflower cheese, stuffing x2, cranberry, gravy.
NO YORKSHIRES.

Sprouts are the favourite,roast parsnips,carrots,potatos.Large helping of turkey,stuffing,carnberry and 3 yorkshires and plastered with gravy.

Re: Christmas dinner

Lots of meat, chicken, beef, gammon (no turkey as it’s the poorest of all the meat). 456 sprouts, 234 parsnips (crispy), 5667 pigs in blankets, gravy, that’ll do me.

Re: Christmas dinner

Turkey and Beef if I am home. Definitely not lamb. May be gammon instead of the beef

Yorkshire pudding whatever meat as there has been for the last 40 years. Peas,carrots roasties and mash, there will be sprouts,but I won't have them or the cauliflower cheese

And pigs in blankets of course. Nothing wrong with them.

But I may still be in hospital, in which case I guess it will be either be Turkey or Beef

Hope it's not hospital food and you can have your choice at home!

Re: Christmas dinner

Never got the whole pigs in blankets thing. Cooked dinner should always have a Yorkshire though and crispy stuffing no matter the meat.

the M&S / Lidl christmas " meat " are already done, just chuck them in the oven , the Qourn Roast is just like a roll of " meat " ( so also oven based )
The Wife will prep the Pigs in blankets, the sprouts and Red cabbage Christmas Eve, but she will do everything else on the day, Im never allowed in the kitchen, she kicks me out as I make too much of a mess / arse around / haven't a clue / more arseing around / steal food ( though saying that, I do cook for the girls occasionally when my wife in work, but its a pasta dish or a few pizza's in the own )

Re: Christmas dinner

Turkey (either crown or rolled), pigs in blankets, roasted vegetables including caramelised challots, carrots and parsnips, sprouts (my favourite), peas, potatoes, stuffing with bacon, cranberry, bread and apple sauces, Yorkshire puddings, occasionally a small joint of pork with crackling depending on how many for lunch.

Usually have Christmas pud waiting in the wings but usually have it a day or two later as completely stuffed after all the previous.

Day later left over cold meat with bubble and squeek and pickles.

Thanks

I hope so too.

4 months in hospital is enough now, but I have got COVID at the moment and it has put my discharge back by days
