hahaha

Chicken, some naff packet roast potatoes that turned to cardboard and some sprouts. Now I have belly ache.

I had some chocolate brownies and a big bag of crisps.

a vegie meat 'chicken' style thing, cranberry and orange stuffing, brussels, parsnips honey roasted baby carrots, roasted potatos, normal baby carrots, broccoli, mash potato, red cabbage and apple, yorkshires and gravy! didn't realise i had cooked and eaten so much!

My list looks very sparse in comparison to everyone else's and I thought we had too much.

you have to read the fiona cook books

Prawn Cocktail for starters, mmmm.

Turkey
Mash
Roasties
Carrot
Sprouts (red and green!)
Celeriac
Pigs in blankets
Pork stuffing with fruit

With lashings of gravy and cranberry sauce.

Couldn't fit pudding after that

how can you have red sprouts

Well i was a t my aunts and i wasnt expecting to have as much as i thought. Turkey, sausage meat, bacon wrapped sausage, spuds, sprouts, sweed, carrots, peas, leak. Well im dead now!

Roast Turkey

Sausage meat wrapped in Bacon

Spuds (roasted in lamb fat)

Sprouts

Peas

Carrotts

Very thick gravy (made from the juices of the turkey)



Then came the Homemade Christmas pudding, I had very thick cream on mine.

I had a glass of Blue Nun wine which made me a bit wonky because I don't normally drink.

Deep fried sprouts are meant to be lush (in a fashion, aherm!)

I skipped Christmas dinner as I was alone at the time and the effort outweighed the return.

just traditional christmas food...


all that, plus other stuff, green beans, etc etc. i had so much different stuff on my plate, i could only eat half and had no room for pudding till past 7. it was lovely!

when i was younger i hated sunday dinner type food, now its like one of my fav. meals.

roast turkey
ham
roast potatoes
mashed potato
roasted parsnips and carrots glazed with honey
yorkshire puddings
gravy
(no sprouts or peas for me)

2 glasses of red grape shloer

Then 2 hours later, trifle and a cup of tea

We had Indian for dinner actually. Very weird, because we usually do go traditional. But tonight we will go for the chicken.

Turkey, carrots, sprouts, potatoes, broccoli and washed down with sparkling wine

Pudding and brandy Cream

Turkey with sage and onion stuffing
Roast potatoes
Peas
Sprouts
Sausages in bacon
Gravy

I don't like Xmas pudding, so I had a trifle. Then quite a few Quality Street later on.

Was every enjoyable!

Asparagus with butter
Halloumi with artichokes
Treacle tart with clotted cream
Cheese and crackers
Some chocolates and crisps.

Very nice indeed.

Had nothing, as I was at work.

Turkey, roast potatoes and a selection of small vegtables.

but what I want to know does anyine else go to their inlaws / parents / siblings and have to do the cooking if they want things be edible?

I did and it tasted disgusting, had to throw it out in the end. What a waste of good ingredients. I have missed having my Christmas pud - I love them. I'm going to have to buy one for New Year's day.

It depends on the recipe I suppose........some great Organic beer went into it.

Crisp butties!

Turkey
Beef
Pig in Blankets
Mash/Roast/Boiled

Peas
Sprouts (I didn't but they were out)
