We are having lamb. This is the first time I am doing the traditional Christmas thing, one year I even cooked Mexican! Because I want to have it as traditional as possible I am doing a little frozen turkey breast as well as my slow roasted leg of lamb!
Turkey for me. I love turkey. Completely opposite to what the thread was asking I know, but i wanted to show turkey some love, it must be feeling a bit left out here .
Chicken. Only because the smallest turkey was £12, and a largeish chicken was half the price and there's only two of us. I spent the money 'saved' on treat food for this evening!

I'm sure turkey's feeling fine in the 'how much was your Christmas turkey' thread. Hearing how many people are spending money on it, must be quite the ego boost.
We are having roast beef, my mum and dad don't like turkey, they only really had it for me, but this year is the first year we have been there for dinner for years so I'm just happy to be there, food comes second.
Vegan roast - Delia Smith Red Cabbage with Apple, Sprouts, Parsnips and Cauliflower followed by home-made mincemeat made into Mary Berry's Mincemeat Streusel which is much nicer than mince pies (we made it last week to try it and it is delicious).
don't know what I'm having. I don't like tradition, I don't celebrate christmas, tomorrow is just Dec 25th.
It'll be chicken of some kind as that's all I eat. Whether it's chicken tikka, peppered chicken or garlic chicken, I've no idea. It could just be a chicken mayo panini or ciabatta and chips. No idea.
Feijoada is slave food. It's a stew with black beans, different kinds of sausage, bacon, pigs ears and feet and stuff like that. Sounds horrible but it's good. Farofa is toasted cassava flour which also sounds horrible but it's one of my favourite things ever. It all goes really well with collard greens, slices of orange and a few caipirinhas.

My family used to have turkey until one year I mentioned that none of us actually liked it. After that we switched to chicken, but I'll be having a mushroom burger with my food as I don't eat meat now.
We're having Toad in the Hole. My 6yr old asked about a month ago if we could have it for xmas dinner. Suits me, can still do all the trimmings. Just made the Deliaa Smith sticky toffee puds ready to finish off tomorrow as xmad pud does nowt for me.
when i was living at hone we never bothered with a turkey. if its a high number of guests 6+ it might be worth it but there was 4 of us and the high price £30 at least just for some meat for one day my dad would never have paid it. we just had normal meat - either chicken , beef , pork. it was different each year. i think my dad wanted duck a lot of the years but i wasn't keen.
i don't mind turkey but i wont ever bother getting any myself. last year it was me and my partner's first Christmas living together and i think we had chicken . we couldn't have afforded blowing £30 on meat anyway plus a massive turkey just for 2 of us would have been stupid. we could have got a small one but that's still pricey. this year however I'm lucky , we are going over to my partners parents for Christmas and his mom bought a turkey so i get to have turkey on Christmas day for the first time in years and i don't have to pay for it
We are having a seven bird roast. Crow, blackbird, song thrush, turtle dove, robin, linnet and wren. Cannot wait to feel the crunch of their tiny bones. Will be starving afterwards though.
I am ill and have just come out of hospital, so I shall probably have a few spoonfuls of Rice Krispies for breakfast, half a tin of Heinz tomato soup for lunch and a little bit of apple puree, like a baby's, for my tea. Maybe a ginger biscuit or two. A couple of cubes of cheese to take the taste of my tablets away. And a few glasses of Cranberry juice.
That's all!
Ho ho ho - and a very Merry Christmas to you all, whatever you're eating!
