Turkey, Goose, Capon, Fish and Chips, Indian, Chinese and any I missed...

What will you be eating on Christmas Day for dinner. And what about the brussels, like them or loath them eh? And then there's the parsnips, leeks, pea's, roast potatoes (Maris Piper at that), red cabbage, boiled new potatoes, carrots, monge tout, corn on the cob, courgettes, asparagus etc.

Or is it a normal day....bubble and squeak for example?

C'mon then members lets have your Christmas Day Menu.   

Roast tenderloin of beef, honey mustard crusted ham, made-from-scratch macaroni & cheese (no instant stuff), mixed green salad, corn or carrots, green beans, dinner rolls, pecan pie and Christmas cookies.  All of which reminds me I need to get to the liquor store for my holiday bottle of Amarula Cream!

Brussels -- can take them or leave them.

What is monge tout?

where's the plum pudding on your list, Ron?

Hi Barbara....that sounds like a really nice dinner. As for monge tout, they are basically flat peas! Lol But they are very nice.

Forgot the pudding, can't normally eat it anyway.

Could be we need to book our next Christmas dinner with you Barbara.

Our plan so far: roast duck, roast capon, brown sugar crusted ham, corn pudding, candied yams, kolachi (Czech filled pastries), green bean & French-fried onion casserole, mashed potatoes with onion bits, pickled beets, Southern biscuits & chicken gravy, Southern corn bread, arepas (Venezuelan corn cakes), assorted pies and cookies . . . and brandied plum pudding with hard sauce.

Not exactly lo-cal--I'm hungry already!

Sounds like another fine meal Rob but amazing how different things actually are.

Whats hard sauce?

Here's a recipe for hard sauce, Ron:

• 1/2 cup soft butter
• 1 1/2 cup sifted confectioners' (powdered) sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract OR 2 tablespoons rum or brandy

Don't think I'm leaving mine - everyone elses sounds too exciting!

We have a dinner time family buffet to enable us to swap presents.  We cook the turkey crown on Christmas Eve and just do a few roast parsnips and well as mashed potato, peas and carrots. As I can't have gluten or wheat or yeast I make Christmas meals very difficult for other people and also I don't tend to eat out because of it as some gluten invariably slips in the meal somewhere and I am ill for days after!

No plans this year. At least none that I know of. We ususally have ham or turkey, stuffing, potatos, a veg....dull really!! My family is not too experimental when it comes to cooking!!!

I love Brussel sprouts Ron!!!

Can someone adopt me for Christmas this year??
